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", "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.

Rājarāja III. Year 9: 1224-25 A.D.
The endowment recorded in this inscription was originally made in the reign of Rājarāja I (vide Nos. 297 and 300). Since in the former, Vīra Nārasiṅgadēva Yādavarāya, a well-known feudatory of Rājarāja III is mentioned, the king of this record may be identified with Rājarāja III.
This records the endowment of 26 1/4 kaḻañju of gold weighed by kuḍiṉai for various services and offerings to god Pippalādīchcharamuḍaiya Nāyaṉār by the sabhā of Tiruchchukaṉūr. The gift was taken over by the śivabrāhmaṇas of this temple.

Rājarāja III. Year 9: 1224-25 A.D.
This inscription is dated in the month of Tai of the 9th year of Rājarāja III. It refers to an endowment made on the 80th day of the 23rd year of Rājarāja I. It also mentions Śāḷukki Vīra Nārasiṅgadēva alias Yādavarāya, as the ruler of the place (vide Nos. 296 above and 299 below).
This records an enquiry conducted by the aforesaid Yādavarāya, the Śrīmāhēśvaras and the Sthānattār, held in Tirukkaṇṇappadēvan-tirukkāvaṇam, into a complaint made by the sthānattār of the temple of god Pippalādīśvaramuḍaiya-mahādēva in Tiruchchukaṉūr, a brahmadēya in Tirukkuḍavūr-nāḍu in Perumbāṇappāḍi-ttiruvēṅgaḍa-kkōṭṭam in Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-maṇḍalam, against the sabhā of the same place that the latter failed to carry out the provisions of an endowment of 26 1/4 kaḻañju for services and offerings during Uttarāyaṉa Saṁkramaṇa to God Pippalādīśvaramuḍaiya-mahādēva, made by Namban Kūttāḍi alias Jayaṅgoṇḍaśōḻa-Brahmārāyaṉ of Aruvētōvai kōṭ(?), a brahmadēya in Nenmali-nāḍu in Arumoḻidēva-vaḷanāḍu in Śōḻamaṇḍalam on the 80th day of the 23rd regnal year of Rājarāja I, having received the amount of the endowment from the donor. As the complainants could produce in evidence an epigraphical record of this transaction, the Sabhā was directed to pay the 26 1/4 kaḻañju into the temple treasury.
The ūravar of Iḷamaṇḍiyam, Eṟppiḍipaṭṭu, Avilāli, Guṇḍuppākkam, Tēṉappaḷḷi-Muññaippūṇḍi, Taṇḍalam, etc., figure as signatories to this inscription.

Summary: This inscription is dated in the Ānanda year, which was current after the expiration of the Śaka year 1296, and during the reign of Ommaṇa-uḍaiyar, the son of Kambaṇauḍaiyar and grandson of Vīra-Kambaṇa-uḍaiyar.1 Like No. 52, above, the inscription is a receipt for the cost of some land, which a certain Vishṇu-Kambuḷi-nāyaka seems to have bought from the villagers of Śambukula-Perumāḷ-agaram, alias Rājagambhīra-chaturvedi-maṅgalam.2 This village belonged to Murugamaṅgalapaṟṟu3 in Maṇḍaikuḷa-nāḍu, a division of Palakuṉṟa-koṭṭam,4 which formed part of Jayaṅkoṇḍa-Choḷa-maṇḍalam. The four last lines, which consist of signatures, have not been transcribed, as they are somewhat obliterated. The following are the readable names of villages, which occur at the beginnings of the different signatures:5—Kumāṇḍūr, Murugappāḍi, Periya-Kāṭṭeri, Vaṅgipp[u]ṟam.

Rājarāja I (?) Year 23: 1008 A.D.
This inscription seems to record the gift of gold on the 80th day of the 23rd year of Rājarāja I, referred to in No. 297 above as the subject of a dispute between the sabhā of Tiruchchukanūr, and the tāṉattār of the temple. The donor Nambaṉ Kūttāḍi alias Jayaṅgoṇḍa-Śōḻamārāyan was a general of Rājarāja I.

It describes the king with the Chālukya titles like Sakalabhuvanāśraya, Mēdinīvallabha and Ravikula-tilaka, etc., and also commences with the praśasti Vīramētuṇai-yāgavum, etc., of the king.
This seems to record some grant by the king, when he was seated in his palace on the banks of the river Pagaḷai, in Nuṟuṅgi in Vallakkunda-nāḍu in Vijayarājēndramaṇḍalam to god Pipplādīśvaramuḍaiya-mahādēva.
