TBANSLATION.
1. Hail ! Prosperity! Until the twenty-ninth year (of the reign) of E6 -
varman, a/a ^ri-Kajarajadeva ? who, in his life of growing strength, during which,
(lii) the belief that, as weU as the goddess of fortune, the goddess of the great earth had
become his wife, he was pleased to destroy the ships (a*) Kandalftr-^aiai, 1 and con-
quered by his army, which was victorious in great battles, Ygngai-n,du, G-ang^a-padi,
Enlamba-padi, Tadigai-pSdi, Kudamalai-nadu, Eollam, Kalingam, tra-man-
dalam, (the conquest of which) mado (him) famous (in) the eight directions, 2 and the seven
and a half &*t*w of Iratta-padi, deprived the geriyas (i.e., the Pandyas) of (their)
splendour at the very moment when (they were) resplendent (to such a degree) that (they were )
worthy to be worshipped everywhere; 3 cattle had been given by the lord Srl-E^jar^ja-
dva 4 for '^/^v/} sacred lamps before the lord of the ri-KajarajS6vara (temple) ; (other)
cattle had been given by (other) donors ; and (other) cattle were represented by funds (vnudal)f
as money (JtdSu) had been paid (for their purchase into the temple treasury). (These j cattle
were assigned to shepherds (Idaiyar), who had to supply ghee for the sacred lamps (from
their *e?), at the rate of ninety-six ewes, or forty-eight cows, or sixteen she-buffaloes for
1 See page 241, note 1.
* The composer adds this epithet to tramarujalam evidently because the latter is the eighth item in the
list of R^jaruja'a conquests.
9 The above translation of this passage slightly differs from that which I gave on former occasions. A
I urtlier change would be necessary, if a various reading, which occurs in an inscription of the 20th year at
Somur near Karnvur in the Coimbatore district, in an inscription of the 29th year at Melpadi near Tiru-
vall&m in the Xorth Areot district, and in three inscriptions of the l[7]th, 24th and 29th years at Ukkal near
Mumandur in the same district, should prore correct. Th.ese five inscriptions read Q^rr^^&Dis instead of
G&Ttyps. Accepting this, we would have to translate : " (who) deprived the Seriy as of (their) splendour at
the very moment when U da gai, which is worshipped everywhere, was (most) resplendent," and to assume
that Ud*gai tsms a city which Rajarajadeva took from the Pandyas. The storming of Udagai is actually
mentioned in the JiWf" ngattu- Parent, canto viii. verse 24 ; and this verse probably refers to the reign of
3iujar&ja, because the following verse (25) mentions the invasion of Mannai on the bank of the Q-anga, and
the annexation of Kadaram (by his successor Bajendra-Chola).
* In two previously published inscriptions (No. 3, paragraphs 5 and 6, and No. 59, paragraphs 2, 3, 4,
9 a*& 11), the word mif*, * catde,* was taken in the unusual sense of ' gold.' The present inscription snows,
feovever, tLat U* juTiVa a'.-tuai:y gave cattle to tke temple. T s ence the translation has probably to be changed
into : 4 * tiue cattle which tbe king had seized,' 7 &c.
* O two former occasions (No. 3, paragraph 1, and Wo. 59, paragraph 1), tbe expression mudal-dna was
ira&vlated br ' of tto first quality/ wliick I now consider less probable.

No. 65. ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE NOHTH ENCLOSURE.
This inscription records an order of king Kajarajadgva, by which he assigned a daily
allowance of paddy to each of forty-eight persons, whom he had appointed before the 29th
y*ar of his reign, in order to recite the Tlruppadiyam in the temple, and to two persons who
had to accompany the others on drums. This statement is of considerable importance for the
history of Tamil literature 7 as an unmistakable proof of the existence of the gaiva hymns
which go by the name tApadigam or pad/yam, and which are collected in the Dtvdram, in
the time of Bijaraja. The names of the fifty incumbents serve to corroborate
ficafa*B<rf the TlnwHyai* with the Devdram, as^arfc j>f Jfe^^f^ueiiW from t

Tiruvaymflr (30), Maraikkddu (41) or Tiruinaraikkfi[d u] (17), AiySru (46),
and r^r'i-r- Tiruvilairaarudfir (51). The name VenkAdau (16, 27, 29, 36, 40) is
derived from VeukAdu or Tiruvenk&lu, after whi<*h the mother of the saint ?r*h'l*7ar
was called Tiruvenkattu-Xangai. 1 The god at Chidambaram is alluded to by the
names Ainbalavau (11), Ambalattadi (4, 47;, AmbaLakkuttau (IS), KAttau (20, 26, 29, 31,
49), Tillaikkflttay (49), T^k^r^u (33), and Eduttapidam (9, 24, 32).
The name Tiruvenaval (3; is identical with ttnt-twn-nival, u the sacred white jfamfai
tree' 7 in the Saiva temple on the island of Srirangam near Tr:-L:^-'julv, This temple is
now called JambukeSvara, Tiruva&aikka vaP or f by the Post Office) TI:vr*v2:k!: *;-"!.
The first of these three names means ** (the image of) Jgrara (i> M iva) (under) the JamlA
(tree)," and the two others are corruptions of the auricnt name of the locality, viz., Tiru-
vuuaikkA, ** the sacred ^jh~r.S:rr~T?." The full designation of the god, as used in the
JambukeSvara in^rirt: -a?, is ifc the lord of the stered olf-:La:it-;rr.ve (Tiruvfi&aikk&), alia*
the lord of the three worlds, who is pleased to reside gladly under the shade of the sacred white
jambu tree (tini-ven-n<ical)*' This name and the modern name Jambuke^vara refer to an
ancient legend, which is thus narrated in the Periyapurdnam (p. 239 of the Madras edition
of 18S8): "In a grove near the Chandratirtha (i>., the Moon-tank) in the Ch61a
country, a Uxga of Siva made its appearance under a white jurnbu tree {ren-n&eal}. This was
daily worshipped by a white elephant. Therefore the place received the name of " the sacred
elephant-grove" (Tiruvauaikka). Over the linga, a spider constructed a canopy, in order
to prevent dry leaves from dropping on the Kaga. When the elephant saw the cobwebs, he
tore them down, because he considered them out of place. The spider became angry, crawled
into the trunk of the elephant and bit it. The animal dashed its trunk on the ground and
died. So did the spider. In due course, the spider was reborn as the son of the Ch81a
king ^ubhaddva and of his queen Kamala vat i. The boy received the name ICd-Sengan-
n&u* and inherited his father's kingdom. He possessed the faculty of remembering his
former births and constructed a temple^ of ^iya near the white JambA tree ijt thg-JEacreit
elephant-grove, where be, as U Spider, liad ioraS?!^ Adistinet
allusion to this legend occurs in a Jambufc^vara inscription of the P&ndya king K6-Mara-
varman, alias KulaSekharadSva, which mentions "the sacred street called after (the god)
who transformed a spider inte a Ch61a (king)." 4 That the legend, and the Jambukggvara
temple itself, was in existence in about A.D. 1000, may be concluded from the subjoined
inscription, in which the word tiruve[n^ideal forms part of the name of one of the donees.
Of historical interest is the name R&jidittan (47;, which appears to have been be-
stowed on its bearer in commemoration of Baj&JLLtya, t^ Chdla contemporary of the
Eoshtrakflta king Krishna IIL*

daily allowance (nibandha) of three kuruw of paddy each, (measured) by the marakkal called
(afar) Adftvall&Bj which is equal to a r&jaMsari. Instead of those among these persons,
who would die or emigrate, 9 the nearest relations of such persons were to receive that paddy
and to recite the Tiruppadiyam. If the nearest relations of such persons were not qualified
themselves, they were to select (other) qualified persons, to let (these) recite the Tiruppadiyam^
and to receive that paddy. If there were no near relations to such persons, the (other) incum-

