SII 22.243: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: No. 243. (A.R. No. 243 of 1906) NORTH ARCOT DISTRICT, CHEYYAR TALUK, TIRUPPANAṄGĀḌU. ŚIVA TEMPLE—ON THE SOUTH WALL OF THE SAME MAṆḌAPA.

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: This is also dated merely in the cyclic year Vikāri, Māśi, Śivarātri. The writing seems to be of a later date than in No. 242 above. The inscription records the consecration of the images of Dakshiṇāmūrthi, Mahā-Vishṇu, Brahmā and Durgā (in the niches round the central shrine) in which the temple was hitherto wanting, and the provision made for their worship by land and money gifts by one Veṇṇaikkūttaṉ, son of Anantaṉ of the Ātrēya-gōtra, a resident of Īchchambāḍi. Mention is made of another donor also by name Veṅgappar-Piḷḷai, who is said to have given his magamai and uḷḷāyam incomes for an additional worship in the evenings to Dakshiṇāmūrthi and for offerings during the sacred bath on Fridays of the god and goddess in the main shrine.

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