SII 1.68: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch PART II. TAMIL AND GRANTHA INSCRIPTIONS. IV. INSCRIPTIONS AT TIRUMALAI NEAR POLŪR. No. 68. ON A ROCK BURIED UNDERNEATH THE STEPS BETWEEN THE GOPURA AND THE PAINTED CAVE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv01p0i0068 DHARMAbase

Like the preceding inscription, this one is dated in the 12th year of Ko-Parakesarivarman, alias Uḍaiyār Rājendra-Choḷa-deva. It records the gift of a lamp to the god of the Tirumalai Temple, who seems to have been called Ārambhanandin, and allots money for the maintenance of this lamp and of another lamp, which had been given by “Śiṇṇavai, the queen of the Pallava king.” Like Kundavai, the queen of the Pallava king Vandyadeva,See page 97, above. this was probably a Choḷa princess, who was married to a Pallava king.

Hail! Prosperity! In the 12th year of (the reign of) Ko-Parakesarivarman, alias Uḍaiyār Śrī-Rājendra-Choḷa-deva, etc.,The historical part of this inscription is identical with that of No. 67.—Iḷaiyamaṇi-naṅgai gave one tirunandā lamp to the god of the holy mountain (Tirumalai) (at) the paḷḷichchandam of Vaigavūr in Mugai-nāḍu, a division in the middle of Paṅgaḷa-nāḍu, (which forms part) of Jayaṅkoṇḍa-Śoṛa-maṇḍalam. Twenty kāśus were given for cultivating the land (granted) for (the maintenance of) this (lamp). By (the produce of) this land, this lamp (shall be kept up) daily as a nandā lamp for Ārambhanandin, the lord of this temple, as long as the moon and the sun endure. Sixty kāśus were given for one nandā lamp, which had been given, for as long as the moon and the sun endure, by Śiṇṇavai, the queen of the Pallava king.