This very long ::>:rrtr~. which bears the same date as 2fo, C5, and resembles it
in style, records an order of king RujarajadSva, by which he assigned the produce of
certain land to a number ofj men who had to perform various services in connection with the
temple, and to four hundred women, evidently ^2r-?:ng-g:r!s, who had been transferred to
the establishment of the Rijaraje^vara temple from that of other temples in the Choi a
countrv. Each person received one or more shares, each of which consisted of the produce
of one cell of land, which was calculated at 100 kol&m of paddy. This statement is valuable,
as it enables us to ascertain, by a comparison of the produce in paddy with the extent
of the land, that the unnamed land-measure, which is referred to in two other TaBjdvftr
inscriptions of Bajaraja (Xos. 4 and 5), is meant for the tilL According to the Dtftivnnain
Tamul-Franpiiti the modern equivalent of the tili is 26,755 square metre*.
Paragraphs 3 to 402 contain a list of the names of the dancing-girls whom B2j..rtja
had imported and settled in the neighbourhood of the Taojivur temple. The luuftes of
some of these women are of historical interest, as they refer to the designations of sacred
places and of royal pemqages. Of the latter kind are : R&jariji (paragraphs 65 aad
268) Rujakesari (10), and Aruraori 5 (236, 369), which are derived from different names
of the reigning king. The name Kundavai (215) is identical with that of B&jar&ja's elder
sister 6 and the name Arifiji (400) appears to be connected with Arimjaya, ffca Sanskrit
name of bis grandfather. 7 The name Seyya-Sdram (280) may be connected with the
Ch61a king engan, 8 and the name tannaradevi (244) reminds of kitfg Kaggaraddr*,
whom Mr. Yenkayya has satisfactorily identified with the Bashtrakuta king Krishna
III.* To the name of each woman is prefixed the name of the temple or village, to which
she had been attached before her final transfer to the 3Mjarajcvara temple. On the basis
of these references, and of the names of part of the women themselves, which allude to
temples and villages, we can draw up a list of temples which were already in existence
1 THs is a Tamil form of the Sanskrit XrtmatH * one who knows
2 /.#., *' (he who resembles) a Yidvadharti (in beating) the small drum."
Tlie same place is mentioned in lines 158 and 421 of the large I>yden grant,
4 This name is perhaps connected with Tirimtfairnarudftr, a sacred place in the Kombhaku^am tUhiqa,
ch is referred to in the Ptriyapwrto**.

NO. 67, QN THE OTTTSIDE OP THE KORTH EtfCLOSTJBE.
This inscription is dated in the 6th year of the reign of KS-ParakSsarivarman, alias
R&j6ndradva, and opens with a short poetical account of the deeds of this king, from.
which we learn that he inyadeci Irattap^di, i".*., the Western Chlukya empire, and that
he defeated AhayamaUa at Eoppam on the bank of the " great -river." As I have stated
in the introductory remarks of the Tafijivftr inscription of Kul&ttunga (afe, page 232)^ tlie
hattle of Koppam or Koppai is referred to in the Kalingattw-Param (viii. 27)^* and " oppam
on the bank of the great river " appears to be identical with Koppa on the TungS river
in the Haisftr State. I have further suggested that the R&j6ndrad6va of the subjoined
inscription is identical with the father-in-law of Kuldttunga I., and Ihavamalk with the
' "Western Chalukya king S6m^^vara I. The last identification is supported by two unpub-
lished inscriptions of the 4th year of the reign of Mjndradgva in the R&jag6pala-Peruinfil
temple at Manimangalam s and in the Bilvan&th6vara temple at Tiryvallam,* where Ahava-
malla is expressly called a Chalukya ($alukki). I defer the pubEcation of the long ttod
difficult historical introduction of the Manimangalam and Tiruvallam Inscriptions for another
opportunity, but subjoin, for comparison, the introductions of seven other inscriptions of
Raj6ndrad6va, which resemble the introduction of his TafijSvur inscription. Three of these
inscriptions (A, B and G) state that, after the conquest of Irattap&JI, E^ndrad6ra set up a
pillar of victory (jaya-*twd>ha) at Kollapuram, A, K6Mpur. Another of the same seven
inscriptions (G) gives the name of the king not as BAj&idradSva, but as Rftj6ndrarCb61a-
dSva, a point which deserves special attention, because those who are not accustomed to dis-
tinguish between the numerous Ch6ks, Oiftlukyw and G^ngas who bore id^nticd or similar

The immediate object of tlie Tafijavftf inscription of Rftj&idradSva is to record that, in
t V 4th rear of his reign, the king assigned a daily allowance of paddy to a troop of actors
who had to per form a drama, entitled Rdjaraje&ar&ndtaka, in the R^jarajS^vara temple
<n the occasion of an annual festival in the month of Yaigagi. iVo years later, in the 6th
year of his reign, the king further ordered that his previous donation should be engraved
on the stone wall of the temple. .
I cannot say if manuscripts of the Rdjar&je&vara*ndtaJca still exist } but it may be safely
Kwludetl from the wording of the title that the subject of this drama was the foundation of
thi* Taiij&viir temple by the great Rajarftja. It also follows frqm the mention of the
term T!ih:Ij*a^ava in an inscription of Jajndradya that this king belonged to a later period
than that of Rajaraja and> consequently, of the latter's son and successor Rfijndra-Ch&la,
Though this posteriority of Kajadrada is already evident from the more recent forpi of the
..VijVt of liis inscriptions and from certain synchitonisms between the ChOlas and CMlu-
kys ? * f consider it necessary to draw attention to the direct proof afforded \)j tne present

1. Hail ! Prosperity ! While the army of his elder brother was at (his} back, the king
{who wielded) the sceptre (and) was embraced by (tte goddess of) Prosperity, conquered the
seven and a half lakshas of Irattapftdi. (He) did not meet with opposition i* battle; and
{his) drum was sounding through the eight directions. Having heard (this) report, (Ahava*
roalla) proceeded to Koppam on the bank of the great rivflr and fought against (him). (But
he) converted into reeking corpses (thai) covered the earth, the whole warlike army of
JLhavamalla. Having perceived this, A.havamalla became afraid, incurred disgrace, and
ran away. (The Iciyig) seized his elephants apd horses, troops of camels, women and treasures,
and anointed himself (in commemoration) of the victory. In the sixth year (of i^e reign) of
(this) J6-Paraksarivarnian, alias the lord Sri-Ejndrad6va, who was graciously
seated on the throne of heroes,
2. "In accordance with our declaration to make an allowance at the rate of (me) tw of

was engraved on stone. * f

treasury one share of one hundred and twenty kalam of paddy per year, or (one) t&m of pftddy

This inscription is dated in the 4th year of the reign of Ed-ParakSsarivarman,

This man was evidently a controlling officer who had to check the supplies of paddy, which,
according to many of the inscriptions published in this volume, had to bo delivered into the
temple stores.

