South Indian Inscriptions


 

INSCRIPTIONS COLLECTED DURING THE YEAR 1905-1906

VIRUPAKSHA III

No. 93 (Page No 86)
(A. R. No. Of 1906)
South Arcot District, Tirukkoyilur Taluk, Jambai
Jambunatha Temple-On The Same Wall
Mahamandalamesvara Virupakshadeva-Saka 1393 (A.D. 1471). 

The details of the date are given as Nandana, Mina, ba. 9, Monday, Uttiraidan, which yield the equivalent A.D. 1473, March 22.  The saka year should be 1394.

The inscription states that as a result of the Oddiyan-galabhai in the country, the worship in the temple of Tantonri-Nayanar at Sanbai had been stopped for ten years, and the walls of the temple itself had fallen down and the precincts had been filled with sand. In the year quoted Immadi Ramappa-Nayaka Timmappa-Nayaka… a chieftain of the king seems to have revived the worship in the temple, by remitting as Sarvamanya 150 pon out of the 200 being paid as Jodi and Sulavari to the king, leaving the remaining 50 for payment as land tax in future.
