SII 14.41: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar No. 41. (A.R. No. 605 of 1915.) ĒRUVĀḌI, NANGUNERI TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON A BOULDER IN THE IRAṬṬAIPPOTTAI ROCK. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0041 DHARMAbase

This record dated in the 43rd year of the reign of Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ comes from Ēruvāḍi. This is the highest regnal year found for Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ for whom records in the 35th and 39th years have been found elsewhere. The rock on which this epigraph is engraved is very much weather-worn and the record is therefore defaced. It appears to register a gift of land by Irambāṭṭu-vēḷāṉ Śāttaṉ as paḷḷichchandam to the Bhaṭāra of Tiruviruttalai-Aruvāḷam in Nāṭṭāṟṟuppōkku, and a gift of sheep for a lamp. A Tamil verse at the end of the record, stated to have been composed by the donor himself contains an exhortation to all to offer worship to Aruhan on the hill. The donor IrambāTTu-vēḷāṉ has figured in another record from Daḷapatisamudram dated in the 35+6th regnal yearNo. 40 above. of this king.
