Alternative title: “No. 64. (A.R. No. 250 of 1923.) KŌYIL-TĒVARĀYAṈPĒṬṬAI, PAPANASAM TALUK, TANJAVUR DISTRICT.”

Author of digital edition: Emmanuel Francis (emfr).

Summary: On the west wall, central shrine, Matsyapurīśvara temple.

Year 9 = 980 A.D.

This inscription is incomplete. It records an endowment of several plots of land after purchase from various persons, made by the queen-mother of Gaṇḍarādittaṉ Madhurāntaka Uttamachōḷa for the merit of her son, to the temple of Tiruchchēlūr Āḻvār at Rājakēsari-chaturvēdimaṅgalam to provide for the sacred bath to god with 108 pots of water on all the days of Saṅkrānti, for providing sumptuous food offerings (for general feeding) and (parivaṭṭam) to the god and also for the remuneration of the nambi (priest) who performed the abhishēkam and for the worship of the deity in the temple. The names of the villages and channels occurring in the record such as Naratoṅgavadi, Śrīkaṇṭa-vāykkāl, Sōḻachūḷamaṇivāykkāl etc, are suggestive of the surnames of the king’s predecessors.

Published in S.I.I., Vol. XIX No. 235.
