Texts
Texts database last updated .
This interface allows you to look for texts in the DHARMA collection. The search form below can be used for filtering results. Matching is case-insensitive, does not take diacritics into account, and looks for substrings instead of terms. For instance, the query edit matches "edition" or "meditation". To look for a phrase, surround it with double quotes, as in "old javanese". Searching for strings that contain less than three characters is not possible.
Per default, all metadata fields are searched (except "lang", see below). Metadata fields are (for now): "title", "editor", "editor_id", "summary", "lang", "repo", "ident". You can restrict search to a specific field by using a field prefix, as in editor:manu or title:"critical edition". Several clauses can be added successively, separated with whitespace. In this case, for a document to be considered a match, all query clauses must match. Try for instance editor:manu title:stone.
The "lang" field is special. If you look for a string that contains two or three letters only, as in lang:en or lang:san, it is assumed to refer to an ISO 639 language code, and an exact comparison is performed. If you look for a string longer than that, it is assumed to refer to a language name and the above-mentioned substring matching technique will be used instead. You can consult a table of languages here.

Summary: Commemoration of a tiruppaṇi ("glorious temple service") by the ascetic Guṇasāgara, disciple of the master Jinasena of the Sena congregation, in Tirumayilāpuri. It is not clear if the inscribed bronze is the tiruppaṇi itself (in which case the record is about the donation / installation of this bronze image) or if the tiruppaṇi was performed in respect of this preexisting bronze image. It is neither clear if Tirumayilāpuri is just the seat of the Sena congregation or also the place of installation of the bronze image.
