INSCRIPTIONS COLLECTED DURING THE YEAR 1906 JATAVARMAN VIRA PANDYA IINo. 356(A
.R. No. 356 of 1906) Tiruchirapalli District, Pudukkottai State, Kudumiyamalai. Sikhanathasvami Temple --- On The Same Wall. Jat.
Vira-Pandyadeva --- 11th Year (A.D. 1263-64). This
begins with introduction Tirumagal valar âmulai etc. It is left
incomplete. It registers a royal order issued at the request of
(Minister) Kalingarayar while the king was encamped at Karaiyur in
Konadu, making a gift of the village Melmananallur together with all its
dues and taxes like kadamai, karpura-vilai etc, to the temple of
Tirunalakkunram â udaiya â Nayanan to meet the expenses of worship
and other requirements of goddess Tirukkamakkotta-Nachchiyar who had
been consecrated, it is said, by Nachchiyar the daughter of
Durggaiyandal, evidently the same person mentioned in Nos. 352 and 353
above. No.
360 (A
.R. No. 360 of 1906) Tiruchirapalli District, Pudukkottai State, Kudumiyamalai. Sikhanathasvami
Temple --- On The South Wall Of The Second Prakara. Jat.
Virapandyadeva --- 15th Year (A. D 1267-68). The king is given the attribute âwho took ilam, Kongu and Chola mandalam and after conquering the powerful king was pleased to perform the anointment of heroes and victors at Perumbarrapuliyurâ. The inscription registers a sale, as tirunamattukkani to the temple at Tirunalakkunrum, of three veli of puravu (tax-paying?) land at Visalur by the Urar of that place, at the instance of two officers of the king (Rajagomurruvar) Vanadharayar and Gangeyar and on the intercession of the Irandukarai-nattar, for 64,000 kasu. The circum stances of the sale are given, from which it would seem that the Urar had been at default for a long period in the payment of the kadamai-kilirai and had also to account for 50,000 kasu which had evidently been deposited with them out of the amount intended for the renovation of the temple. This is probably the sale-proceeds of the transaction recorded in No. 352. A supplementary sale deed is added to this record figuring the Nattar as an agency and party for the execution of the sale.
No. 361(A.
R. No. 361 of 1906) Tiruchirapalli District, Pudukkottai State, Kudumiyamalai. Sikhanathasvami Temple --- On The Same Wall. Jat. Vira Pandyadeva --- 15th Year. The
king gets the same attributes as in No. 360 above. The inscription is
damaged. It records an agreement given by the nattar and the sthanattar
of the temple of Tirunalakkunramudaiya â Nayanar, to a certain
individual (name lost) of Visalur, who had donated three ma of
land to the temple, to the effect that they would supply 2 kalam Of
rice and other requirements of the Tiruppavadai-amudu to the god
on each of the four special festival days in the year, when the deity
was taken in procession to the temple garden. Incidental mention is made
of the conversion of a devadana land at Visalur into a tirunamattukkani
of the temple by the Nattar and Urar, on which
occasion this gift is said to have been made by the donor. No. 375(A. R. No. 375 of 1906) Tiruchirapalli District, Pudukkottai State, Kudumiyamalai. Melaikkoyil Rock-Cut Temple --- On The Side Of The Second Gopura, Left Of Entrance. This
seems to record the acknowledgement (taravu-muri) of some help
rendered by a certain Kudumiyar Udaiyapperumal of Sikaranallur in
Tenkonadu to the Urar of Pulvayal and four other villages (Pulvayal
Anjunilai) in return for which he got the accountancy of the 5 villages.
