History of the Pallavas of Kanchi c16.54

c16.54

²⁷⁶ This inscription is dated in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Rājakēsarivarman and records that at the request of a certain Puttan a grant which had been made by Skandaśishya and confirmed by Vātāpikonda-Narasingapōtarayar was renewed. The gift was originally made to the Mūlasthānattu-Perumān, which has not been identified. Both the kings are spoken of as former kings. On paleographical grounds the grant may be dated in the ninth century A.D. Tirukkaḷukkuṉṟam is spoken of as being in the Kaḷattūrkoṭṭam. Skandaśishya may be Skandavarman and Vātāpikonda-Narasingapōtarayar is Narasimhavarman I.