ADDITIONAL TANJAVUB INSCRIPTIONS.
The order of the king is preceded by a poetical account of his deeds. Though this
passage i*, on the wfcole, of a purely panegyrical character, it contains a few statements
wbkh appear to be based on historical facts. While still a youth, -probably only heir. .
o-M-ntV- Yikrama-Cli&la is said to have put to flight the Telinga Bhlma of Eulam, to
hUe burnt the Kalinga country, and to have stayed in the YSngai-mandalam, .., the
Y*6gl country. In my Annual Report for 1893-94, page 6, I have noticed some inscrip-
tions of the chiefs of Eamaiakarapura or (in Telugu) Eolanu, which is probably the
modern El lore 1 on the bank of the Kolleru lake in the Gddiwrl district.^ The earliest
kiuArn member of this family is Otaina-Nayaka, who is mentioned in two inscriptions of
Haka 10C2 and 1070 at Draksh^ma (Nos. 204 and 347 of 1893). The same chief is the
donor of a copper-plate grant of aka 1056, which has been published by Dr. Fleet. 2 He is
tb^re staked to have beea the lord of Sarasipurl or E olanu 3 on the bank of a great lake
(/vz., the Kolleru lake) in the Y6ngi-mandala and to have been a vassal of Eiil6ttunga
I L As the Tanj-lvftr inscription of Yikrama-Ch61a connects the YMgai-mandalam with
Kul am, whosQ lord Btlma was put to flight by the king, and as the Tamil word 'Jculam, ' a
tank/ is etymologically identical with the Telugu Jcolanu, 'a lake, 5 it may be safely con-
tfcded that the Telifiga Bhima'of the Tanjavftr inscription belonged to the same dynasty as
lO<i:L^-X5vjika of Kolanu.
After his stay in the Y^ngai-mandalam, the subjoined inscription informs -us, Yikrama-
CfaSla went to the South and claimed the crown of the country on the banks of the E&v6ri,^
i> n tlie Ch&la country. The passage which conveys this information, is also met with in
t"-e in^riprions of Eul6ttunga I. 4 As none of the predecessors of EulSttunga I. bore the
:..<\,~r Yikz.isa-Ch&la, it is clear that the passage in question was taken over by the composer
of Y;k^:r:a-Cbola*s inscriptions from those of EulSttunga L, and that, in trying to identify
the Yikrama-Ch6Ia of the present inscription, we must look for him among the successors of
rC-:'/:ti;:.g2 I. The only Yibrama-Ch61a who is known from other sources but the subjoined
iB^eriptioa, riir., from a copper-plate grant 6 and from a Tamil chronicle, 6 was the immediate
successor of KulSttufiga I. I have no hesitation in identifying this Yikrama-ChSla, who
reigned from aka 1034 to 1049, 7 with the king of the jsame name to whose reign the
Tufijuvar inscription belongs. A confirmation of the identity of both may be derived from
verse 24 of the third inscription 8 on the Pithpuram pillar :

No. 68. INSCRIPTION OF VIKRAMA-CHOI-A. 30?
"When lie (viz., Vikrama-Choda), whose other name was TyigaBamudra, had \
gone to protect the Ch6da-mandala, the Yngi countiy became devoid of a ruler iu
that interval."
Here we have an independent variant of the statement, made in the Tafijavftr inscrip-
tion, that Vitrama-Chdla originally resided in Vngi and that he left it to ascend the Choi a
throne. Another point of agreement is still more decisive : Mr. Yenkayya informs me that,
in his copy of the Tan j ore MS. of the Vil-kirama-Sora^Uld^ the surname TTtLsasair.udra
is twice applied to Vikrama-Chfila. 1
Finally the Tanjavtlr inscription acquaints us with the names of two queens, Muk-
kSkkir&nadi and Tyftgapat&ktL The former, whom the poet compares to the goddess
Pftrvati, was evidently Yikrama-ChGla's chief queen, and the second, who is compared to
Granggt, his favourite.
The text of the historical introduction has been compared with that of two similar
inscriptions of Yikrama-Ch61a, one of the 5th year of his reign in the Tyagaraja temple
at Tiruv&rur in the Negapatam t&LLuqa (]S"o. 164 of 1894) and another of the llth year in
the ApatsaMy^vara temple 2 at Alangudi in the Kumbhak6nam taUuqa(No. 165 of 1894).
Other inscriptions of Vikrama~Ch61a open with a much shorter historical introduction, the
first words of which are L^LD/T^/ L/*8orjr y viz.) one of the 9th year in the ArulSla-PerutnSl
temple at Tiruvattiylr or Little Conjeeveram (No. 33 of 1893), one of the same year and
one of the 14th year at Pallet varam in the Chingleput tdlluqa. These inscriptions mention
the burning, or conquest, of the Kalinga country 3 and the name of one of Yikrama-
ChSla's queens, viz., MukkSkkirsinadi, and must, accordingly, belong to the time of the
same king as the other set, the introductions of which open with the words ^iD/r3a> tfiswc-.*^.
Thanks to the calculations of Mr. 8. B. Dikshit and Professor Kielhorn, I am able to
state the probable day of the accession of Yikrama-Ch&la. The third line of the
Tiruv&rftr inscription to which reference was made in the preceding paragraph, contains
the following date :
rBirorr
u ln the fifth year (of the reign) of K&-Paraksarivarman, alio9 the emperor of the
three worlds, ri-Yikrama-Ch&ladva, on the three-hundred-and-fortieth day, which
was (the day of) Attain (i.e., the nakshatra Hasta), a Sunday, and the seventh titKot the first
fortnight of the month of Mithuna."
On this date Mr. Dikshit remarks as follows 4 : " Assuming that Yikrama-Ch61a began
to reign in A.D. 1112, his 5th year would be about A.D. 1116. Having made calculations
for 1115, 1116 and 1117, I find that A.D. 1116 is the only year which corresponds with the
details of the given date. In that year, IshMha Suite 7 ended on Sunday, the 18th June,
at about 21 hours after sunrise. This was the 25th day of the solar month Mithuna. On

No. 69. - OST THE OUTSIDE OP THE EAST ENCLOSURE.
This inscription and the next following one (No. 70) are engraved on the right of the
entrance to the second gopura* The inscription No. 69 consists of a list of villages which
Ihad to supply treasurers, servants and accountants to the Bftjar^jesvara temple, in accord-
ance with an order which Rjar,jadva had issued before the 29th year of his reign.
r;.rugra:i 1 states that these villages were situated in theChfila country, in the Psindya
country, and in Tondai-n&du which was sumamed Jayankonda-Ch61a-mandalam.
Tondai-n&lu or Tontdai-mandalam is the ancient Tamil name of the Pallava country. 5
In Sanskrit inscriptions it occurs as Tondira-mandala, Tundlra-mandala, and
T-r^ika-vishaya.* The present inscription proves that Jayankonda-Ch&la-manda-
lam, which is referred to in many inscriptions, 7 is another name of Tondai-mandalam.
Jayafcfconda-Ch&la, from which this term is derived, must have been a surname of
EufarSja or of one of his predecessors. In the Madras Christian College Magazine for October
1890, Mr. Tenkayya has shown that proper names, of which Jayankonda-ChSla forms the
first member, do not occur in inscriptions previous to the 29th year of Bftjar&ja's reign,
and concludes from this fact that Jayankonda-ChSla was a surname of EajarSja himself,
assumed by him towards the close of his reign. The same surname was subsequently

!N T 0. 70. ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE EAST ENOLOSUBE.
This inscription consists of a list of villages in the ChOla country, which had to supply
watchmen for the temple, in accordance with an order which Bajarajadva had issued
talore the 29th year of his reign. The last paragraph (114) states that, owing to want of
spuee, the inscription is continued on the south of "the gate of Rljaraj a," i.e., on the left
ui the entrance to the second gtpura. This missing portion is identical with the inscription
Xo. 57, which professes to be the continuation of an incomplete inscription on the north of
* the gate of fiajaraja," i.e., on the right of the entrance to the second gipwra.

