SII 14.68: original edition by A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar No. 68. (A.R. No. 122 of 1905.) TIRUPPUḌAIMARUDŪR, AMBASAMUDRAM TALUK, TIRUNELVELI DISTRICT. ON THE EAST WALL OF THE CHAṆḌĒŚVARA SHRINE IN THE PUṬĀRJUNĒŚVARA TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv14p1i0068 DHARMAbase

Dated in the 2+18th year of Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ, this Vaṭṭeḻuttu record from Tiruppūḍaimarudūr or Tiruppaḍumarudil as it was called in the old days, mentions a servant of Vīra-Pāṇḍyadēva, who was a native of Malayamādēvipuram in Pāṇḍimāttāṇḍa-vaḷanāḍu and refers to some donation made by him, the details of which are lost. Though this Vīra-Pāṇḍya is not specifically styled a Piḷḷaiyār, to denote his relationship to the reigning king, it is possible that he was identical with Vīra-Pāṇḍya, who figures in inscriptions with the title of ‘Śōḻaṉṟalaikoṇḍa’. As this Vīra-Pāṇḍya's date of accession has been calculated to be about 946 A.D., the Śaḍaiya-Māṟaṉ of this record may, as otherwise indicated also, be identical with Rājasimha, the contemporary of Parāntaka, and the immediate predecessor of Vīra-Pāṇḍya.
