SII 12.124: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar No. 124. (A.R. No. 73 of 1918). IN THE SECOND GŌPURA (RIGHT OF ENTRANCE) OF THE SAME TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0124 DHARMAbase

This important record, dated in the 10th year, is unfortunately damaged and left unfinished. It refers to a battle that was fought at Perumbalūr (probably Perambalūr in the Trichinopoly district) wherein Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva is said to have defeated and killed some Hoysaḷa generals of whom the names of Kēśava, Harihara and Tīkkāṉaip-perumāḷ are legible in the record, and also to have captured their ladies and treasures. In expiation of this act Avaṉiāḷappiṟandāṉ alias Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva of Kūḍal in Kīḻ-Āmūr-nāḍu, a subdivision of Tirumuṉaippāḍi, made a gift of a gold forehead-plate called ‘Avaṉi-āḷappiṟandāṉ’ set with jewels for the god Tirumudukuṉṟamuḍaiya-Nāyaṉār and of cows for the maintenance of sacred lamps in the temple.

The Hoysaḷa general Kēśava is probably identical with the officer of the same name figuring in a record of the 24th year of Rājarāja III at Conjeeveram.A.R. No. 612 of 1919.

In the astronomical details given, śu must be a mistake for ba, for the former cannot combine with nakshatra Rēvatī in the month of Siṁha. There is not corresponding Christian date in the reign of Kōpperuñjiṅga II for the details given, but they work satisfactorily for A.D. 1241, July 29, Monday. This date falls in the reign of Kōpperuñjiṅgadēva I, assuming that, as suggested elsewhere,Ep. Ind. Vol. XXIII, p. 176. this chief commenced his regnal year from A.D. 1231-32, the date of the imprisonment of the Chōḷa king Rājarāja III at Śēndamaṅgalam. The present record would then belong to Kōpperuñjiṅga I.
