SOUTH INDIAN INSCRIPTIONS VOLUME XIII INSCRIPTIONS OF RAJAKESARIVARMAN No. 251.
(A.R. No. 203 of
1926.)
Sendalai, Tanjore Taluk, Tanjore
District.
On the west wall of the central
shrine, Sundaresvara temple. This records an endowment of 6 ma
of land for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of
Tirupperundurai-Paramesvara at Chandralekai-chaturvedimangalam, a brahmadeya
in Arkkattu-kurram, and to provide for the principal offerings on the 6th
day of a festival to the god in the month of Chittirai, by Kalavana Narayana-Narayanan
of Tirumangalam a resident of the village.
This field is said to have formed part of a plot of 9 ma of land
belonging to the donor who had presented the remaining 3 ma to his
(younger) wife Srirama Nilakanti on the occasion of his marriage with
her. This is very probably an
inscription of Sundara-Chola. No. 252. (A.R. No. 188 of 1931.) Tiruchchatturai, Tanjore Taluk, Tanjore District. On the south wall of the central shrine, Odanavanesvara temple. This inscription is incised in early script with the virama marked over final consonants in a few cases, and is probably a record of Aditya I. The ends of lines are built in. It records a gift of sheep for a lamp in the temple of Tiruchchorrutturai-Mahadeva by a native of Arkattu-kurram. No. 253. (A.R. No. 300 of 1908.) Tirukkalittattai, Kumbakonam Taluk, Tanjore District. On the south wall of the central shrine, Vedapurisvara temple. This records an endowment of 25 Ilakkasu for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tirukkuduttittai-Perumal at Amaninarayana-chaturvedimangalam, a devadana-brahmadeya on the northern bank (of the Kaveri), by Vimaladevarasa Vasudevabhatta-Somayaji of Aranaippuram, and evidently of an equal amount for a second lamp by a resident of Panaiyur named Chandrasekharan Tirumoy-Adiâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦ The inscription is probably one of Sundara-Chola.
No. 254. (A.R. No. 330 of 1910.) Tirumeyjnanam, Kumbakonam Taluk, Tanjore District. On the north wall of the central shrine, Jnanaparamesvara temple. This records an agreement given by the servants of the temple of Tirumayanattu-Paramesvara at Nalur to burn 12 lamps every evening for three hours in the temple with (the interest on) 12 Ilakkasu received by them from Naranan Soladigal alias Tirunavukkaraiyan, a merchant of the place, subject to a fine in case of default. No. 255. (A.R. No. 252 of 1911.) Kumbakonam, Kumbakonam Taluk, Tanjore District. On the south wall of the central shrine, Nagesvara temple. This records the endowment of a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tirukkilkottattu-Perumanadigal at Tirukkudamukkil by a certain Kalayan Manikkam, who also presented 2 tadam (?) and one kadaram (drum). The writing looks early, and might be assigned to the period of Aditya I. No. 256. (A.R. No. 611 of 1920.) Udayargudi (near Kattumannarkoyil), Chidambaram taluk, South Arcot District. On the outer base of the south wall of the mandapa in front of the central shrine, Anantisvara temple. This is an incomplete inscription, meant to record a gift by a private individual to the temple of Tiruvanantisvarattu-Paramasvami at Viranarayana-chaturvedimangalam. This is probably assignable to Sundara-Chola. No. 257. (A.R. No. 548 of 1921.) Pullamngai (near Pasupatikoyil), Papanasam Taluk, Tanjore District. On the north wall of the central shrine, Brahmapurisvara temple. This
records a gift of 90 sheep by a certain Virasikhamani-Pa[lla]va[rai]yar
for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tiruvalandurai-