The rock-ent aiva shrine at Vallam near Chingleput 8 bears two Tamil inscriptions,
OEC oi them, which belongs to the 13th century AJX, is engraved on the lower portion of
the right h r-^iHur.* It records the gift of a lamp in the 14th year of Sakalabhuvana-
fhakravartia Kopperufijingadgva 5 (z.e., K6-Perum-Simliadva) to the temple of
Vayaadi&ua (i.e., VasantMvara) at Yallam in Valla-nadn, (a subdivision) of
Kalattftr-kfittam. 6 The second, very archaic inscription is engraved on the upper por-
tions of both door-pillars and records that the temple was built by Skandasna 5 the son of
V .s-i t t w iT.r:y,raja, who was a vassal of Mali6ndrap6tarft]a. From the later inscription of

his father Vasanta. Malindrap&tar&j a, whose vassal Vasanta professes to be, must have
been a Pallava king. This is already suggested by the first part of his name, which occurs
twice in the list of the Pallavas, as far as it is known (Yol. I, p. 11). The second part of the
king's name, PStarlja, 1 forms part of lvarap&tar&ja, 2 as the Pallava king Param^raravarman
T is called in a grant of Vikram&ditya I. (Vol. I, p. 145), and of Nandip6tar.jV "which is
used as an equivalent of Nandivarrnan in the KaSakMi plates (No, 73 below, line 90).
Finally, the Urudas which the king receives in the Yallam cave-inscription, have their
parallels in other Pallava inscriptions. With LaliUnkura compare Lalita and Naytakuia
in the Dharrnaraja Eatha inscriptions (Vol. I, p. 3). Satrumalla and Gunabhara occur
also in the two cave-inscriptions on the Trichinopoly rock (Vol. I, p. 29). Though lirudw
are a somewhat unsafe basis for identification, it may be provisionally assumed that both
the Trichinopoly cave-inscriptions of Gunabhara, alias Satrumalla, and the Yallam
cave-inscription of MaMndrapOtaraja belong to one of the two Pallava kings called
Mahndravarman, a.*., to the first half of the seventh century of our era. 4

On the 30lh April 1891, Professor Julien Vinson, of Paris, was good enough to send
a reprint l of his paper Specimen de PaUograpUe Tamoule, which contains an analysis
of, and extracts from, the subjoined copper-plate inscription. The original plates had been
discovered in 1879 at Katfftkftdi, 4 kilometres from Efcaikkftl (Karikal), 2 by M. Jules de
la Fon, of Pondicherry. Professor Yinson's paper, which is based an a tracing prepared by
M. de la FOD, convinced me of the importance of the inscription and induced me to apply
through Government to His Excellency the Governor of the French Settlements in India for
a loan of the original plates. This request was most graciously and promptly complied with,
After I had transcribed the plates and prepared impressions of them, they were returned to
their present owner.
The Ka&ktidi copper-plates, eleven in number, are strung on a ring. On this i&
soldered the royal seal, with the figure of a bull which faces the left and is surmounted by a
linga. The bull was the crest of the Pallavas, 5 while their banner bore the figure of Siva's
club (khatv&ngaY The Grantha and Tamil characters of the inscription resemble those of
the Kfiram plates (Yol. I, No. 151). The major portion of the inscription is in the
Sanskrit language (lines 1 to 104), The particulars of the grant are repeated, with consider-
able additions, in the Tamil language (11. 104 to 133), The concluding portion of the inscrip-
tion is again in Sanskrit (11. 133 to 138), with a short parenthetical note in Tamil (1. 137).
The immediate object of the inscription is to record the grant of a village, made in the
22nd year of the reign (11. 80 and 105) of the Pallava king Nandivarman (verses 27 and
30, and 1. 79). As in other Pallava copper-plate inscriptions, the grant proper is preceded
by a panegyrical account of the king's ancestors, which adds a large number of new details
to our knowledge of the Pallava history. After nine benedictory verses, the author names
the following mythical ancestors of the Pallava dynasty :
Brahma (v. 10).
Angiras (11).
Brihaspati (12).
i "
6amyn (13).
Dr6na(l5).

varman, Kal[i]ndavarman, Kanag6pa, YishnugSpa, Virakfl[r]eiia, Ylrasimha"
Bimhararman, Vishnusimha and others (L 48 f.). Some of these names' actually occur
in the inscriptions of that ancient branch of the Pallavas, whose grants are dated from
Palakkada, DaSanapura and KaficMpura, w a ., Skandavarman, Simhararman,
YishnugOpavarnuin, 1 and VIrakSrchavarman. 2 The Amar&vatt pillar-inscription
(Vol. I, No. 32) mentions two kings named Simhavarman. But the order in which these
names are enumerated, is completely different in each of the three available sources for the
history of tho early Pallavas, viz., the Amardrati pillar, the early copper-inscriptions, and the
prose introduction of tho Ka&iktidi plates* For this reason, and on account of the summary
manner in which the early kings are referred to by the author of the Kasaktdi inscription,
it is a mistake to derive a regular pedigree from the latter, as was done by Professor Yineoa
(Lc., p. 453) ; and it mast bo rather concluded that, at the time of Nandivarman, nothing
was known of the predecessors o Shhhavishrm, but the names of some of them, and that the
order of their succession, and tlunr relation, to each other and to the subsequent line of Simha-
vishnu, were then entirely forgotten.
With verse 20 we outer on historical ground. The list of kings from Simhavislmu to
the immediate predecessor of Naudivarman agrees with the UdaySndiram plates of Kandi-
varman Pallavamalla (No. 74). Simhavishnu appears to have borne the surname
Avanisimha, and is atatod to have defeated the Malaya, Eajabhra, M&lava, Ghdla,
PS,ndya, Siihhuju und ICfiraJu Icing*.
Ills sucuoHHor MuhftiHlra varman I. " annihilated his chief enemies at Pullalftra"
(v. 21). The *c,liHif oncmirtt' were probably the Chalukyas, who, in their turn, consi-
dered the Palluvas their 4 natural enemies.' 3 As Puljaltir is the name of a village in the
Conjcevenun tsilluqa,' 11 it upprans that tho Ohalukya army had made an inroad into tho
Pallava domiuiotiH, l>ofoi*o it was repulsed by MaHtodravarman I.

