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", "script", "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: King: ⎯⎯ Year: 11th century A.D.
This inscription contains two portions i.e., Sanskrit and Tamil.
The first portion eulogises the nānādēśi guild of merchants and states that they were praised by 500 vīra-śāsanas, glorifying their deeds, i.e. were virtuous protectors of the vīra-vaḷañjika. It further states that they were born of Vāśudēva, Kaṇḍaḻi and Vīrabhadra, were the devotees of Bhaṭṭāraki and consisted of various sub-divisions, coming from the 1000 [districts] of the four quarters, the 18 towns, the 32 Veḷapuram and the 64 ghaṭika-sthāna ie, seṭṭis, seṭṭiputras, kavares, kaṇḍaḻis, bhadrakas, gāvuṇḍa-svamins, śiṅgam, sirupuli, valattukkai, vāriyaṉ and others. These nanadēsis met at Mayilāṟpu and decided to convert Kāṭṭūr which was originally Ayyapuḻal into Vīrapaṭṭiṉa and thus exempted its inhabitants of all communal contributions, entitling them to receive what they used to get till then. They resolved also that, hence forward the town was not to be inhabited by such members of mercantile classes. 1. as demanding taxes or tolls by harassing the people with drawn-swords or by capturing them. 2. as deliberately deprived people of their food or otherwise afflicted them. They also declared that those who offended against this decision were placed outside the Vaḷañjiya- community.

Summary: King: Kulōttuṅga I Year 40: 1110 A.D.
This inscription records the origin of the iḍaṅgai class, as described by themselves. It is said that inorder to destroy the demons (who disturbed) his sacrifices sage Kāśyapa made them (ie, the iḍangai group) to appear from the fire pit. Accordingly they protected the sacrifices. Now it is stated that Chakravartin Arindama honoured the learned sages by carrying them in a chariot and led them to a agarm newly established by him. On this occasion they (ie., the iḍangai class) were made to take their seats at the backside of the car and to carry the slippers and umbrellas of those sages. Eventually, with these brāhamaṇa sages they were also made to settle down in the villages of Tiruveḷḷarai, Pāchchil, Tiruvāśi, Tiruppiḍavūr, Ūṟṟattūr and Kāraikkāḍu of Seṉṉivala-kūṟṟam. They received the generic class name Iḍaṅgai because the sages (while they got down their cars) were supported by them on their left side. The ancestors of their sect had lost everything they had in jungles and bushes and were ignorant of their origin. Having now learnt about their origin the members of 98 sects of the Iḍaṅgai class entered into a compact, in the 40th year of the king, and promised to behave like the sons of the same mother and share what good or evil might befall on any one of them.
If anything derogatory happens to the Iḍaṅgai class, they would jointly assert their rights. It is also recorded that during the congregational meetings of the Iḍaṅgai, insignia like horns, bugle and parasol must be displayed. In order to facilitate identification all were instructed to wear their distinguishing symbols, viz., the feather of crane and the loose-hanging hair. The horn and the conch-shell were to be sounded in front of them and bugle blown. Those who acted in contravention to these rules were to be treated as enemies. One Tirunallūr-uḍaiyāṉ Iḷaiyakōyil Tiruchchiṟṟambalam-uḍaiyān wrote the document at the order of five nāṭṭar.

Summary: The inscription registers a gift of 100 sheep for a lamp by Kaḍambamādēvī, the wife of the chief Vikki-Aṇṇaṉ, who was the recipient of several royal honours and of the hereditary title Śembiyaṉ Tamiḻavēḷ from the Chōḷa king Rājakēsarivarman who ’overran Toṇḍai-nāḍu’ and was the conqueror of ’kings that possessed many elephants (pal-yāṉai-kōkkaṇḍaṉ)’1 and from the Chēra king Sthāṇu Ravi.
The Tiruvālaṅgāḍu plates state that the Chōḷa king Āditya I. defeated the Pallava Aparājita and captured Toṇḍai-maṇḍalam from him. We also know that Āditya’s son, Parāntaka I., was called Parakēsarivarman and there is not therefore much doubt that the Rājakēsarivarman referred to in this inscription is Āditya I. The fact that he and the Chēra king Sthāṇu Ravi conferred honours on Vikki-Aṇṇaṉ suggests that these Chēra and the Chōḷa kings might have been contemporaries.

