SII 1.52: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch PART II. TAMIL AND GRANTHA INSCRIPTIONS. II. INSCRIPTIONS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF VELŪR. No. 52. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE PERUMĀḶ TEMPLE AT GĀṄGANŪR NEAR VELŪR. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv01p0i0052 DHARMAbase

This inscription is dated in the Pramāthin year, which was the 17th year of Sakalalokachakravartin Śambuvarāya. This date is at variance with that of a Kāñchīpuram inscription, according to which the Vyaya year and the Śaka year 1268 corresponded to the 9th year of Sakalalokachakravartin Rājanārāyaṇa Śambuvarāyar,Sewell's Lists of Antiquities, Vol. I, p. 180, No. 60. and we must either assume that the 9th year is a misreading for the 24th year, or that the king mentioned at Kāñchīpuram and that of the present inscription are two different persons.

The inscription is a receipt for the cost of a kāṇi,Equal to 24 maṉais. 1 maṉai is 2,400 square feet. which a certain Tiruveṅgaḍamuḍaiyāṉ seems to have soldAccording to the incomplete line 6, the price of the kāṇi seems to have been 170 paṇas. to the villagers of Nīlakaṇṭha-chaturvedi-maṅgalam and of Śrī-Mallinātha-chaturvedi-maṅgalam. The first of these two villages was also called Gāṅgeya-nallūrIn two fragments at the Gaṅgeśvara Temple (Nos. 104 and 105, below), this name is applied to the second of the two villages. Probably both were subdivisions of Gāṅganūr. (the modern Gāṅganūr) and was situated in Karaivaṛi-Āndi-nāḍu.Compare No. 102, below.