and the conquest of Ceylon, the identity of Naraslha and Narasimhavarman I. can hardly be
doubted. As, however, the latest date of PdikMin II. is A.D. 642, 1 the accession of
MaBavarama must have taken place about half a century before A.D. 691. a
' Xo details are given about the reign of Narasimhavar man's son MahSndra varman II.
The latter was succeeded by his son Paramgsvarap6tavarman L who, as we know from
the Efiram and Uday&idiram plates, defeated the Western Chalukya king VikramSdity a I.
sit PeruvalanalMr. The Kafidkftdi plates do not contain any historical information about
him, nor about his son Narasimhavarman II. and his grandson Param6iivarap6ta-
varman II.
According to the UdaySndiram plates, the next king, ITandi varman, was the son of
Paramgvaravarman II. The KafiSkftdi plates contain an entirely different account of
Nandivarman's parentage. In line 72, he professes to be " engaged in ruling the kingdom
of Paramvarap6tar&ja;" and in verse 27, he i& said to be ruling, at the time of the
inscription, the kingdom of Param&s varapStavarman II., <?., to have succeeded or sup-
planted the latter on the throne, and to have been " chosen by the subjects." This plebiscite
may have taken place after the death of the legitimate king; or, more probably, Nandivarman
may have been an usurper who ousted and destroyed him and his family. At any rate, he
was a remote kinsman of his predecessor. For, he was the son of Hirany a (verses 9 and 30}
by EShinl and belonged to the branch (vary a) of Bhima (verse 30), According to verse
28, this branch of Bhima took its origin from Bhlmavarman, who was the younger brother
of Simhavishnu. The names of three princes who intervened between Bhlmavarman and
Hiranya, are recorded in the same Terse. The name Hirany avarma-Maliftr&j a occurs
several times in a much obliterated inscription of the Vaikuntha-PerumSl temple at
K&ichipuram. At the beginning of this inscription, Param6varappOttaraiyar of the
Pallava-vamga is mentioned as deceased (sixMyfistAa). It is therefore hot improbable
that the inscription recorded the accession of Hiranyavarman or of his son Nandivarman after
the death of Paramvarap6tavarman II. The latter may have been the founder of the
Yaikuntha-Pernml temple, which is called Param&Svara-Vishnugriha, i.e.,' the Vishnu
temji^ inscription of the Yaikuntha-Perumal temple. 3 With the

Other forms of the name Nandivarman are N"andip6taraja (1. 90) and simply Nandin
(1. 88). The form ISTandip&tavarman occurs in the Vakkaleri plates, 1 which refer to the
defeat of the Pallava ting by the "Western Chalukya king Vikramadity a II., and the form
Nandipp6ttaraiyar in an inscription of his 18th year in the Ulagalanda-Perumll
temple at Kanohlpuram. 8 He hore the sovereign titles Mahdrdja and Rdjddhirdja-parametiara
and the Urudas Kshatriyamalla, Palla-vamalla (1. 78), and firidhara (verse 29).
According to verse 30, he was a devotee of Vishnu. At the request of his prime-minister
(1. 89), Brahmailriraja (I. 91) or Brahmayuvaraja (11. 103 and 106), the king gave
the village of Kodukolli (11. 99, 105 f .) to the Brdhmana Jy&5hthapada-S6mayajia (1. 93)
or (in Tamil) ^ttirenga-S6mayajin (1. 108 f.), who belonged to the Bharadvaja (L 94)
or Bharadva-ja (1. 108) g6tra, followed the ChhanddgasMra (11. 94 and 108), and resided

PALLAVA INSCRIPTIONS.
To the Sansirit portion is affixed a Tamil endorsement (1. 104 L), "which directs the
inhabitants of #rrukkattu-k8ttam to execute the order of the king. The subsequent
Tamil passage (1. 105 ft) records that, on receipt of the royal order, the representatives of
trrutkattu-k^ttam marked the boundaries of the granted village under the guidance of their
headman/ and formally assigned all rights to the donee. Another Tamil sentence (1. 132 f.)
states that the grant was executed in the presence of the local authorities (?), the ministers
and the secretaries.
Then follow, in Sanskrit, three imprecatory verses (1, 133 f.) and the statement that the
document was written by His Majesty's great treasurer (1. 136). The inscription ends with
a docket in Tamil (1. 137) and a few auspicious Sanskrit words.

black and vhite colour, (an A) thrill with joy at the expansion (of the eyes) of Sri and Gaurt,
(which emit) coquettish glances (resembling) arrows !
(3.) Hay Padina 'Lsfehrni) regard you with fondness, who is seated on a lotus ; whose
pair of lotus hands is resplendent with a lotus ; (and) whose excellent bath (w poured from)
golden jars which are held by the trunks of (two) female elephants !
(0.) May that blessed IryS (Pdrvati), the sister of Vishnu, instantly remove dire adver-
eitr, whom Cupid does not approach, out of fear, it seems, because he has observed the
(third) eye on (her) forehead (and therefore takes her) for t^vara !
(7.)* May Yindvaka (Ganglia) grant you freedom from obstacles, who is as white as the
Kailasa (mountain), whose girdle consists of a huge serpent, who has the face of an elephant,
whose ears are large, who has a single big tusk, (and) whose eyes are (half closed as if lie
were) under the influence of rut !
(S.) May the race of the glorious Pallavas be protected for a long time by the
supreme lords, those twofold 3 gods whom (they, vist., the Pallavas) have worshipped with
traditional devotion, (vis) the gods in heaven who timely reward gifts, sacrifices and
austerities, (and) the gods on earth 4 who are engaged in the six duties, whose blessings
are true, (and) who practise self-control !
(9.) The earth, surrounded by the rolling ocean, is conquered by the lord of men,
who is the son of Hiranya (and) the lord of prosperity, whose crest is the bull, (and) the
elephants of whose army ward off enemies. 5
Hail 1 Adoration to r! ! (10.) First, from the lotus which rose from the navel of Vishnu,
was born the Creator, whose origin is the (supreme) Brahman ; who is self-existent ; who fully
knows the meaning of the sacred texts ; (and) who has performed the creation of the whole
world.
(11.) From him was born at the sacrifice a son o the mind alone, 6 Angiras, who
fully carried out his promises ; who was more brilliant than fire ; who, being sinless, put an
end to sin ; who, being the chief of seers, obtained a place among the Seven Seers ; who
reached (the highest degree of) austerities that can be desired ; (and) who was the best axe for
cutting the tree of ignorance.
(12.) From this Angiras (came Brihaspati), who was an ocean of speeches (and) the
father of politics ; whom (Indra) the lord of the gods 7 (and ) elder brother of TridMman

This verse refers, -without mentioning the name itself, to king Nandivarman, whose father was
Hiranya ; see verses 28 and 30. The epithets which the king receives in the first half of the verse, are at the
ame time surnames of Brahma, YishnTi and iva, and thus hint a comparison of the king to each of these
tliree gods, A& the SAhityadarpam (pp. 103 and 107 of the Calcutta edition) expresses it, 'the ornament of

