A most interesting inscription
  • IT TALKS ABOUT CONSTRUCTION OF SRIVIMANA, THE INSTRUMENTS THAT
    ACCOMPANY THIRUPPADHIYAM SINGING, LAND DISPUTES AND SO ON

    TOO GOOD


    No. 51.

    (A.R. No. 129 of 1914.)

    Tiruverumbur, Trichinopoly Taluk, Trichinopoly District.

    On the south wall of the central shrine, Pipilikesvara temple.

    The inscription registers another sale of land, made tax-free, at
    Srikantha-chaturvedimangalam by the assembly (Perunguir-sabhai) of
    the village to Velan Viranaranan alias Sembiyan Vedivelar of
    Sirudavur who is stated to have constructed the Srivimana to (god)
    Tiruverumbiyur-Alvar. This person, after paying the cost of the land
    as well as a lump sum towards its tax-exemption, and also redeeming
    it from a certain resident of the village named Mappani Kari Nakkan
    in whose charge the land had been left by the assembly (evidently in
    mortgage), endowed the land for the maintenance of our persons who
    were to sing the Tiruppadiyam hymns to the accompaniment of udukkai
    and talam daily during the tree services in the temple. The donor is
    also said to have added to this land, another piece which had been
    the object of a boundary dispute (sima-vivadam) between the
    residents of Srikantha-chaturvedimangalam and Tiruverumbiyr, and
    which he had purchased from both the parties (See No. 50 above). The
    inscription refers to a channel dug by the donor. This is evidently
    the one mentioned in No. 50 above.
