SII 22.169: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 169. (A.R. No. 169 of 1906) SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT, TIRUKKŌYILŪR TALUK, ELVĀNĀŚŪR. GRĀMĀRDHANĀTHA TEMPLE—IN THE SAME PLACE. VIKRAMA-CHŌḶA—13th YEAR (A.D. 1130-31).

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: The introduction is the same as the one given in No. 168 above. The inscription registers a written understanding (uḷvari ?) agreed to by the Śivabrāhmaṇas of the temple fixing the quantum of allowances to be received by them and of the items of offerings they had to provide during the daily early morning service to gods Vighnēśvara, Naṭarāja, Pirāṭṭiyār (goddess) and Kshētrapāladēva in the temple of Ūrbāgaṅkoṇḍa-Dēvar.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Grantha (grantha), Tamil (tamil)].
