Kōvintapputtūr (Govindapputtūr), Gaṅgājaṭādhara temple, time of Parakesarivarman, year 22 author of digital edition Valérie Gillet Emmanuel Francis DHARMA Paris, CEIAS DHARMA_INSTamilNadu00511 DHARMAbase

On the lowest part of the base (jagati) of the southern façade of the ardha-maṇḍapa. Regnal year 22 of matirai koṇṭa Kōpparakesarivarman = Parāntaka I (circa 929 CE). The inscription does not begin with the expected svasti śrī. The inscription is presently not entirely legible notably because of sprayed cement. states: Gives a list of three plots of land, one of which was a gift (by purchase) by Kāḍaṉ-Mādēvaṉ of Ma[da]nakāmīśvarapuram, for providing for offerings to Vijayamaṅgalattu-Mahādēva, the other two being endowments by the assembly.

The script resembles that of inscriptions from the 11th century on this very façade, suggesting it is a copy.
