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: King: Prākrama Pāṇḍya Year Śaka 1384, Mithuna 28, ba. di. 13, Monday, Mṛigaśīrisha = 25th June 1462 A.D. but the day was Friday.
This incomplete inscription records the creation of a brāhmaṇical settlement, which consisted of forty eight ma wet land twenty four mā of dry land, named after the prince Sheṇbagarāma pāṇḍyadēvar alias Vīrapāṇḍyadēvar, Vīrapāṇḍyach-chaturvēdimaṅgalam by the king infavour of eighteen Vēdic brāhmaṇas and one brāhmaṇa, who was to read Pañchāṅga. It is also stated that they were to recite Vedas and Purāṇas and read Pañchāṅga before the king.
Besides these, land shares were also set apart to five brāhmaṇas. They were Mālādhara Bhaṭṭaṉ in Śaka 1378, Śrī Kṛishṇa Bhaṭṭaṉ in Śaka 1382, Padmanābha Bhaṭṭaṉ, Nārāyaṇa Bhaṭṭaṉ Parākrama Pāṇḍya Brahmādarāyaṉ and Kailāśanātha Bhaṭṭaṉ along with the above nineteen brāhmaṇas in Śaka 1384. The latter, Kailāśanātha Bhaṭṭaṉ, was to expound Purāṇas. The inscription also narrates in detail matters relating to the land shares i.e., boundaries, extent and other details. The nativity of these donees, their gōtras and sūtras are also given.
It is evident that each of them was to get two mā of wet land and one mā of dry land.
