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: On the north and west walls, central shrine, Gaṅgājaṭādhara temple. Year 14: 985 A.D. This inscription has two sections. The first one is in Sanskrit and the second portion in Tamil. The first portion eulogises that Ambalavan Paḻuvūr-Nakkaṉ of Kuvuḷālapuram was born in a good caste and that he founded one dynasty. He was an embodiment of munificience and his foes knew him as a personification of bravery. The damsels knew him as an incarnation of cupid and scholars knew him as dharma incarnate. He had gained the appreciation of Vikramachōḻa by the show of his valour. In the 14th regnal year of the King he converted the temple of Sambhu at Vijayamaṅgalam in the agrahāra of Śrī Vānavanmahādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam into stone and gifted the village Neḍuvāyil, attached to the same greater Vānavaṉmahādēvi-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, after purchasing it and getting it made tax-free from the Mahāparishad of the same agrahāra for the worship of the god and celebration of festivals in the said temple. The Tamil version of the record states that Ambalavaṉ Paḻuvūr Nakkaṉ alias Vikrama chōḷa mahārājan of Kuvaḷālapuram, the perundaram official of the king had constructed the temple of Vijayamaṅgalattu-Mahādēvar at Śrī Vāṉavanmahādēvichaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēyam on the northern bank (of the river) in stone. He also gifted Neḍuvāyil, a northern hamlet of the village of Vānavaṉmahādēvichaturvēdimaṅgalam with all its appurtenances, after purchase from the peruṅkuṟipperumakkaḷ of the above village and donated it as a bhōgam to the god of Vijayamaṅgalam for providing food offerings and also for conducting various services, worship and festivals to the deity. He also gave seven hundred kāśu and got the donated village freed from taxes by the same sabhā. The madhyastha of the village Niṉṟāṉ Āra Amudan Vānavamādēvipperuṅgāvidi wrote this charter.

Summary: On the south wall, central shrine, Gaṅgā-Jaṭādhara temple. Year 10: 981 A.D.

Another gift of two shares for two perpetual lamps for the same God made by one Maḻavar of Aṇḍāḍu, evidently a close relation of the donor is also recorded at the end.

SII 3.42: original edition by Eugen Julius Theodor Hultzsch – No. 42.—ON A BOULDER NEAR TIRUVALLAM.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This inscription is engraved on the slightly sloping surface of a large boulder in the bed of the Nīvā river, one mile north-east of Tiruvallam. The alphabet is Tamil and Grantha of an archaic type. It resembles the alphabet of the inscriptions of the Western Gaṅga king Kampavarman (Nos. 5 and 8 above) and lies between the two Kīḻ-Muṭṭugūr inscriptions of Vijaya-Narasiṁhavarman1 as the upper limit and the two Āmbūr inscriptions of Vijaya-Nṛipatuṅga-Vikramavarman2 as the lower one. As in other archaic Tamil inscriptions,3 the virāma is expressed by a vertical dash over the letter in a number of cases, though not throughout. In the word Maṉṟāḍi (l. 8) the syllable ṟā is expressed by two separate symbols.4 The letter ṉ has generally its archaic form, but in two cases5 its central loop is fully developed. The language of the inscription is Tamil; but line 1 contains some invocations in Sanskrit prose, and line 15 f. a Sanskrit verse. The record is dated in the 62nd year of the reign of Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman (l. 2 f.). Three other inscriptions of the same king are noticed in Vol. I. (Nos. 108, 124 and 125). As I have shown before,6 he is probably identical with Nandivarman, the father of Vijaya-Nṛipatuṅgavarman and the son-in-law of the Rāshṭrakūṭa king Amōghavarsha I. If this identification is correct, the inscription would have to be placed before the end of the 9th century A.D. Vijaya-Nandivikramavarman appears to have been the sovereign of Mahāvalivāṇarāya (l. 11) or Māvalivāṇarāya (l. 5), who was a descendant of the family of Mahābali (l. 5) and ruled the twelve thousand (villages) of Vaḍugavaḻi (l. 6), i.e. ‘the Telugu road.’ This province is mentioned in the Muḍyanūr plates of the Bāṇa king Malladēva as ‘the twelve thousand villages in Āndhra-maṇḍala,’7 and in the Udayēndiram plates of the Bāṇa king Vikramāditya II. as ‘the land to the west of the Āndhra road.’8 The attributes which are prefixed to the name of Mahāvalivāṇarāya in the subjoined inscription (l. 3 ff.) are also found in an undated inscription of Mahāvalibāṇarasa at Gūlgānpode.9 As I have stated before,10 Mahābalibāṇarāja seems to have been the hereditary designation of the Bāṇa chiefs. Hence it is impossible to say which individual chief is meant in the present inscription. The inscription records that a goldsmith granted some land to a temple at Vāṇapuram (ll. 6 and 14), and that Mahāvalivāṇarāya confirmed this grant (l. 10 f.). Vāṇapuram, ‘the town of the Bāṇas,’ seems to have been the residence of the Bāṇa chief and to have been situated close to Tiruvallam.

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.
