ŚRĪRAṄGAM, TRICHINOPOLY TALUK, TRICHINOPOLY DISTRICT
Inner jamb of the Nānmugan-gōpura, right of entrance
Dēvarāya II
This undated record of Dēvarāya-Mahārāya is in Kannaḍa language
engraved in Grantha characters. It registers a royal order (nirūpa) to
Chauḍappa, the executive officer of Tiruchirāpaḷḷi, to restore to
Uttamanambi, the sthānika of Śrīraṅgam, on a representation made by
the latter, certain concessions granted to the sthānikas of the place
during the time of Hiriya-Śiruparasa, and, in additions, to grant him
the village Nōchchagarichi (Nochchikurichchi) along with some additional
lands in another village as sarvamānya to be enjoyed by him in the
same manner as it was being enjoyed in the days of Hiriya Dēvarāya
Mahārāya and Vijayarāya Mahārāya. The order further enjoins the
pārupatya to execute all the directions pertaining to the temple made
by Uttamanambi. The present gift of lands was to be added on to an
earliest royal gift of villages yielding 300 honuu made on the occasion
of presenting golden horses and chariot (to the god). In recognition of
his long service Uttamanambi is said to have been honoured by the
king with bracelet, gold necklace and golden pinnacles (kaḷśa) to his
house.
This is published in S. I. I. Vol. xxiv, No. 310.
