SII 13.323: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao No. 323. (A.R. No. 14 of 1920.) TIRUMALAVĀḌI, UDAIYARPALAIYAM TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, VAIDYANĀTHA TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv13p0i0323 DHARMAbase

This records a gift of 10 kaḻañju of gold and a bronze lamp-stand for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Perumānaḍigaḷ at Tirumaḻavāḍi by Iḷaṅgōṉ Pichchi, the Senior queen of Śōḻapperumāṉār and the daughter of Vallavaraiyar. In M.E.R. 1920, II, 9, this inscription has been attributed to Rājarāja I, on account of the details of date given in it, viz., Tulā, Saturday, Bharaṇi. This seems to receive support from the mention of Vallavarayar in the record, pusumably the same as Vallavaraiyar Vandyadēvar the husband of Rājarāja's elder sister Kundavaiyār, both of whom largely figure in the Tanjore inscriptions of Rājarāja. It is curious however that in a record of such a late period of his reign like this one, the historical introduction of the king should have been omitted. It may be mentioned here that the details of the date also correspond to A.D. 897, October 15, which falls into the reign of Āditya I. ‘Vallavaraiyar’ might refer to the Rāshṭrakū a king of that period (See Ep. Ind. Vol. XXVI, p. 233).
