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.

Summary: This interesting record registers a gift of gold made by a military officer for strengthening the bund of a tank, by depositing on it the silt-removed from that tank. The gift, however, appears to have been utilized subsequently for feeding four Brāhmaṇas in the local temple, for the merit of the four heroes who fell in a battle on the occasion when the donor Tīraṉ Śeṉṉippēraraiyaṉ of Araiśūr made a frontal attack with his colleagues on the enemy, in a fierce battle (astikkaḍai) fought at Vēḷūr between Perumāṉaḍigaḷ (i.e., Parāntaka I.) and the allied Pāṇḍya and Ceylon kings. The result of the battle is not stated; but from the Udayēndiram plates published above, in Volume II, pages 375 ff., Parāntaka I. is known to have conquered Madura after defeating its ruler the Pāṇḍya king Rājasiṁha and to have repulsed an army of the king of Laṅkā (Ceylon), thereby earning for himself the surname Saṅgrāmarāghava. The Ceylon king who at this time must have sent his army in support of the Pāṇḍya could have been no other than Kassapa V. who, according to the traditional account given in the Mahāwamsa, would have reigned from A. D. 906 to 916 (Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society for July 1913, page 525 f.). The commencement of the reign of Parāntaka I. has been fixed by Professor Kielhorn to lie between 15th January and 25th July A.D. 907.

Summary: This interesting record contains an order which Rājarāja I. issued at (his capital) Tañjāvūr on the 124th day of the 24th year of his reign, and which was engrossed on the 143rd day of the same year. This order deals with defaulters of land revenue in villages held by Brāhmaṇas, Vaikhānasas and Jainas in the Chōḷa, Toṇḍai and Pāṇḍya countries. The villagers were authorized to confiscate and sell the land on which no taxes had been paid for two full years.
The royal order was written by the secretary Rājakēsarinallūr Kiḻavaṉ, or, as he is called in two of the Tañjāvūr inscriptions, Kāṟāyil Eḍuttapādam.1 It was signed by the chief secretary Mummuḍi-Chōḷa-Brahmamahārāja, and by Mummuḍi-Chōḷa-Bhōja. These two officers are mentioned in the large Leyden grant2 and in inscriptions of the Tanjore temple.3 Their original names were Kṛishṇa Rāma and Īrāyiravaṉ Pallavayaṉ. During the reign of Rājarāja I. they bore the titles Mummuḍi-Chōḷa-Brahmamahārāja and Mummuḍi-Chōḷa-Bhōja, which are derived from Mummuḍi-Chōḷa, a surname of Rājarāja I. After the accession of Rājēndra-Chōḷa I. they received the additional titles Rājēndra-Chōḷa-Brahmamahārāja and Uttama-Chōḷa-Pallavaraiyaṉ.4

Summary: North wall of the central shrine in the Trivikramaperumāl temple.
Vijayanagara, Narasiṁhadēva, Śaka 1393, Vikṟiti, Aṟpaśi 13, Monday, trayōdaśi, Aśvati (irregular) = 1470 A.D.
The details of date viz., are irregular as the star Aśvati cannot occur on the 13th tithi in the month of Aippaśi.
This inscription refers to the collapse of the mukhamaṇḍapa, outer wall (tirumadiḷ), and the gōpura of the Tiruviḍaikaḻināyanār temple at Tirukkōvalūr, in the Vaḻudilampaṭṭu uśavaḍi for several Years due to the disturbances caused by the Oḍḍiyas (i.e. Oḍḍiya-kalabai) and the repairs to them carried out by Aṉṉamarasagaḷ, the agent of Sāḷuva Narasiṁhadēva. It further records that the lands that once belonged to the temple were restored and made tax-free and the services to the god revived by Aṉṉamarasar. Almost similar copiesof this inscription are found at Nerkunam (ARE. No. 213 of 1935), Arakandanallur (ARE. No. 11 of 1935), Siddalingamadam (ARE. No. 262 of 1937) etc.
