This charter of the illustrious Tīvaradeva the king of Kosala, which is for the sake of an increase of dharma, endures as long as the moon and stars.

Plates

Success!

1v1–1v2

Victorious is the illustrious Tīvaradeva, who is the ornament of the three worlds (heaven, earth, lower world); a pillar of happiness in the palace of the [Pāṇḍava] kings; and foremost of those who perform meritorious deeds!

(1v2–2r10) Hail! From Śrīpura, the illustrious Mahāśiva Tīvararāja—who illuminates the neighbouring regions with his mirror-like toe-nails, which are polished by the curved edges of the diadems of the many [feudatory] kings who salute [him], having obtained the [privilege of] the five great sounds; whose fingers bluntly seize the good Fortune of adversary kings by her locks of her hair in public; by whom the battlefields are adorned with a scattered heap of pearls, which are the thick [drops of] blood continuously oozing from the domed foreheads of the elephants of [his] enemies, struck down by the hard strokes of [his] sharp sword; who is a submarine fire to the salt water of [his] enemies, gaping with the desire of acquiring a multitude of various gems; who does not cause distress by [levying heavy] taxes, just as the rising moon does not cause distress by [its] rays; who, like the ocean of milk, demonstrates a wealth of many most excellent jewels; who, like Garutmat, is competent in uprooting serpents (i.e., evil); who ruined the black collyrium [applied to] the eyes and the [golden glow of grinded] saffron petals on the tender cheeks of the [widowed] wives of his enemies, afflicted [by grief]; whose mind is focused solely on the protection and establishment of virtuous behavior. Moreover, who is worshipped by people without relunctance because of the religious austerities [he performed] in a previous [birth]; who is not easily satisfied in [acquiring] fame; who is trustworthy in keeping secrets; whose mind is very pure; whose eyes are bright; and whose body is adorned with youth; who, though being a commander, does not [indulge in] excessive talking; who, though desirous for conquering land, is excessively liberal [in the granting of land]; who, though fierce to the race of his adversaries (i.e., like the sun), is gentle in appearance (i.e., like the moon); who, though adorned with majesty, is not harsh in disposition. Furthermore, who is never satisfied in generating religious merit, [but] not in accumulating wealth; who is devoid of anger, [but] not of power; who is longing for fame, [but] not for appropriating the wealth of others; who is skillful in eloquent speech, [but] not in consorting with promiscuous women; who has consumed the race of his adversaries completely, as a heap of cotton, with the fire of his splendor; who illuminated the earth as far as the horizon with his massive fame as bright white as the rocky mountain of snow (i.e., Himālaya); who was the son of the illustrious Nannadeva, son of the illustrious Indrabala, and who has obtained sovereignty over the whole of Kosala; who reduced all misfortune in the world with his meritorious acts; who has removed all thorns (i.e., annoying enemies) with the needle of his wisdom; who is entirely devoted to Viṣṇu; and who is favoured by his father and mother—issues [the following command] to the residents of [the villages of] Bondaka and Avaḍika in the Piharāja bhukti:

(2r10–2v10) Let it be known to you that, preceded by a libation of water, this village has been granted by us for the increase of religious merit of father, mother, and ourselves to (a group of) twenty-five caraka-adhvaryu priests, of which five are belonging to the Sāmaveda (Chandoga): Gopendrasvāmin, as well as Vāmanasvāmin, Somasvāmin, Yajñasvāmin, and Unnatameghasvāmin; and twenty are belonging to the Yajurveda (Maitrāyaṇīya): bhaṭṭa Madhusūdanopāddhyāya, Trivikramopādhyāya, Devasomopādhyāya, Svāmidattopādhyāya, Viṣṇughoṣopādhyāya, Sthāvaropādhyāya, bhaṭṭa Kamalasvāmin, bhaṭṭa Ravināgasvāmin, Śambhubhavasvāmin, Bandhudeva, Yoraṅgaviṣṇubhavasvāmin, Lāṭaphalihasvāmin, Aaśokasvāmin, Śrīdharabhūtisvāmin, Śīlapakṣasvāmin, Sāppūpakṣasvāmin, Vāmanasvāmin, Nāgaśarmmasvāmin, Golacandrasvāmin, and Bhadrasvāmin. [The grant of the village] is to be enjoyed as long as the world will endure, [the world] of which the darkness of the night is removed by the rays of the sun, moon and stars; [comes along with the right to] hidden treasures and deposits; is not to be entered by irregular or regular troops; comes along [with the right to] all taxes [payable to the king]; comes along with the right to punish and realise fines for the ten offences; and comes along with the enjoyment of the inheritance of men who die without male offspring.

