SII 3.39: original edition by Eugen Julius Theodor Hultzsch IV.—INSCRIPTIONS AT MANIMANGALAM. No. 39.—ON THE EAST WALL OF THE MANDAPA IN THE RAJAGOPALA-PERUMAL TEMPLE. author of digital edition Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSSIIv03p0i0039 DHARMAbase

The subjoined inscription belongs to the 18th year of the reign of Tribhuvanachakravartin Rājarājadēva. This king is probably identical with Rājarāja III., who is known to have ascended the throne about A.D. 1216 and seems to have been the immediate successor of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa III.See page 43 above. In this case the week-day on which the inscription is dated will admit of astronomical calculation. The inscription records that a flight of stone steps leading to a maṇḍapa was built at the expense of two brothers.
