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.

SII 13.340: original edition by G.V. Srinivasa Rao – No. 340. (A.R. No. 575 of 1920.) UḌAYĀRGUḌI (NEAR KĀṬṬUMANNĀRKŌYIL), CHIDAMBARAM TALUK, SOUTH ARCOT DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, ANANTĪŚVARA TEMPLE.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: An endowment of gold for a perpetual lamp in the temple by a lady named Koṟṟi in the name of her husband Kaṇḍiyūr Śaṅkaranārāyaṇa-Bhaṭṭa of Bhuvanachūḷāmaṇichchēri (quarter) of the village, who is called Viḍyāsāgara-pāraga and Guṇanidhi in the Sanskrit portion. The maṉṟāḍikkalaṉai including the vāriyaṉ agreed to the daily supply of ghee for the purpose. The name of the quarter suggests that it was called after the biruda of a king, possibly Parāntaka I.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This is an inscription formed by piecing together the stones found in the two temples. It seems to record an agreement by the assembly and the two Pirāṉadhikārigaḷ who are mentioned in No. 121 above of the 5th year of the king, to maintain two services and to burn a lamp in a temple (name lost) with the income from some land, 3 paṭṭi in extent (?) of which they are stated to have taken the management. Another fragment dated in the same reign merely gives the names of the Pirāṉadhikārigaḷ Śurāṉkuḍaiyār and Pirā••• of whom a third fragment supplies the full name as Pirāyūruḍaiyāṉ. This makes mention of some messengers (ōlaitūdōḍakkaḍavārgaḷ). A fourth fragment mentions Mummuḍiśōḻavadi (road) called after Mummuḍi-Chōḷa which was a surname both of Gaṇḍarāditya and Rājaraja I. Still another fragment, the last one mentions an endowment as Mahābhārata-vṛitti.

Summary: This inscription is formed by piecing together the stones found in the two temples. Portions of the inscription are lost.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: The inscription is much damaged. It seems to be connected with No. 215 above and to record an order of [A]ḍigaḷ Paḻuvēṭṭaraiyar Maṟavaṉ Kaṇḍaṉ to the Tōdapattikkāṟach-Cheṭṭigaḷ (merchant community) of the place perhaps permitting the payment of taxes due by them at the rates prevailing at Nandipuram, on the representation made on their behalf by . . . . ṇāvaṉ Araiyaṉ alias Kaṇḍaśeṭṭi. The order was communicated through the officer Vēḷāṉ Chintāmaṇi, the headman of Tattaṉūr.

Summary: This record is incised in early characters and has therefore been assigned to Āditya I (M.E.R. 1931, II. 4). It registers a gift of 25 kaḻañju for a perpetual lamp in the temple by Gāndharvan Bāradāyaṉ Śiṅgaṉ Śrīkaṇṭhaṉ. The ends of the lines are built in.

Summary: The inscription is built in at the right end. It registers an endowment in gold made by a certain Guṇavaṉ Puttaṉ of Kaḷattūr[-kōṭṭam ?] for a perpetual lamp in the temple to be maintained by the sabhā of Tirutturutti. The donor seems to be identical with Guṇavaṉ Puttaḍi mentioned in No. 273 above from Tillaisthānam, which is dated in the 17th year of the king. The name of his native village is given there as Kumārapāḍi in Vaidāvūr-nāḍu a subdivision of Kaḷattūr-kōṭṭam. The record is assignable to the reign of Āditya I on account of its early script.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This records an endowment of lands made after purchase by a certain Kūttappirāṉ-Bhaṭṭaṉ of Ādaṉūr for the requirements of worship and offerings in the temple, which are specified in detail. The alphabet of this record is similar to that of No. 170 of 1907 of Vikrama-Chōḷa, and the style of wording is also comparatively late, and hence this may be ascribed to the reign of Kulōttuṅga-Chōḷa I.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: The inscription is damaged. It records a gift of land by a certain Kaviṇiyaṉ Kīrttimā[r*]ttāṇḍa-Brahmādharājaṉ alias Śe . . . Kuñjaramallaṉ for an offering to the deity during the early morning service in the temple of Uḍaitalaipperumāḷ of the village. Mention is made of two fields, one called Kuñjaramalla-Vayakkal and the other Vēḷkula-Bhīma-Vayakkal. By Vēḷkula-Bhīma is perhaps meant the Eastern Chāḷukya Bhīma II; more probably it might be a title of Parāntaka I assumed after his overthrow of Śīṭpuli (-nāḍu ?) in Nellore which formed part of the Eastern Chālukya dominion (M.E.R. 1913, p. 94). Kirttimārttāṇḍa was a probable surname of the Rāshṭrakūṭa king Kṛishṇa III. (M.E.R. 1936-37, para 20). This should be a record of Gaṇḍarāditya.

