________________ Thanjavur District 427 Dynasty Pallava King Simbavarman Date 6th regnal year (556 A.D.) Sanskrit in Grantha, Tamil Language and Script Contents Records the grant of the village of Amansērkkai in Perunagarnadu in Venkunrakkottam and land in Tamar to Vajranandikkuravar of Paruttikkunu as pallichchandam. Narabbaya, the minister figures as the ajñapati of the grant. ARE, A-10/1958–59, TASSI, 1958 - 59, p. 41 ff. Reference Remarks This charter consists of two sections, one in Sanskrit verse and the other in Tamil prose. It records that the king Simhavarman (identified with Simhavişņu) granted the village Sramanaśrama to Vajranandi of Nandi Sangha at Vardhamanēs varatirtha for conducting the worship of lord Jina. The Tamil portion is addressed to the nattar of Perunagarnadu and records that the viilage Amansērkkai in Perunagarnādu as well as 16, patti of land at Tamar were granted as palsichchandam to Vajranandikkuravar. Perunagar and Tāmar (Tāmal) are places in the Kāñchipuram taluk. Amansarkkai can not be definitely identified since there are several villages with names like Amanantāngal, Ammapambākkam etc. ARE, 1958-59, pp. 3-4. This copper plate, though discovered at Pallankoil, belonged to the Jaina temple at Tirupparuttikkunju in Kanchipuram.
