<doc><h1>INSCRIPTIONS OF THE TANJAVUR TEMPLE.<pb n="2:1"/></h1>

<h1>INSCRIPTIONS ON THE WALLS OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE.</h1>

<h3>No. 1. ON THE NORTH AND WEST WALLS, UPPER TIER.</h3>

This inscription consists of nine sections engraved on the north wall and four sections<lb/>on

the west wall of the central shrine. It opens with a Sanskrit ślōka, according to

which<lb/>it is an edict of Rājarāja, (alias) Rājakēsarivarman. The

remainder of the inscription,<lb/>like all the other Tañjāvūr inscriptions, is written

in Tamil.

After the list of conquests, which is found at the beginning of many inscriptions of

the<lb/>Chōḷa king Rājarāja, paragraph 2 contains the date, after which this

and all the other<lb/>Tañjāvūr inscriptions were incised. On the 20th day of the 26th

year of his reign,<lb/>Kō-Rājakēsarivarman, alias Rājarājadēva,

issued orders, that the gifts made by<lb/>himself, those made by his elder sister (viz.,

Kundavaiyār), those made by his wives, and<lb/>those made by other donors should be engraved on

the stone walls of the temple. A second<lb/>important fact, which we learn from paragraph 2, is,

that the Tañjāvūr temple had<lb/>been built by Rājarājadēva himself, and

that it was called after him Rājarājēśvara,<lb/>i.e., the Īśvara

(temple) of Rājarāja.

Paragraphs 3 to 107 contain a list of gold images, vessels and ornaments, which the<lb/>king

himself presented to the temple of Rājarājēśvara (paragraphs 3 to 98) and to

the<lb/>image of Dakshiṇa-Mēru-Viṭaṅkar (paragraphs 99 to 107) on the following

dates:——

<hi>Paragraphs 3 and 4: 25th year, 312th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 5 to 9: 26th year, 14th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 10 to 16: 26th year, 27th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 17: 26th year, 34th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 18: 25th year, 275th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 19 to 32: 26th year, 104th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 33: 26th year, 318th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 34 to 50: 26th year, 319th day.</hi>

<hi>Paragraphs 51 to 107: 23rd to 29th year.</hi>

The last set of paragraphs (51 to 107) was incised at a later date than the preceding<lb/>part

of the inscription, to which it refers as previously engraved (paragraph 51).

Part of the gifts, which the king made between his 23rd and 29th year, were taken<lb/>from the

treasures, which he seized after having defeated the Chēra king and the

Pāṇḍyas<pb n="2:2"/><lb/>in Malaināḍu<ref t="2:2-1"/> (paragraphs 34, 51, 52

and 107). A number of gold trumpets were<lb/>presented to the temple, after he had assumed the

titles of Śivapādaśēkhara, ‘the devotee<lb/>of Śiva,’ and of Rājarāja,

‘the king of kings’ (paragraph 55), and a number of gold<lb/>flowers, after he had returned from

the conquest of Satyāśraya (paragraph 92).

Each of the gifts is stated to have been weighed by ‘the stone called (after)

Āḍa-<lb break="no"/>vallāṉ.’ This was evidently a standard weight for gold, or a set

of such weights, made<lb/>of stone and preserved at the shrine of the god Āḍavallāṉ or

Āḍavallār, who was also<lb/>called Dakshiṇa-Mēru-Viṭaṅkar.<ref t="2:2-2"/>