Summary: The inscription is damaged.

Summary: This inscription gives a list of the several tax-free temple lands with their incomes specifically allocated for the various requirements (of the temple) at the instance of Araiyar Āchārakānta-Brahmādhirāja to the Mūlaparishad of Mahēndramaṅgalam, who had this re-engraved on stone after collecting the necessary information, by appointing a committee (vārigam) for that purpose. Incidentally we learn that provision was made for the playing of music during the śrībali service by seven persons, three for mattaḷi, one for karaḍigai, one for tāḷam, one for paḍagam and one for śēgaṇḍigai. The characters of the record and its style seem to point to the time of Rājarāja I.

Summary: This is engraved below No. 378 of 1909 of Vikrama-Chōḷa and in similar characters.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This records an agreement given by the sabhā of Māḍambākkam (s. a. Māḍambākkam in the Saidapet taluk) alias Aṇidīra-maṅgalam in Neḍuṅguṉṟa-nāḍu, a subdivision of Puliyūr-kōṭṭam, to pay as interest every year on 15 kaḻañju of gold received by them from Nakkaṉ Pirāntakaṉ alias Brahmaśrīrājan, a resident of Alaiyūr in Poygai-nāḍu of Śōṇāḍu, ninety nāḻi of oil calculated at one uḻakku per day, for a perpetual lamp in the temple at Tiruviḍavandai, a dēvadāna in Paḍuvūr-nāḍu a sub-division of Āmūr-kōṭṭam. In default the sabhā made itself liable for a fine of 8 1/4 kāṇam a day to be paid to the Dharmāsana and for a levy of a maṉṟupāḍu tax of a mañjāḍi a day to the then reigning king. The sabhā of Tiruviḍavandai through its Tiruvuṇṇāḻigai-vāriyap-perumakkaḷ (temple-committee) held itself responsible for the collection of this oil and for burning the lamp. Alaiyūr in Poygai-nāḍu may be identified with Allūr in the Tanjore taluk, since Tillaisthānam in the same taluk (No. 47 below) was also like Alaiyūr in Poygai-nāḍu.

They were left in charge of two shepherds who were to supply 7 nāḻi and 1 uri of ghee every month for the purpose. Vīraśōḻa was a surname of king Parāntaka I and the inscription might therefore be referred to Gaṇḍarāditya, his immediate successor.

It refers to a fine of 3000 kaḻañju received by Madirai-koṇḍa-Uḍaiyār (Parāntaka I) and to the Pāṇḍippaḍaiyār (regiment). Mention is also made of (a temple of) Jalaśayana.

These regiments might have derived their names from possible titles of Parāntaka I, and hence the record might be assigned to Gaṇḍarāditya.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: The middle portion of the inscription is built in. This registers a joint sale of some land by the Peruṅguṟi-sabhā of Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam and the Ūrār of Eṟumbiyūr between whom the boundary of the land is said to have been a matter of dispute, to a certain Vīranārāyaṇaṉ Śembiyaṉ Vēdivēḷār of Śiṟudavūr in Kiḷiyūr-nāḍu. They agreed to pay the taxes iṟai, echchōṟu and veṭṭivēdinai due on the land for a lump sum of gold received by them in addition to the sale amount, and also agreed to give the necessary supply of water for irrigation of the land from the tank at Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. The land was endowed to the temple by the purchaser for the maintenance of four persons singing the tiruppadiyam (before the god). The donor is known from No. 51 below to have built the Śrīvimāna of this temple.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: The inscription registers another sale of land, made tax-free, at Śrīkaṇṭha-chaturvēdimaṅgalam by the assembly (Peruṅguri-sabhai) of the village to Vēḷāṉ Vīranāraṇaṉ alias Śembiyaṉ Vēdivēḷār of Śīṟudavūr who is stated to have constructed the Śrīvimāna to (god) Tiruveṟumbiyūr-Āḻvār. This person, after paying the cost of the land as well as a lump sum towards its tax-exemption, and also redeeming it from a certain resident of the village named Māppāni Kāri Nakkaṉ in whose charge the land had been left by the assembly (evidently in mortgage), endowed the land for the maintenance of four persons who were to sing the Tiruppadiyam hymns to the accompaniment of uḍukkai and tāḷam daily during the three services in the temple. The donor is also said to have added to this land, another piece which had been the object of a boundary dispute (sīmā-vivādam) between the residents of Śrīkaṇṭhachaturvēdimaṅgalam and Tiruveṟumbiyūr, and which he had purchased from both the parties (See No. 50 above). The inscription refers to a channel dug by the donor. This is evidently the one mentioned in No. 50 above.

