South Indian Inscriptions


 

INSCRIPTIONS COLLECTED DURING THE YEAR 1905-1906

RAJADHIRAJA I

No. 81 (Page No 76)
(A. R. No. 81 of 1906)
South Arcot District, Tirukkoyilur Taluk, Jambai
Jambunatha Temple-On The Same Wall
Raj. Rajadhiraja I – 32nd Year (A.D. 1049-50)

This has a long introduction beginning with the expression Tingalertaru Etc. The record is mutilated and incomplete towards the end.  It registers an agreement by the Sankarappadi Nagarattar of Valaiyur in Vanagoppadi Purvadesam to burn a perpetual lamp in the temple for the 20 kasu received by them from one Venkadan Narendrachulamani of Nallavur in Pamburnadu a division of Uyyakkondarvalandu. 

No. 213 (Page No 167)
(A. R. No. 213 of 1906)
South Arcot District, Tirukkoyilur Taluk, Perangiyur.
Ruined Siva Temple – On The Same Wall.
Raj. Rajadhirajadeva – Date Lost.

This consists of twenty disjointed fragmentary pieces uniting (probably of more than one inscription). The introduction is that of Rajadhiraja I beginning with the expressions Tingaler taru etc. The inscription seems to record a gift of money by a private individual for burning a lamp in the temple of Mulasthanam-udaiyar, and the purchase of some land tax-free with that amount (by the temple) from the assembly of the place. 

No.233 (Page No 181)

(A. R. No. 233 of 1906)

North Arcot District, Cheyyar Taluk, Tirupanangadu.

Siva Temple – On The North Wall Of The Talapurisvara Shrine.

Rajadhiraja I – 3[2] nd Year (A.D. 1049-50)

The inscription begins with introduction Tingaler taru etc.  It registers a sale of land free of all taxes as devadana-iraiyili to the temple of Tiruppananga-dudaiyar at Vanpakkam in Kaliyurkottam by the assembly of Vallur in Kayiram-pedu nadu in the same kottam said to be a division of Jayangondasola-mandalam. The details of the transaction are lost in the damaged portion of the record. The cost of the land was probably collectively paid by some persons named in the inscription, as endowment for meeting the expenses of worship in the temple, and for feeding daily four Sivayogins and tapasvins.