(Vishnu), made his preceptor (guru) ; (and) relyingon the power of whose intent, the M*-
tial women enjoy at ease amorous pleasures, without thinking of the rising aad wttin- of
the sun. . *
(13.) From him was born the fortunate (and) modest Sainyu, who destroyed .in (/>
resembled the sun m brilliancy. When Fire had disappeared, (^ became the fire of the
gods and performed even the action of fire through his own power.
(14.) His son was a sage called Bharadv^ja, who became the founder of the race
(gdtra) of the glorious Pallavas by the power of (his) virtues, (and) who mastered the three
Vdas, which resemble mountains, by (his) austerities.
(15.) From him came Dr6na, the preceptor 1 of the Kurus, who was re: l:i~?l from
the semen 2 (of Bharadvja) in a pitcher called drona ; whose -victorious banner was *m
altar painted on the skin of a black-buck; (and) who completely mastered (the four * \ "'
of) the science of archery, 5 which resemble the four oceans.
(16.) From him came the sage AsvatthSinan, who was an incarnation of (&va) the
enemy of Cupid; who deserved the confidence of the inhabitants of the world ; (and) at the
rising of whose anger, Krishna, Arjuna and Bhlma became terrified (and) threw down
(their) weapons without any opposition.
(17.) The glorious Pallava, (during whose rule) the earth was untoucliel (even) by the
smallest calamity, 4 was suddenly born to him on a litter of sprouts ff'.JrvQ)* by (the nymph)
Mnak&, 6 that had been sent to him by $akra (Indra), who was afraid of (losing) his posi-
tion (on account of the sage's austerities).
(18.) Though born from a race of Br^hmanas, he possessed in the highest degree
the valour of the Kshatriyas, which was inherent in him. Does not the thunderbolt
possess by nature the quality of burning, though it springs from the cloud ?
(19.) From him was produced AS 6 kavarman, who removed the distress of s::pj,I!^i.t
kings, (but) who distressed those who faced (Mm) in battle, (and) who, though bright a* the
moon, possessed a spotless fame (while the moon has a spot).
(Line 34.) From him descended the powerful, spotless race of the Pallavas, which
resembled a partial incarnation of Yishnu, as it displayed unbroken courage in c v- lu.rls
the circle of the world with all its parts, (and) as it enforced the special rules of all castes
and orders, and which resembled the descent of the GangS (o* earth), as it purified the
whole world.
(Line 37.) All (the kings) sprung from this (race) possessed power that was OTC-JV -:

sias of the Kali age. Their extremely noble conduct and constant prosperity increased the
affection of the crowd of their friends. 1 The beauty of their forms became the snare, in
irhieh, like deer, the hearts of young women (were caught}. Their fame, like the fragrance
of sandul trees, was rcrrr-disg the southern region. The shadow of their (royal parasol)
could not be crossed by the power of other (king*), just as the beauty of the celestial trees
cannot be surpassed by the splendour of other (trees). They were full of splendour and kind
to ether*, (and therefore) resembled the sun whose rays are beneficial to men. They ex-
porieneei an increase (dgama) of the affection (pratyaya) of (their) subjects (prakriti), and
: <-^.-! blameless lie-lies (rritidhi) and virtues (guna), (and therefore) resembled the science
of zrzrz-rjr. in which crude forms (prakriti), affixes (pratyaya) and augments (dgama) are
treated, (lit) in which (the rides on) guna and vriddhi are (not) without exceptions
(<*pzvidi)s They gave delight (nandana), but were without enemies (apa-ari-jdta) ; while
the Xandaaa (garden) contains the pdrijdta (tree). Though full of learning (ffhandgama),
they were not dull (jada) ; while the rainy season (glianagama) brings water (Jala). As
India the heaven, (these) lords of the earth enjoyed the whole earth, which is bounded by
the Chakrarula mountain (and) adorned by the seven continents and seven oceans.
(Line 45.) Among these have passed away in bygone times [S] kandavarman, Ka-
IjTjnd avai-man, Kanag&pa, VishnugSpa, Virakft[r]eha, Ylrasimha, Simhavar-
man, Yisiiiiisiniha and other kings, who won great battles by (a knotvledge of) the science
of aU weapons, whose valour was immeasurable, who had received by inheritance (the 'practice
of) meritorious acts, who destroyed (the sins of) the Kali (age\ whose minds were learned,
whose bodies bore auspicious marks, who preserved (their) fame (free from blemishes), whose
shoulders were fit to bear the whole earth, who were (evil) comets to (their) enemies, who
conferred honours on (their) friends, (and) who were the barriers of all good conduct.
(Terse 20.) Thereafter came Simha[vishnu], the lion of the earth (AvanisimRa),
wbo was engaged in the destruction of enemies, (and) who vanquished the Malaya,
Kalabhra, Malava, Chola and PSndya (kings), the Simhala (ting) who was proud
i>f the strength of his arms, and the Kferalas.
(21.) Then the earth was ruled by a king called MahSndravarman, whose glory
resembled that of Mahfendra, whose commands were respected (by all), (and) wh.o annihilated
(his) chief enemies at Pullalftra.
(22.) From him was born the victorious hero 2s"arasimhavarman, who surpassed the
glory of the valour of R&ma by (his) conquest of LanM, who was a comet (that foreboded)
destruction to the crowd of proud enemies, (and) who imitated the pitcher-born (Agastya)

NO. 74. TlDAYENDiaAM PLATES OF
This inscription has been already published by the Rev. T. Foulkcs in tli- hi /A**
Antiquary ( Vol. VIII, p. 273 f.) and in the Manual of the Sakm Dwtrict (Vol. II, p. 355 f i. ),
The original plates, together with the originals of four other eop^r-plute inscriptions" which
were also edited by Mr. Foulkes, are preserved at Udaygndiram, a village at the south-
western extremity of the Gudiyatam tSUuqa of the North Arcot district, and were kindly
borrowed for me from their present owner by Mr. F. A. Nicholson, I.C.S., Acting Collector
of North Arcot. The present whereabouts of two other coppe-r-r^te inscriptions frum
TJdaygndiram, 10 of which Mr. Toulfces obtained transcripts in the Telngn character,
I was nnable to ascertain. According to Mr. Fonlkes, these two insmptions^form^ part
of a find of "five, or, by another account, seven sets of co rP er- r h- msenptums, which
was made in 1850 in a subterranean chamber in the Brihrnana itt .tL day *ndi rain.
Mr Foulkes then believed that the remaining three or five sets of the find were L-t. ^ A,,

of the >r;veu sets discovered at Uday&idiram in 1850.
T< - - :r . : ? .* --s which bear the subjoined inscription, are five in numLer. "WTien they
r^'hed my hands, they were strung on a ring, which is cut and bears a circular seal. This
contain*, in high relief* on a counter-sunk surface, a recumbent bull, which faces the proper
ri^ht and i? placed on a pedestal between two lamps. Over the bull is a seated figure on a
pedestal, and between two symbols which I cannot make out. The diameter of the seal is
S[ inches, and that of the ring 4 to 4| inches. The ring is about f inch thick. A com-
parison of this description of the ring and seal with that given by Mr. Foulkes in the first
r-nrrtTt of his edition of the plates, suggests that, when he examined the plates, they
were "32*- n7?.ni?I by a different ring and seal. Besides, the seal which is now attached
to the plates, does not resemble the seals of other Pal lava grants, but is closely allied to
the seal of the Uday&idiram plates of the Bfma king Vikramaditya II. (ilr. Foulkes'
Xu. Y) and of the Ganga-Bana king Prithivipati IL Hastimalla (No. 76 below). 1 I
therefore believe that it may have originally belonged to one of the two Udayndirum grants
of the Buna dynasty, which are now missing (Mr. Foulkes' grants B and C), and that the
original seal-ring of the Pallava plates may have been attached by mistake to one of these
two grants and lost along with the latter.
The inscription consists of two distinct portions, a grant of the Pallava king Nandi-
varman Pallavamalla in the Sanskrit language and the Grantha character (IL 1 to
105), and a short inscription of the time of the Chfila king Madirai-konda K6-
Parakt-sarivarman in the Tamil language and character (11. 105 to 109), which, however,
looks as if it had been written by the same hand as the first or Pallava part of the
inscription. Further, the Grantha and Tamil alphabet of both portions of the inscription
is considerably more modern than that of other Pallava grants, and even than that of
two other copper-plate inscriptions of Madirai-konda K6~Paraksarivarman. 2 Conse-
quently, the plates are either a forgery, or they are a copy, made at a later date, of two
inscriptions, one of Xandivarman PaUavamalla, and one 3Iadirai-konda K6-Paruksari-
varman, the originals of which are not within our reach.
The Sanskrit portion of the inscription records that, in the twenty-first year of his
reign (1.38), the Pallava king Xandivarinan (v. 4, IL 36 f. and 87 f.) ? surnamed Palla-
vamalla (11 36, 46 and 47), granted a village to one hundred and eight Brahmanas (1.
C4 f.). This grant was made at the request of one of his military officers or vassals, named
tdayaehandra (v. 1 and L 61), who belonged to the race of Pflchdn (v. 2, 1. 45 f. aiid
v. 7), that had been in the hereditary service of the Pallava race, and who resided at the
city of Vilvala (v. 2 and L 44) on the river Vgavati (1. 41). This river passes Conjee-
veram, and falls into the Pdliru near the village of Villivalam, 5 which accordingly must
be the Tamil original of Yilvala, the Sanskrit name of the capital of Udayachandra. The
three -r-Miirgr verses refer to the god Saduaiva. the chief TJdayachandra, and the race
of the Pallavas, respectively. Then follows, in prose, a genealogy of the reigning Pallava
king, the mythical portion of which (1. 8 ff .) contains the following names :