(2v10–3r2) Having taken note of that, you should render the [proper shares of] periodical offerings and produce, while living happily [in this village]. And this is said for the instruction of the future kings:

3r2–3r4

[Kings] who donate land sport in heaven, [but] look, kings who have taken land fall into hell for their wickedness. After having taken to heart these two rules and taken hold of Lakṣmī, you should live you life as you wish!

And also:

3r4–3r5

Fortune and misfortune are truly the fruit of protecting and not protecting [the land]; who then discards heaven and resorts to hell?

(3r5) And they quote the [following] stanzas sung by Vyāsa:

3r5–3r7

Gold is the first child of Agni, land is born of Viṣṇu, and cows are the offspring of Sūrya: [Therefore], whoever would give gold, a cow, and land would give the three worlds

3r7

A giver of land rejoices in heaven for sixty thousand years; he who confiscates it or allows [another to confiscate it] will dwell for the same period in hell!

3r7–3r8

The earth has been granted by many kings, beginning with Sagara; whoever possesses the land at any time, to him belong the fruits at that time!

3r8–3r9

O Yudhiṣṭhira, zealously protect the land which was given by yourself or by others! O best of kings, protection is superior to giving!

(3r9–3r10) [The copperplate charter has been engraved on] the day 1 [of] the month of Mārga [in] the increasingly victorious year 5 [of Tīvaradeva’s reign].

<p n="1v2-2r10">Hail! From Śrīpura, the illustrious Mahāśiva Tīvararāja—who illuminates the neighbouring regions with his mirror-like toe-nails, which are polished by the curved edges of the diadems of the many <supplied reason="subaudible">feudatory</supplied> kings who salute <supplied reason="subaudible">him</supplied>, having obtained the <supplied reason="subaudible">privilege of</supplied> the five great sounds; whose fingers bluntly seize the good Fortune of adversary kings by her locks of her hair in public; by whom the battlefields are adorned with a scattered heap of pearls, which are the thick <supplied reason="subaudible">drops of</supplied> blood continuously oozing from the domed foreheads of the elephants of <supplied reason="subaudible">his</supplied> enemies, struck down by the hard strokes of <supplied reason="subaudible">his</supplied> sharp sword; who is a submarine fire to the salt water of <supplied reason="subaudible">his</supplied> enemies, gaping with the desire of acquiring a multitude of various gems; who does not cause distress by <supplied reason="subaudible">levying heavy</supplied> taxes, just as the rising moon does not cause distress by <supplied reason="subaudible">its</supplied> rays; who, like the ocean of milk, demonstrates a wealth of many most excellent jewels; who, like Garutmat, is competent in uprooting serpents <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., evil</supplied>; who ruined the black collyrium <supplied reason="subaudible">applied to</supplied> the eyes and the <supplied reason="subaudible">golden glow of grinded</supplied> saffron petals on the tender cheeks of the <supplied reason="subaudible">widowed</supplied> wives of his enemies, afflicted <supplied reason="subaudible">by grief</supplied>; whose mind is focused solely on the protection and establishment of virtuous behavior. Moreover, who is worshipped by people without relunctance because of the religious austerities <supplied reason="subaudible">he performed</supplied> in a previous <supplied reason="subaudible">birth</supplied>; who is not easily satisfied in <supplied reason="subaudible">acquiring</supplied> fame; who is trustworthy in keeping secrets; whose mind is very pure; whose eyes are bright; and whose body is adorned with youth; who, though being a commander, does not <supplied reason="subaudible">indulge in</supplied> excessive talking; who, though desirous for conquering land, is excessively liberal <supplied reason="subaudible">in the granting of land</supplied>; who, though fierce to the race of his adversaries <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., like the sun</supplied>, is gentle in appearance <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., like the moon</supplied>; who, though adorned with majesty, is not harsh in disposition. Furthermore, who is never satisfied in generating religious merit, <supplied reason="subaudible">but</supplied> not in accumulating wealth; who is devoid of anger, <supplied reason="subaudible">but</supplied> not of power; who is longing for fame, <supplied reason="subaudible">but</supplied> not for appropriating the wealth of others; who is skillful in eloquent speech, <supplied reason="subaudible">but</supplied> not in consorting with promiscuous women; who has consumed the race of his adversaries completely, as a heap of cotton, with the fire of his splendor; who illuminated the earth as far as the horizon with his massive fame as bright white as the rocky mountain of snow <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., Himālaya</supplied>; who was the son of the illustrious Nannadeva, son of the illustrious Indrabala, and who has obtained sovereignty over the whole of Kosala; who reduced all misfortune in the world with his meritorious acts; who has removed all thorns <supplied reason="explanation">i.e., annoying enemies</supplied> with the needle of his wisdom; who is entirely devoted to Viṣṇu; and who is favoured by his father and mother—issues <supplied reason="subaudible">the following command</supplied> to the residents of <supplied reason="subaudible">the villages of</supplied> Bondaka and Avaḍika in the Piharāja <foreign>bhukti</foreign>:</p>

