temple of Adittavisvaram-Udaiya-Bhattarakar at Kurur in
Tirunaraiyur-nadu, by one Astra-Siva who deposited the money with the tiruvunnaligai-perumakkal
of the temple. The name
of the temple suggests its origin to king Aditya I. The inscription may be one of Paranta I or
Uttama-Chola.
No.
233
(A.R.
No. 591 of 1920)
Udayarkudi
near Kattumannarkoyil, Chidambaram Taluk, South Arcot District

No. 368 of 1921)
Tiruvadi,
Cuddalore Taluk, South Arcot District
On
a pillar in the Ardha-mandapa, Tiruvirattanesvara temple
This
is damaged in the middle portion. It
seems to record some endowment (in money) by one Padipperaiyanfor
the supply of ghee to the temple of Tiruvirattanam at Adhirajamangalyapuram,
and with it also to six other sacred shrines viz. Tiruvaranavasi,
Tirunagisvaram,, Tiruvagattisvaram, Tiruvagnisvaram, Tiruvidainalal and
Tiruppalanam, for the performance of panchagavga ceremony
and for offerning to the deities on the first day of every month, and
(also) for special sribali offerings on the days of the
Tiruvadirai asterism. The
gift was left in charge of the Nagarattar who held themselves
responsible for conducting the worship

Tiruchchelur-Alvar at Rajakesari-chaturvedimangalam to provide for the
sacred bath of the god with 108 pots of water on all days of sankranti,
for offerings and a pair of clothes for the deity and for the
remuneration of the nambi (priest) who performed worship in the
temple. The names of the villages and channels occurring in the
record such as Naratonga, Srikanttha, Solachulamani etc.
are suggestive of the surnames of the king’s predecessors.

(A.R.
No. 260 of 1923)
On
the south wall of the same shrine
This
records a gift of two silver vessels, a plate and a salver for holding

(the income from) which was allotted in certain proportions for the
several requirements of worship in the temple of Tiruvalandurai-kahadeva

No. 152 of 1928)
Tiruppalanam,
Tanjavur Taluk, Tanjavur District
On
the west wall of the central shrine, Apatsahyesvara temple
The
portion containing the king’s name is damaged.
This is probably an inscription of Parakesarivarman.

Desappu[ga*]1 the queen of (the Pandya) Parantakan Manabaranar, who
left 22 ½ kalanju of the gift with the patipadamaulattarof

No. 170 of 1904)
Tiruvakkarai,
Villupuram Taluk, South Arcot District
At
the northern Entrance of the first prakara of the Chandramaulisvara
temple
This
inscription records the decision of the perunguri-perumakkal (assembly)
of Tribhuvanamahadevi-chaturvedimangalam, granting (assembly) of
Tribhuvanamahadevi-chaturvedimangalam, granting 4 veli of land
with a big well in it, a dry filed and also some other land irrigated by
the tank at Tiruvakkarai, for the expenses of worship and offerings to
the gods Karrali-Paramasvami and Vishnu=Bhattaraka in the temple of that
village; and also the appointment of 4 persons for performing worship
therein and four others for music during the sribali service,
with provision made for their maintenance with the land gift got at the village
Aliyur. The main
village was evidently called after Tribhuvanamahadevi the queen of
Parantaka I. This may
be a record of the reign of Uttma-chola.
No.
241
(A.R.
No. 321 of 1904)
Kudumiyamalai,
Pudukkottai State
On
the north face of the north pillar of the rock-cut shrine, Melaikkoyil
temple

burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Tirumulattanattu-Perumanadigal
at Tirunalakkurram in Kunniyurnadu by Nangai-Na[la]deviyar wife of
Sembiyan Irukkuvelar. The
latter is evidently identical with the Kodumbalur chief Pudi (Bhuti)
Parantaka son of Bhuti Vikramakesari, who under king Aditya Karikala
overcame Vira-Pandya (vide M.E.R for 1908, paras. 88 and
91 S.I.I Vol. III, No. 139).

No. 407 of 1905)
Kaverippakkam,
Arkonam Taluk, North Arcot District
On
a stone built into the bund of the tank

is a fragment of an inscription, probably meant to record a tax-free
gift of land to the temple of Tiruvakkisvara (Tiruvagnisvara), left in
charge of the tank-supervision committee (of the village
assembly).
No.

Kudumiyamalai,

On
the south wall of the second prakara, Sikhanathasvami temple

It records a deposit of 7 ½ kalanju of gold by the temple
with some specified persons who agreed to supply ghee for each month’s
requirement of a lamp in the temple of Tirunalakkunrattu-Mahadeva.

records a gift of 90 sheep for a perpetual lamp in the temple to be

No.
245
(A.R.
No. 26 of 1907)
On
the same wall
The
writing of this inscription seems to indicate the same period as the
above. This records a
similar gift of sheep for a lamp in the same temple by Kulichchani
wife of Indamukki-Kovadi-Kramavittar a member of the alviganasa of
the village. The Perunaguri-perumakkal
were to protect this gift.
No.
246
(A.R.
No. 30 of 1907)
On
the same wall
This
is built in at the beginning of each line.
This also like the two inscriptions above seem to be assignable
to Parantaka I, as the writing resembles that of No. 29 of 1907
which is a clear record of his. It
records a gift of 93 sheep for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple
No.
247
(A.R.
No. 36 of 1907)
On
the same wall
This
is also an inscription assignable to Paranataka I because of the
writing. Like the above
this also records a gift of 93 sheep for a perpetual lamp in the temple
of Tiruvisalur-Perumanadigal, by Injan Tiruvisaluran of
Sankarappadi.

be supplied every day for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple.

of the inscription is comparatively late pointing to the reign of Rejendra-Chola
I.

records a gift of sheep for a perpetual lamp in the temple (Tirumuttirukkoyil)

in Poyyil-kurram. The early writing seems to point to the reign of Parantaka