The list of the historical descendants of Pallaya from Siibhavishnu to Pa ra
varavarman II. (1. 11 ff.) need not be repeated here, because it agrees with the Iwt in the
ETaSakftdi plates (p. 344), and because the battles which yarasiihhavarman I. ami
Param^raravarman L are reported to haye won, l were Dotired in the hitroJm>ii'*n
to the Kfrram plates (Vol. I, p. 145). A long prose passage (I. 19 fL) opens with the
words: " The son of this Param66varavarinan (IL) (was;;** is interrupted by verse* *
to 6, which refer to the Pallava king Xandivarinas; and appears to be taken up again
by the words: "His son was Nandivarman Pallaramalla'' {L 36 f.> Mr. Foulke*
concludes from this, that there were two successive PaU&ya kings of the name Xaudivarntan,
the second of whom was the son of the first and bore the distinctive suraanie PaHavamalla. 2
I do not think it probable that verses 4 to 6 are to be considered us forming one sentence
with, the first prose passage (L 19ff.), bnt wonld prefer to treat the** verses as a : ;:.../?. ->.
and the second prose passage (L 36 f.) as the end of the same sentence which begins with
the first prose passage. In this way we obtain only OK? Pallava king named
Nandivarman, who bore the surname Pallavamalln and was the oa of ParamfiSrm*
ravarman II. This statement is at variance with the Ka&lki-:!: ^!..*- *. according to which
ISTandivarman Pallavamalla was not the son. of his predecessor, but he! ag. j i to aa entirely
different branch of the Pallavas. Here is another point which ^r^Jt :-: !:; u^ to stamp the
TTday^ndiram plates as a forgery. For, it is difficult to understand !ij\v -no and the name
king conld call himself the son of his predecessor in an inscription of h:? zl< ye:ir, and the
son of somebody else in an inscription of his 22nd year. Two ^x? 1,:: -*." :.- 2i:i*jbt 9 fcuAv^ n ;
be attempted. Nandivarman may have thoaght it political to gi Li:iir.*!f out for thw
adopted son of his predecessor; or it may be assumed that, througrli ILCIV fareteMnei, the
scribe who drafted the inscription, used the wordfufw, *son ? ;li U* and S7> iriule be wanted
to represent Nandivarman only as a successor, and not as the son, i: rar:.i.^ :..:i;v:.. ;.. .u TT.
The most interesting portion of the inscription is the acevaut ..i the sc-rvi-Ci? which
TJdayachandra rendered to his royal master. When Pullaramaiia TO^ h>:eg.-l m

di?stri''t. Another of tht 4 m, Xel veil, is mentioned a second time immediately after, as the
]<laee cwir which V!.v. \j t .. \v. killed the Sahara king Udayana (1. 52). The Sabaras
are generally identilied with the modern Sauras, a hill-tribe in the Ganjdm and Y:ziaa7*r.ta:ri
district . A*% however, the diifercnt names of savage tribes are often treated as synonyms
ljr Sanskrit writer*, aud as the Tamil name Xelvli cannot possibly be located in the Telugu
di>tr;cts, it may be tint the author of the inscription is referring to one of the hill-tribes of
the Tamil country, and that Xelveli is meant for the modern Tinnevelly. 3 An additional
;r:rr *::::* in favour of this view is that, immediately after the description of the war
with the babaras, the author refers to UJayaclian drills achievements "in the Northern region
al<o/' He there pursued aud defeated the Xishada chief Prithivivyaghra, who was
performing an MrarnvJAa, and drove him out of the district of VishnurSja, which he
subjected to the Pallava king (1, 53 ff.). Nishuda is, like Sabara, one of the words by
which Sanskrit writers designate savage tribes. The district of Yiskouraja, which was
situated to the north of the Pallava country, can be identified with certainty. As
Xandivarman was a contemporary of the Western Chalukya king YikramSditya II. who
reigaed from A.D. 733-34 to 746-47,* he was also a contemporary of the Eastern Chalukya
king Vishnuvardhana III. whose reign is placed by Dr. Fleet between A.D. 709
and 746. 5 He is evidently the Vishnuraja of the Uday&adiram plates, 6 and his district
(rishaya) is the country of Vng! 3 over which the Eastern Chalukyas ruled. The last
two items in the list of Udayachandra's deeds are, that he destroyed the fort of ETSlidurga, 7
and that he defeated the Pandya army at the village of Mannaikudi (1. 59 ff.).
The grant which was made by Nandivarman Pallavamalla at the request of
Udayaehandra, consisted of the village of Kumaramangala- Vellattftr, which
belonged to the district called PaSehimarayanadi-vishaya 3 and of two water-levers
' V:L--..< ..'. .-:) in the neighbouring village of Korragrdma, which appear to have been added
in order to supply the former village with means of irrigation. As in the case of other
grants, the original name of the village was changed into Udayaehandramangalam in
commemoration of riryr.?hr.nira, at whose instance the donation was made (1. 62 ff.)- The
description of the boundaries of Udayaehandramangalam is given in great detail (1. 65 ff.).

The remainder of the prose portion enumerates the Brahmana doaoes (L 75 ff.)* who,
according to line 64, were one hundred and eight in number. The actual number of tho
donees is, however, sixty-three, and that of the shares one hundred and thirty -three. Tin**
discrepancy is a third point which suggests that the inscription may be a forgery*
Of the two concluding verses, the first (v. 7) refers to the race of Ptiehan, and the
second (v. 8) informs us that the inscription, which, like the Kiiram and K.i1!c *. *: inscrip-
tions, 4 is styled a eulogy (praasti, II. 101 and 105) ? was e^r =;? by the poet
Param6vara, who also received one of the shares of the granted village (1. 101 f.)*
The Tamil endorsement (L 105 ff.) is dated in the 26th year of the reign of Madirai-
konda K6-Paraksarivarman, i.e., of the Chula king Parantaka I., a and records
that the villagers of Udayachandramangalam agreed with those of the neitjrhb^uring
village of K,fiohiv&yil, 6 which was also called Igaumaraimangalam, to form one
Tillage of the two. Another copy of the Tamil endorsement has been added on the first,
originally blank side of the first plate of another Udayndirom grant. 7

