SII 14.44: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar No. 44. (A.R. No. 334 of 1929-30.) ERUKKAṄGUḌI, SATTUR TALUK RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT. ON A SLAB ON THE BUND OF THE TANK IN THE VILLAGE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0044 DHARMAbase

This long Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscription in Tamil verse is stated to have been engraved in the 18th year of the reign of the Pāṇḍya king Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ who has been called also Śrīvallabhaṉ. It records that this king who had conquered his enemies from Kuṇṇūr to Siṁhaḷam bestowed the title of Iruppaikkuḍi-Kiḻavaṉ on a certain Eṭṭi-Śāttaṉ and that the latter repaired several tanks in Iruñjōḻa-nāḍu and built some temples and ambalams. The tank near which the slab is set up was one of the many water reservoirs which benefitted by this chief's philanthropic projects. He dismantled the old earthen bund, and built in its stead a stone-faced new embankment, so that this tank was now called Kiḻavaṉēri, after his title of ‘Kiḻavaṉ. ’ These activities of this chieftain have been reviewed in the Annual Report on South Indian Epigraphy for the year 1929-30, part ii, paragraph 2.