<p n="2r10-2v10">Let it be known to you that, preceded by a libation of water, this village has been granted by us for the increase of religious merit of father, mother, and ourselves to (a group of) twenty-five <foreign>caraka-adhvaryu</foreign> priests, of which five are belonging to the Sāmaveda (Chandoga): Gopendrasvāmin, as well as Vāmanasvāmin, Somasvāmin, Yajñasvāmin, and Unnatameghasvāmin; and twenty are belonging to the Yajurveda (Maitrāyaṇīya): <foreign>bhaṭṭa</foreign> Madhusūdanopāddhyāya, Trivikramopādhyāya, Devasomopādhyāya, Svāmidattopādhyāya, Viṣṇughoṣopādhyāya, Sthāvaropādhyāya, <foreign>bhaṭṭa</foreign> Kamalasvāmin, <foreign>bhaṭṭa</foreign> Ravināgasvāmin, Śambhubhavasvāmin, Bandhudeva, Yoraṅgaviṣṇubhavasvāmin, Lāṭaphalihasvāmin, Aaśokasvāmin, Śrīdharabhūtisvāmin, Śīlapakṣasvāmin, Sāppūpakṣasvāmin, Vāmanasvāmin, Nāgaśarmmasvāmin, Golacandrasvāmin, and Bhadrasvāmin. <supplied reason="subaudible">The grant of the village</supplied> is to be enjoyed as long as the world will endure, <supplied reason="subaudible">the world</supplied> of which the darkness of the night is removed by the rays of the sun, moon and stars; <supplied reason="subaudible">comes along with the right to</supplied> hidden treasures and deposits; is not to be entered by irregular or regular troops; comes along <supplied reason="subaudible">with the right to</supplied> all taxes <supplied reason="subaudible">payable to the king</supplied>; comes along with the right to punish and realise fines for the ten offences; and comes along with the enjoyment of the inheritance of men who die without male offspring.</p>

<p n="2v10-3r2">Having taken note of that, you should render the <supplied reason="subaudible">proper shares of</supplied> periodical offerings and produce, while living happily <supplied reason="subaudible">in this village</supplied>. And this is said for the instruction of the future kings:</p>

<p n="3r2-3r4" rend="stanza"><supplied reason="subaudible">Kings</supplied> who donate land sport in heaven, <supplied reason="subaudible">but</supplied> look, kings who have taken land fall into hell for their wickedness. After having taken to heart these two rules and taken hold of Lakṣmī, you should live you life as you wish!</p>

<p n="3r4-3r5" rend="stanza">Fortune and misfortune are truly the fruit of protecting and not protecting <supplied reason="subaudible">the land</supplied>; who then discards heaven and resorts to hell?</p>

<p n="3r5">And they quote the <supplied reason="subaudible">following</supplied> stanzas sung by Vyāsa:</p>

<p n="3r5-3r7" rend="stanza">Gold is the first child of Agni, land is born of Viṣṇu, and cows are the offspring of Sūrya: <supplied reason="subaudible">Therefore</supplied>, whoever would give gold, a cow, and land would give the three worlds</p>

<p n="3r7" rend="stanza">A giver of land rejoices in heaven for sixty thousand years; he who confiscates it or allows <supplied reason="subaudible">another to confiscate it</supplied> will dwell for the same period in hell!</p>

<p n="3r7-3r8" rend="stanza">The earth has been granted by many kings, beginning with Sagara; whoever possesses the land at any time, to him belong the fruits at that time!</p>

<p n="3r8-3r9" rend="stanza">O Yudhiṣṭhira, zealously protect the land which was given by yourself or by others! O best of kings, protection is superior to giving!</p>

<p n="3r9-3r10"><supplied reason="subaudible">The copperplate charter has been engraved on</supplied> the day 1 <supplied reason="subaudible">of</supplied> the month of Mārga <supplied reason="subaudible">in</supplied> the increasingly victorious year 5 <supplied reason="subaudible">of Tīvaradeva’s reign</supplied>.</p></div></div>
