South Indian Inscriptions


 

INSCRIPTIONS COLLECTED DURING THE YEAR 1905-1906

SADASIVA MAHARAYA

No.66 (Page No 62)

(A. R. No. 66 of 1906)

South Arcot District, Kallakkurichchi Taluk, Tiruvarangam

Ranganatha Temple-On The Right And Left Walls Of The Entrance

Sadasivadeva-Saka 1480 (A.D. 1557).

The details of date are given as Pingala, Kanni, su. 2, Revati, Friday, which yielf the equivalent A.D. 1557, September 10. but the tithi was ba.2.  The record sates that on this day Mahamandalesvara Obaladeva-Maharaja, son of Konetayya-mharaja and grandson of Ramaraja Kondudeva-Maharaja of the Atreya-gotra, Yajus-sakha and Apastamba-sutta who had the Nayakattanam of Magadaimandalam conferred on him by the king, granted the income from three villages Eduttavanallur, madampundi and periya-pavandain Mudiyannur-parru for the several requirements of daily worship and offerings, and for the special festival occasions to god Ranganatha at Uttara-Tiruvrangam in the same parru (division). On the representation of one Tirumalainambi Sri ramayyangar to the chief, that the grant did not cover the full expenses incurred in the temple, the latter is said to have made an additional gift of the income from Padiyendal. Mudiyanur-parru is stated to be situated in magadaimandalam. It is also stated that it was situated in Tiruvadi-aiyam in magadaimandalam. Hence it seems likely that Tiruvadi-raiyam was a major division, the same as Meygunra-valnadu. 

No 88 (Page No 82)

(A. R. No. 88 of 1906)

South Arcot District, Tirukkoyilur Taluk, Jambai

Jambunatha Temple-On The Same Wall

‘Mahamandalesvara’ Sadasiva-Maharaja

Ananda (Saka 1477=A.D. 1155). 

This seems to record the gift of a house in the Nadutteru to the temple of tantonri-Aludaiyanayinar and some land to provide for offerings when the deity was taken in procession to this place.  This service was probably entrusted to one unnamullai-Nayinar Ellappar.

Sadasivadeva-Maharaya-Saka [1471]. 

The date is given as Saumya, Tula su. 10, Rohini, Monday corresponding Probably to A.D. 1549, October 30.  It was Wednesday and Satabhishak on this date.

This records an endowment of the village Suttamalligai with all its wet and dry lands in Meykunrada-valanadu alias Narippalii-nadu in Magadai-Mandalan on the southern bank of the Pennai, by Ramappa-Nayakar (son of?) Adappam surappa-Krishnama-Nayakar for the merit of the king, for burning 30 lamps during the services every day in the shrine of Alagiya-Nachchiyar in the temple of Tantonri-Aludaiyanayinar at Sanbai.

Jambunatha Temple-On The Same Gopura Left Of Entrance

The inscription is damaged and incomplete.  It seems to record a gift of land to the temple of Senbainatha by a certain Viramarasayyan.
