SII 12.88: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar APARAJITAVARMAN. No. 88. (A.R. No. 161 of 1912). ON ANOTHER SLAB IN THE SAME PLACE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0088 DHARMAbase

This is also dated in the 4th year of Vijaya-Aparājitavarman and it registers a similar agreement made by the sabhā and the amṛita-gaṇa of Ādambākkam to maintain a perpetual lamp in the same temple for the interest on 30 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Śappakkaṉ alias Pātradāni, the mistress of Vayiramēgaṉ alias Vāṇakōvaraiyar, son of Sāmi-Akkaṉ. As Vāṇakōvaraiyar is called the son of Perunaṅgai in the previous inscription, it is possible that the latter and Śāmi-Akkaṉ were identical. From the way in which this lady is introduced in the record, it is surmised that she should have been a mistress of the king (Ep. Rep. for 1913, p. 90.)

The term amṛita-gaṇa is mentioned only in the inscriptions of Aparājita at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr. It represents a committee which was probably connected with the āḷumgaṇattār who were the direct managing members of a village, and distinct from the general members of the village assembly.Ep. Ind. Vol. XI, p. 224. [It was perhaps mainly connected with the management of the offerings and lamps of the god-Ed].

The puḷḷis are marked in this record also (See Plate VI).
