SII 19.357: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao, Dines Chandra Sircar and G.S. Gai No. 357. (A.R. No. 164 of 1929.) GŌVINDAPUTTŪR, UDAIYARPALAYAM TALUK, TIRUCHIRAPPALLI DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH AND WEST WALLS OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, GAṄGĀJAṬĀDHARA TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv19p0i0357 DHARMAbase

This is a bilingual record in Sanskrit and Tamil, stating that Ambalavaṉ Paḻuvūr-Nakkaṉ of Kavuḷālam (Kolar) who was a nobleman of the king's council and who had obtained the title Vikramaśōḻa-Mahārājaṉ after the surname of his over-lord, built the temple of Vijayamaṅgalattu-Mahādēva with stone at Periya-Śrīvānavaṉmahādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam a brahmadēya on the nothern bank of the river and made an endowment of the village Neḍuvāyil with its surrounding hamlets for offerings, worship and all other requirements of the temple after purchasing it tax-free from the assembly of the village. In the Sanskrit portion with which the inscription begins, the donor is said to have been a member of the fourth caste and a personification of all the good qualities, with whose valour the king was greatly pleased and conferred on him the title ‘Vikrama-Chōḷa-Mahārāja’. The inscription has been assigned to king Uttama-Chōḷa M.E.R. for 1929 (Part II, para 29).

The inscription from line 42 to 83 which is in continuation of the above is in smaller and also ornate style of writing and is faulty throughout. It purports to register an order issued in the 7th year of Rājarājadēva by the same donor (who is here called Rājarāja-Pallavaraiyaṉ) while he was camping at Śrī Vijayamaṅgalam, fixing in elaborate detail all the requirements in terms of paddy, for feeding 30 Śivayōgins and 20 Brāhmaṇas daily in the temple and for the maintenance of the several members of the temple staffs, which were to be met from the annual produce of the land granted.
