SII 13.281A: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao No. 281A. (A.R. No. 18 of 1934.) CHINTĀMAṆI, PONNERI TALUK, CHINGLEPUT DISTRICT. ON A PILLAR IN THE ARDHA-MAṆḌAPA, CHINTĀMAṆĪŚVARA TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0281A DHARMAbase

This is an inscription of ‘Rājakēsarivarman who took Madura’, i.e. of Sundara-Chōḷa Parāntaka II, and is dated in the last year of his rule. It states that one Kuḍitāṅgi-Baṭṭālakaṉ purchased land from the assembly of the (group of ?) three villages, Karuṅgāli, Kaṇḍal-nallūr and Kaṇḍaṟpāgal, and presented it free of all taxes to the temple of Mahādēva at Tiruppagavaṉṟuṟai (evidently the present Chintāmaṇi) “which is as sacred on the Eastern Sea as Gōkarṇa is on the West”. The tenants of this land were to supply annually to the temple 10 nāḻi of oil on every half site of land occupied by them. The nāṭṭār of Paiyūr-nāḍu together with others were charged with the protection of this sacred trust. This and the next inscription are important as coming from the northernmost region of the Chōḷa dominion of the period.
