Tirukkōṭikkāval, Tirukkōṭīśvara temple, time of Māṟaṉ Caṭaiyaṉ, year 5 author of digital edition Valérie Gillet Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSPandya00268 DHARMAbase

Tirukkōṭīśvara temple, Tirukkōṭikkāval, Tiruviṭaimarutūr taluk, Tañcāvūr district. On the western wall of the sanctuary. This inscription is neither prefaced nor concluded with the formula stating that it is a copy. It is located on the plain wall and not on the base as the others prior to Uttamacōḻa period. The script looks slightly different, perhaps older.
