SII 23.131: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao

Alternative title: “No. 131. (A.R. No. 131 of 1907.) Koḍumbāḷūr, Kulattur Taluk, Tiruchirappalli District Muchukundēśvara temple—on the south wall of the maṇḍapa in front”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This is an inscription of Jaṭāvarman Vīra Pāṇḍyadēva dated in his 17th year, Siṁha, śu. 10, Thursday, Mūlam, corresponding to A.D. 1269, August 10. He seems to be the same as the ruler whose accession took place in A.D. 1253. The record begins with a short introduction mentioning his victories over Koṅgaṇam (Koṅgu), Vaḍugu (Vaḍugar), Gaṅgai-nāḍu (?) and the Kāvēri and his coronation of heroes and victors at Puliyūr (Chidambaram). It registers the sale of five pieces of land by the Kaikkōḷas and Kaikkōḷa-mudalis of Koḍumbāḷūr to the temple of Tirumudukuṉṟamuḍaiya-Nāyanār of the same village, in lieu of certain sums of money which seem to have been borrowed from the temple by them sometime previously and by their forebears (?). Owing to the damaged state of the record the sense of the inscription in its details is not clear. Mention is made of Poṉ, Paḻan-Śōḻiyan-kāśu and Vīra-Pāṇḍyan-kāśu of which the values seem to have stood in the ratio 110: 670: 1050. Again 150 Paṇam is said to answer to 10505 kāśu and 110 kaḻañju to 12505 kāśu in which the paṇam and kāśu are general terms to be understood specifically according to the prevalent usage.

Koḍumbāḷūr is said to be situated in Uṟattūr-kūṟṟam a division of Koṅāḍu otherwise called Kaḍalaḍaiyād-ilangai-koṇḍa-Śōḻa-vaḷanāḍu.

Language: Tamil (tam) [Tamil (tamil)].
