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.

This inscription is dated in the reign of Kōṉēriṉmaikoṇḍāṉ, who from the reference to Kōyilpoṉmēyndaperumāḷ and Sundarapāṇḍya in the body of the inscription, may be identical with Jaṭāvarmaṉ Sundarapāṇḍya I. This is dated in the 205th day of the 14th Year.
It records a royal order leasing out 30 vēli of land belonging to Deyvanāyakaṉ temple in Tiruvayindirapuram in Marudāḍu, a hamlet of Śōḻakulavallinallūr and Kīḻaikkēraḷāntakanallūr as kuḍinīṅgāda tiruviḍaiyāṭṭam to the chaturvēdi-bhaṭṭas of Puttuḻāṉ-Brahmadēśam in Tiruvayīndiram by Puttuḻār Tiruvaraṅgachchelvar alias Villavarāyar. The bhaṭṭas were required to measure out annually to the Deyvanāyakan temple, 20 kalam of paddy per vēli, as āyam, upādi and kaḍamai for food and other offerings to the image of god Kōyil-poṉmēynda Perumāḷ, set up by the king in his name and for offerings on the occasion of Sundarapāṇḍyaṉ sandhi for the god Deyvanāyakaṉ.

This record pertaining to the Deyvanāyakaṉ temple of Tiruvayīndiram (Tiruvēndipuram) was engraved here evidently because some of the lands under reference were situated in Śōḻakulavallinallūr, where Tirukkaṇṭhēśvaram was situated.
