SII 14.10: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar No. 10. (A.R. No. 414 of 1904.) TIRUCHCHIRĀPPAḶḶI, TIRUCHCHIRAPPALLI TALUK, TIRUCHIRAPPALLI DISTRICT. ON THE WALL OF THE ROCK-CUT CAVE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0010 DHARMAbase

This interesting inscription engraved in the Pallava rock-cut cave-temple on the hill at Tiruchchirāppaḷḷi is dated in the 4th year and 2,501st day of the reign of king Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ, who is also called Pāṇḍyādhirāja Varaguṇa[varman]. Having destroyed the fort at Vembil (i.e., Vēmbaṟṟūr near Kumbakōṇam), the king was staying at Niyamam at the time of the issue of this record. He is described as an ornament of both the solar and lunar dynasties, probably because of an earlier marital alliance between the Chōḷa (solar) and the Pāṇḍya (lu2nar) ruling families. The king is stated to have made a gift of 125 kaḻañju of gold to the temple of Tirumalai-Bhaṭāra, by which the liṅga in the rock-cut cave is evidently meant. From the fact that provision was made for burning five lamps in this temple on the day of Ārdrā every month, it is probable that Ārdrā was the natal star of this king.
