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.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This is one of severāl earlier inscriptions on loose stones which were lying in the temple and were collected and re-engraved on its walls by the order of the king’s mother Śembiyan-Mahādēvī in the reign of Uttama-Chōḷa, when the temple was rebuilt by her of stone from its original brick structure (M.E.R. 1931, II, 9). It registers a sale of land, free of taxes, executed by the sabhā of Nāraṇakka-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya village of Nallāṟṟūr-nāḍu on the north bank, to the temple at Tirukkōḍikkā.

No. 103. (A.R. No. 123 of 1931.) TIRUCHCHATTURAI, TANJORE TALUK, TANJORE DISTRICT. ON THE NORTH WALL OF THE CENTRAL SHRINE, ŌDANAVANĒŚVARA TEMPLE.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This inscription is damaged and the portion from the 5th line onwards is engraved in smaller characters. It seems to record an endowment in land for feeding two Brahmans, a Brahmaṅ woman and some yōgis in the temple every day, made by two ladies Nakkaṉ Kavaḍiyakkaṉ and her sister Nakkaṉ Vichchiyakkaṉ, both daughters of a certain Dēvaṉār of the village. As both these persons also figure in No. 122 of 1931 of the 23rd year of Parāntaka I, the present record is attributed to Sundara-Chōḷa in the M.E.R. for 1931, II. 4. But it may with greater possibility, be assigned to Parāntaka’s son and nearer successor Gaṇḍarāditya.

Incomplete.

Emmanuel Francis.

Summary: This inscription records an endowment of some lands made by Bālāśiriyaṉ Bhaṭṭaṉ Śivaṉ Kūttaṉ of Ādanūr, to the temple of Tiruppāṟṟurai-Mahādēva at Uttamaśīli-chaturvēdimaṅgalam, to provide for the maintenance of some servants in the temple, for burning a perpetual lamp before the deity and for the midday offerings. The taxes on these lands were to be paid by the Big Assembly of the village in return for a lump-sum deposit of 50 Īḻakkāśu made with them by the donor. The details of the date given, viz., Mithuna, Tuesday, Chittirai, seem to correspond to A.D. 961, May 28, though they are not enough for verification of its correctness. The inscription may be one of Sundara-Chōḷa.
