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", "author", "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.
Note the use of quotation marks: the query editor:"emmanuel francis" matches all documents edited by Emmanuel Francis, but the query editor:emmanuel francis matches all documents edited by someone called Emmanuel and that also include the name Francis in any metadata field.
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: This inscription in 6 Sanskrit verses in elaborate metres begins (stanza 1) with praise of a deity, perhaps Brahmā, then (stanza 2) praises of a king, whose name is lost to damage, then (stanza 3) further praise of the king in which he is likened to an avatāra of Viṣṇu, then (stanza 4) what may be still further praise of the king likening him to Hanumān (?), then (stanza 5) praise of a city whose name is not Sanskritic. That city may be either compared with Hastināpurī and Dvāravatī, or it stands at the head of a list in which Hastināpurī and Dvāravatī are also included. The final stanza (6) enumerates the gifts of gold, cattle, lands and slaves that the king gave to Paśupati (presumably there was a śiva-liṅga at this place).

Summary: Face A contains seven Sanskrit stanzas in anuṣṭubh meter. The first is an invocation to the Buddha. Stanzas II and III praise the fieriness and righteousness of the ruling king Jayavarman I. The raison d’être of the inscription is mentioned in stanzas IV and V: these constitute an edict of King Jayavarman I concerning a monastery called Candana “sandalwood” (candana-vihāra) and they decree the use of funds (not given by the king) for the annual procession of the image of the Buddha on the full moon day of the month of Vaiśākha (April-May). Stanzas VI and VII stipulate that the slaves, cows, buffaloes, gardens, fields, servants, etc., given to the Buddha are not to be stolen and are under the protection of the Governor of Tamandarapura. Face B is a fourteen-line text in Old Khmer. It echoes the Sanskrit text in what is said about the annual procession of the Buddha’s statue of Candana Monastery on the full moon day of Vaiśākha as an order of King Jayavarman I. It also provides details of the management of the wealth of the monastery including servants, slaves, cows, buffaloes etc. The last two lines warn that those who flout the order of the king shall be punished.

Summary: The inscription praises a courtier whose name is not likely to be mentioned in the readable portion of the inscription. He seems to be previously a priest at the temple Śrī Śikharīśvara (Preah Vihear) and head of his own corporation or clerical order (ātmavarṇṇa) called Amara before serving the king (who is probably to be identified as Sūryavarman I). By his expertise in Vedic and Āgamic rituals, he was appointed by the king as chief of sacrificial hall of fire and chief of royal priests. He was a devout worshiper of God Śiva. Out of devotion, he installed statues in four sacred sites beginning with Śrī Śikharīśvara (Preah Vihear). At the temple Śrī Śikharīśvara, he installed golden images of Nandin and Mahākāla along with villages, servants and lands. At other temples made of stone and brick beginning with Parameśvara (Preah Ko), he installed various śivaliṅgas and gods’ images. Furthermore, he installed many metal and gold images of gods and liṅgas at temples such as Phalapriya and resided at religious places like Bhadreśvara (Vat Phu). There, he conducted many rites (pūjā) for Śiva and offered paraphernalia such as palanquins, parasols and other ornaments, together with grains, servants, cows, buffaloes, horses, elephants, cattle and lands. He made many considerable water bodies flowing into channels running through places where there were roads and made gardens along the roads with plenty of fruits and shade. He belonged perhaps to a family of five brothers; he, being the youngest, yet the most skillful and glorious. He was comparable to Arjuna, supposedly the best among the five Pāṇḍava brothers in the Mahābhārata. It is probable that he was appointed as a teacher at the temple Śrī Śikharīśvara, possibly a chief of court of justice and later, a chief of a district (viṣaya). The king married his daughter to him, the highest of royal favours.
