SII 3.25: original edition by Eugen Julius Theodor Hultzsch III.—INSCRIPTIONS IN THE PASUPATISVARA TEMPLE AT KARUVUR. No. 25.—ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE PASUPATISVARA SHRINE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv03p0i0025 DHARMAbase

This inscription contains an order of a king who bore the titles Tribhuvanachakravartin Kōnēriṉmaikoṇḍāṉ.See above, p. 44, note 8. He granted certain privileges to the artizans (Kaṇmāḷar) of the district of Veṅgāla-nāḍu,—to take effect from the month of Āḍi of the 15th year of his reign.

An almost identical duplicate of this inscription (No. 562 of 1893) is engraved on the central shrine of the Gōshṭhīśvara temple at Pērūr near Coimbatore. It differs chiefly in being addressed to the Kaṇmāḷar of Southern Koṅgu (Teṉ-Koṅgu) and in the king's bearing the title Kōṉērimēlkoṇḍāṉ instead of Kōnēriṉmaikoṇḍāṉ.

(Line 1.) Hail ! The emperor of the three worlds, the glorious Kōnēriṉmaikoṇḍāṉ (addresses the following order) to the Kaṇmāḷar of Veṅgāla-nāḍu.

“We have ordered that, from the month of Āḍi of the 15th (year of our reign), at your marriages and funerals, double conches may be blown and drums, etc., beaten, that sandals may be worn (on the way) to places which you have to visit, and that your houses may be covered with plaster. On the authority of this written order (ōlai), this may be engraved on stone and on copper in (all) places desired by you, so as to last as long as the moon and the sun.”

(L. 5.) This (is) the writing of Viḻuppādarāyaṉ.
