INSCRIPTIONS COLLECTED DURING THE YEAR 1905-1906 KONERINMAIKONDAN No. 53 (Page No. 49) (A. R. No. 53 of 1906) Tanjavur District, Mayuram Taluk, Tirumayanam Brahmapurisvara Temple-On The North Wall Of The Mandapa In Front Of The General Shrine Tribh. Konerimaikondan (?)-34th Year. The
identity of the king is not clear. This records a
tax-free gift of half a veli and odd of land at
Erukkilantittai village near Akkur alias
Rajendrasinga-chaturvedimangalam, for rearing a
lotus garden for the supply of garlands to god
Tirumayanam-Udaiyar at Tirukkadavur in Akkur-nadu and
for the maintenance of the persons looking after the
garden. No. 54 (Page No. 49) (A. R. No. 54 of 1906) Tanjavur District, Mayuram Taluk, Tirumayanam Brahmapurisvara Temple-On The Same Wall
Tribh.
Konerinmaikondan? 22nd Year. This records the kingâs order to the tax-officers (Varikkuru-seyyar) communicated through the Secretary Rajendrasinga-Muvendvelan and 4 other officers, renewing the grant of a tax-free land 13 veli and odd in extent, situated in Rajadhiraja-mangalam which was a tax-free devadana and tirunamattukkani village belonging to god Tirumayanam-Udaiyar at Tirukkadavur. The land is said to have been converted into tirappu in the kingâs 4th year and hence perhaps this present order of renewal.
No. 54 (Page No. 50) (A. R. No. 54 of 1906) Tanjavur District, Mayuram Taluk, Tirumayanam Brahmapurisvara Temple-On The Same Wall Konerinmaikondan (?)-9th Year And 100th Day. This is engraved in continuation of the inscription No. 54 above, though it is evidently a separate and different record. It is dated in the 11th year and 169th day of an unspecified king, and registers a grant of land at Akkur after its Purchase by one Villavarayar of Perunallur for 10127 kasu, for the merit of the reigning king, to provide for the maintenance of persons who were to recite the Vedas and the Sri-Rudram in the temple of Tirumayanam-Udaiyar at Tirukkadavur, the exact significance of the term veda vinai is not understood. Perhaps the chanting of the Vedas was accompanied with the music o the vina. Mention is made of two villages Tiruttondattugai-mangalam and Sivapadasekhara-mangalam. No. 55 (Page No. 51) (A. R. No. 55 of 1906) Tanjavur District, Mayuram Taluk, Tirumayanam Brahmapurisvara Temple-On The Same Wall Konerinmaikondan (?)-9th Year And 100th Day. This seems to register the grant of 2 pieces of land, one at Virasolanallur and the other at Virudarajabhayankaranallur and measuring together 23 ½ [veli] in extent, to the temple of Tirumaiyanamudaiyar at Tirukkadavur, by order of the king. Mention is made of a flower garden called the âRajadhirajan tirunandavanam âwhich was to be formed out of one of these lands after its reclamation from sandy mounds. The record is left incomplete towards the end. A land settlement made in the 16th year of Kulottunga-Chola is referred to in the inscription. |