This inscription records that a certain Nallaperumāḷ Śaivasikhāmaṇi Bhaṭṭaṉ, who was a priest at the Viśvanātha temple at Dakshiṇakāśi in Teṉṉāri-nāḍu forfeited his right of worship in the temple for inexplicable reasons, in the fifteenth regnal year of the king. The privileges appended with the right of worship such as the ownership of house, gardens and its surroundings and also one and half mā of tax-free land at Ilāñjapaṟṟu, owned by the temple, and other privileges were now conferred on Pichcha Bhaṭṭaṉ Paḍikkāśuvaittāṉ belonged to Bhāradvāja-gōtra and Bōdhayana-sutra. The latter was also conferred the right of cultivation of the lands given. It appears that when the kinsmen (ñādi) of Śaivaśikāmaṇi Bhaṭṭaṉ refused to accept the responsibility (of worship in the above temple after the latter lost his right) this arrangement had been made. It is also stated that the new priest should discharge his duties while enjoying the privileges.

Summary: This is a record, in archaic characters, of Rājakēsarivarman (perhaps Āditya I.) dated in his 2nd year. It registers gifts made by the merchants (nagarattār) of Kumaramārtāṇḍapuram to meet the cost of repairs to the enclosure (called) Maunakumaramārtāṇḍaṉ and the gōpura of Milāḍuḍaiyārpaḷḷi. From No. 199 of the Madras Epigraphical collection for 1907 it appears that Kumaramārtāṇḍaṉ was a surname of the Pallava king Nandippōttaraiyar. In the word Milāḍuḍaiyārpaḷḷi we may have a possible reference to the Śaiva saint Meypporuṇāyaṉār also called Milāḍuḍaiyār. As the usual imprecation paṉmāheśvararakṣai does not occur at the end of the inscription, it is much more probable that Milāḍuḍaiyārpaḷḷi was a Jaina temple than a Śaiva shrine called after Milāḍuḍaiyār.

Summary: The record belongs to the 24th year of the early Chōḷa king Rājakēsarivarman and has to be assigned to Āditya I. on palaeographical grounds. It registers a gift of gold by Aḍigaḷ Gaṇḍaṉ Māṟambāvai1 , queen of Nandippōttaraiyar of the Pallavatilaka race. The fact that this Pallava queen made a grant in the reign of the Chōḷa king suggests that the Pallavas had been completely subdued by this time, as stated in the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu grant and that Nandippōttaraiyar, the husband of Māṟambāvai, was also dead.

Gaṇḍarāditta Pallavaraiyaṉ was evidently an officer of Gaṇḍarāditya who is known from copper-plate records to have been the second son of king Parāntaka I. Parakēsarivarman of this record may have, therefore, to be identified with Parāntaka I.

Summary: In this inscription which is dated in the 3rd year of Parakēsarivarman, we have a reference to the construction of the Śiva temple at Tiruchchenduṟai which was a brahmadēya suburb of Īśānamaṅgala, by Pūḍi Ādichchapiḍāriyār (Ādityapiḍāri). This lady is here distinctly called the daughter of Teṉṉavaṉ Iḷaṅgōvēḷār (another name of Maṟavaṉ Pūdiyār)1 and the queen of Arikulakēsariyār, the son of Śōḻa-Perumāṉaḍigaḷ (i.e., Parāntaka I.). Consequently, Parakēsarivarman to whose reign the record belongs is Parāntaka I. It may be noted that the 60 kaḻañju of gold granted by Pūdi Ādichchapiḍāri for sacred offerings to the god, was weighed by a stone called after Veḍēlviḍugu which was the surname of the Pallava king Teḷḷāṟṟeṟinda Nandippōttaraiyar.

Summary: This inscription records that in the 4th year of Parakēsarivarman, two residents of Kaḍuttalai in the country called Irumaḍichchōḻar Kaṉṉāḍaga (Karṇāṭaka), gave four kaḻañju of gold for feeding a devotee in the Jain temple on the hill at Vaigāvūr in Paṅgaḷa-nāḍu which was a subdivision of Palakuṉṟakōṭṭam. The name Irumaḍichchōḻar Kaṉṉāḍaga indicates that the country in which Vaigāvūr was situated, was so called after Irumaḍichchōḻa who is perhaps to be identified with Parakēsarivarman in whose reign the record is dated. Irumaḍichchōḻa means ‘the twice (powerful) Chōḻa’ as Mummaḍichchōḻa, the surname of Rājarāja I. means ‘the thrice (powerful) Chōḻa’. Parakēsarivarman Parāntaka I. was actually the second powerful king in the Vijayālaya line.
