South Indian Inscriptions 


 

Tiruvarur Temple Inscriptions

No. 156

(A. R. No. 472 of 1904)

Vedaranyam, Tirutturaipundi Taluk, Tanjavur District

On a pillar in the mandapa in front of the Tyagaraja shrine, Vedarayesvara temple

This is damaged inscription recording a gift of 90 sheep for burning a perpetual lamp in the temple of Mahadeva at Tirumaraikkadu by Tiru-Orriyur-Nakka[n], (a servant) of the temple at Tiruvarur 

No. 158

(A. R. No. 574 of 1904)

Tiruvarur, Nagapattanam Taluk, Tanjavur District

On the west wall of the mandapa in front of the Achalesvara shrine, Tyagarajasvami temple

This records an endowment of 30 kalanju of gold left with the Nagarattar of Tiruvarur by Devan Arubattunalvan for burning a perpetual lamp before god Tiruvaraneri-Mahdeva-Bhattaraka with the daily supply of an ulakku of ghee by the measure Tirunilakantan. The person on whose behalf the gift was made seems to have been known as Kalavan Porundampondai-tirumulattanat-Tondar, probably implying that he was a spiritual teacher of the donor. The writing seems to be late and the inscription may be assigned to Rajedradeva or Vikrama-Chola.