SII 1.35: original edition by Eugen Hultzsch – PART I. SANSKRIT INSCRIPTIONS. II. COPPER-PLATE GRANTS OF THE EASTERN CHALUKYA DYNASTY. No. 35. A GRANT OF NARENDRA-MṚIGARĀJA.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: The subjoined five grants belong to the kings Narendra-mṛigarāja or Vijayāditya II, Amma I. or Vishṇuvardhana VI, Chālukya-Bhīma II. or Vishṇuvardhana VII, Amma II. or Vijayāditya V. and Vīra-Choḍa or Vishṇuvardhana IX. The place, which is occupied by each of these princes in the genealogy of the Eastern Chalukya dynasty, will be seen from the annexed table, for which all hitherto published Eastern Chalukya grants have been consulted, and in which numbers are prefixed to the names of those princes who really reigned, in order to mark their succession. 1 The relation of the two usurpers (18) Tālapa and (21) Yuddhamalla to the direct line of the family is established by three inscriptions:—a. Tāḍapa is called the son of Vikramāditya’s brother (Ind. Ant. Vol. XIV. p. 56); b. Tāla is called the son of Yuddhamalla, who was the paternal uncle of Chālukya-Bhīma I. (Ind. Ant. Vol. XIII, p. 249, where pitṛivya has to be read for pitṛivyo); c. Bhīma II, the son of Kollabhigaṇḍa Vijayāditya, is at the same time called the son of Yuddhamalla, the son of Tālapa, i.e., he belonged to the next generation after (21) Yuddhamalla (Ind. Ant. Vol. XII, p. 92). Three of the last kings, who are shown in the annexed table, viz., (28) Vijayāditya VI, (29) Rājarāja II. and (30) Vīra-Choḍa, are only known from the subjoined inscription No. 39. This grant belongs to the Sir W. Elliot Collection of the British Museum, and was made over to me for publication by Dr. Burgess. It consists of five copper-plates with raised rims. Each plate measures 9 by 3 inches. The first and fifth plates are inscribed only on their inner sides, while the three middle ones bear writing on both sides. The preservation of the plates is tolerably good. They are strung on an elliptic ring, which is (1/2)" thick and 4(7/8)" by 3(1/2)" in diameter. The well-preserved circular seal, which is attached to the ring, measures 2(5/8)" in diameter. It bears the sun and the moon at the top, the legend śrītribhuvanāṁkuśa across the centre, and an expanded lotus-flower (side-view) at the bottom—all in relief on a counter-sunk surface. The document is a grant of the parama-māheśvara Narendra-mṛigarāja, alias Vijayāditya II., the son of Vishṇuvardhana IV. and grandson of Vijayāditya I. The name of the district (vishaya), to the inhabitants of which the king addresses his order, is lost. On the occasion of a lunar eclipse (chandra-grahaṇa-nimitte2) the king gave the village of Koṟṟapaṟṟu to twenty-four brāhmaṇas. Of these, six adhered to the Hiraṇyakeśi-sūtra and eighteen to the Āpastamba-sūtra. They belonged to the following gotṛas:—Agniveśya, Kauṇḍinya, Kauśika, Gautama, Parāśara, Bhāradvāja, Vatsa, Śāṇḍilya, Saṁkṛiti and Harita. According to the colophon of the grant, “the excellent prince Nṛipa-Rudra, who was the brother of Narendra-mṛigarāja and a descendant of the Haihaya-vaṁśa (!), (was) the executor of this charity.”3 [[genealogical table:]] PEDIGREE OF THE EASTERN CHALUKYA DYNASTY.
