SII 12.258: original edition by V. Venkatasubba Ayyar No. 258. (A.R. No. 503 of 1926). ŌMĀMPULIYŪR, CHIDAMBARAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE WEST AND SOUTH WALLS OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE IN THE PRAṆAVA-VYĀGHRAPURĪŚVARA TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv12p0i0258 DHARMAbase

The date of this damaged inscription is lost. It gives an instance of how the temple came to the rescue of persons placed in financial difficulties. The record states that certain Brahmans of Ulagaḷandaśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Mēṟkā-nāḍu, a subdivision of Virudarājabhayaṅkara-vaḷanāḍu ‘on the northern bank’, had stood surety for some tenants who went away without paying the dues on their lands. The duty of paying the arrears of dues devolved upon these persons, who when pressed for payment tried in vain to transfer the lands to others. Finally they requested the trustees of the temple, evidently at Ōmāmpuliyūr, to advance them money by taking at least a portion of the land as tirunāmattukkāṇi. The trustees thereupon sold some ornaments in the treasury which were perhaps not in use, and with the proceeds, assisted the Brahmans by buying the land for the temple.

In this inscription Ōmāmpuliyūr is called Ulagaḷandaśōḻa-chaturvēdimaṅgalam.
