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: Sundareśvara temple, Centalai, Tiruvaiyāṟu taluk, Tañcāvūr district. On the southern doorjamb of the Gaṇeśa shrine. The inscription is engraved on a stone which was probably re-used because the inscription on the opposite doorjamb (SII 6.444) records the construction of this shrine at a much later period, probably during the Nāyaka period. The last syllable at the end of each line is not visible, but it appears in brackets in the edition of SII.

Summary: Lakṣmīnārāyaṇa temple, Javantināthapuram, Lālkuṭi taluk, Trichy district. On a stone (perhaps was it a doorjamb originally?), embedded in the right-side cement pillar of the gate. Regnal year 9 opposite to 4 of Māṟañcaṭaiyaṉ, aviṭṭa day, which falls on Monday in the month of dhanus.1 The last syllable of each line is not visible, even on the estampage published in 1940–1950 in EI 28, but can be easily guessed in most of the cases and thus restored in the text in square brackets with an asterisk. The inscription stops abruptly, the remaining part of it perhaps covered by cement.

Summary: Gopinatha Rao [1908] 1988: “The subjoined verse is engraved on the north wall of the ruined gopura in front of the Viśvanāthasvāmin temple at Teṉkāci. It records that the king Aḻakaṉ Perumāl Kulaśekhara, who calls Arikesari Parākrama Pāṇḍya his brother (or cousin, aṇṇāḻvi) seeing that the work undertaken by the latter remained incomplete, caused the superstructure of the gopura to be finished with brick. This prince Kulaśekhara has been taken as brother or cousin, of Arikesari, in the General Introduction.”

Summary: Tyagarājasvāmin temple, Tiruvāymūr, Tirukkuvaḷai taluk, Nākappaṭṭiṉam district. On the southern base of the main sanctuary, starting in the middle of the eastern side of the shrine of Dakṣiṇāmūrti. This unpublished inscription was probably a copy of an older one, made after the 11th century.1 All inscriptions on this base are copied following each other as in Tirukkōṭikkāval and this one is the fourth inscription. It is followed by Cōḻa-period inscriptions.

Summary: Tyagarājasvāmin temple, Tiruvāymūr, Tirukkuvaḷai taluk, Nākappaṭṭiṉam district. On the southern base of the main sanctuary, starting on the south-west corner; regnal year lost of Varaguṇa Mahārāja. This unpublished inscription is the first inscription of a series of epigraphs which were copied after the 11th century. It is followed by an inscription probably dated with a Pallava regnal year ([…] potta […] is legible, referring probably to Nantippōttaraiyar of whom we often find inscription where the Pāṇḍyan gives).