Hail! Prosperity!
(Terse 1.) I bow my head devoutly to Sadailva, who is seated in the position of profound
meditation on the peak of the Suxndro. mountain for the welfare of the three worlds ; whose
two eyes are the sun and the moon ; who is united with Umil ; who has conferred splendour
on Udayaehandra; (and) who wears matted hair.
(F. 2*) Let frJTn remain for a long time, the glorious lord of Vilvalapura, the orna-
ment of the race of Pftehan, who has conferred the kingdom on the Pallava (king) on
many battle-fields, who is benevolent, who is a chastiser of hostile armies, (and) who is
renowned on earth !
(F< 3.) Let it remain in the world for a longtime, the race of the P alia vas, whose feet,
(fender*; as sprc^ts. are worshipped by kings ; whose hands, (tender) as sprouts, are bending
under the weight of the water (poured out) at donations ; (and) who have driven away (even)
the slightest calamity by the multitude of (tteir) excellent virtues !
(Line 8) From the supreme soul was produced BrahmS,; from Brahma, Angiras ;
f rom Angiras, Brihaspati; from Brihaspati, &amyu; f rom ^amyu, Bharadvaja; from
Bharadvctja, Brdna; from Drona, ASratthikman, the splendour of whose power was
immeasurable ; (and) from him, Pallava, who drove away (even) the smallest calamity from
(tit) race.
(L. 11.) In the race of Pallava, which, thus flourished in an uninterrupted line of
regular descent, (ro$ lorn) Simh^vishnu, a devout worshipper of Tishnu; from Siuiha-
vishnu, 3tlahndravarman whose valour equalled (that of) Mahndra; from him,
Xarasimhavarman, who destroyed (the city of) Vfitdpi, just as Agastya destroyed (the
demon) Vfttfipi, (#*</) who frequently conquered Vallabharaja at Pariyala, Mani-
mangala, Sfcramara and other (/>V-.Y). His son (was) another Mah^ndravarman.
From him (came) Paramvaravarman, who defeated the army of Vallabhain the battle

of Pei^iivalanallftr; from him, Narasinihavarman, who was a devout worshipper of
Mahdfraxa (and) a great patron of Biihmanas. His (son iww)the very pious Parami vara-
varman, whose beauty (dar&ana) surpassed (that of all other*), just as PanunWvan* (&va)
has (one) eye (dar&ana} more (than all others).
(L. 19.) The son of this Param^yarayarman (was) he who was E conqueror of all,
like Bharata; who was immoyable, like (Mount) M6ru; who broke the opposing (fwm nf
his) enemies by his own hands, as the sun breaks the opprsins (matw$ of) darkness by his
own rays ; who was yersed in all the fine arts (Jcald), just as the (ftttt-) moon i-c^w** all
digits (kaU)] who lowered the pride of J^riga, 3fala (of) Jfishadha, y^Ii fc *!:i, N.tt-h*jp.
Bhagiratha and other (kings) ; whose powerful right arm had become spotted by rfiowers of
streams of rutting-juice, which oozed from the temples (of the elephant*) of hostile kings ;
whose great fame, (which reset&bled) a group of white water-lilies, filled (all) quarters ; whose
lotus feet were rubbed by the multitude of the diadems of prostrate kings ; who resembled
Cupid in beauty, the king of Va tsa 1 in (the Jsnowkdge of) elephants, Nakuk in (the .'.'" - ' *
of) horses, Arjuna in (the me of) the bow, (and) IMna in archery ; who was versed in poems,
dramas and stories; who was skilled in the bindumatt^ yiidhaehahirthapdda^ ^r?V"W.
aksharachyutaJca, mdtrdthyutaka and similar (verm)? who was a trei*:i:y of policy, a vessel
of wealth, free from spots, a destroyer of the power of the Kali (aye), (and) devoted (10
liberality) as the E&lpaka (tree) $
(V. 4.) The virtuous Kandivarman, the lord of the Pailavas, () the death of
enemies, a Cupid to women, unconquerable by armies, rich in virtues, the refuge of ?aV- N,
(and) a Kalpa tree to good men.
(V. 5,) Breaking in battle an army of elephants by sharp arrows, this king, the lord of
men (and} hero in war, shines like the sun, the friend of the lotus, who gradually breaks
the mass of darkness by the bundles of (Ks) rays (and) rises orer the mountain. ^
( V. 6.) Until the end of the world, the favourite (ornaMtut*; on earth of this renowned
lord, the banner of the Pallavas, are the following : the victorious bow (**fcA i*) the
ornament of (Us) hand, (and) the rotting-juiee of hostile elephants at the head of battles,
(which is) the unguent of (his) body.
(L. 36.) His son 4 was Nandivarman, the lord of men, the lord of the arth, the
statesman, 5 the wrestler of the Pallavas (PaUavamaUa).
(L. 37.) While this lord of men was ruling the earth, in the year which was --Trr!rt:r.ff

NO. 75. OK A FIILAB AT UTYAKEO^DAN-TlRUMALAI.
This short inscription is engraved on a pillar in the south-east corner of the veranda
which surrounds the shrine of the Ujjivanatha temple at TJyyakkondas-Tirumalai,
a village 3 miles west of Triehinopoly. It records the gift of a perpetual lamp in the 34th
year of the reign of Madirai-konda K6-Paraksarivarman, {.., of the ChSla king
Par&xitaka I. 1 The donor was Pirintakae-llaldevadigalar, a queen of Pirinta-
laa-KandaradittadSvar. The only king with a similar name, of whom we know, is
Oauiaraiityavarman, the second son of ParSntata L* As the inscription belongs to
the time of Parantaka I. himself, and as it prefixes the word Pir&ntakan to the name of Kan-
dariLdittadvar ? 5 it is evident that Gandan\dityavarman ? the son of Parantaka I., is actually
meant here. The name Pariintaka also forms the first member of the name of the queen of
KandarAdittadSvar ; Pirantakaa-MadSv-adigaldr probably means 'the devotee (of the temple)
of HaMdSva, (founded by) Panmtaka (L).*
The hitherto published inscriptions of ParSntaka I. are dated in the 13th, 4 15th, 5
24th* and 26th T years of his reign* The latest sure date hitherto found is the 40th year
in an inscription of the PaSchanad^Svara temple at Tinivaiytlru. 8
The large Leyden grant (L 48 fL) states that Gandaradityavarman, the second son of
Pariintaka I., " founded, for the sake (of bliss) in another (world), a large village, (called)
by his own name, in the country on the northern bank of Kavera's daughter (*'.*., the Kvri
river)." This village appears to be identical with Gandar3,ditya-ehaturvdimanga-
lam, which is mentioned in several Tanjore inscriptions 9 as belonging to a district on the
northern bank (of the KavSrf), and with the modern Eandaradityam in the UdaiySrpalai-
yam talluqa. 1 * The fifth of the nine Saiva hymns known as Tiruvi&aippd was composed by
Kandaradittag, who calls himself 'king of the people of Tanjai/ t.e., Tanjore, and

on its ^rc-in !--! petals a oirr*uhr seal of about 2 inches in diameter. This seal, which I
have figured in the EpfyrajMa Imlica (Vol. HI, p. 104, Xo. 4 of the Plate), bears, in relief,
a bull couehant whii'h faces the proper right and is flanked by two ornamented lamp-
stands. Above the bull are an indistinct figure (rerhaps a ^-imtting male person) and a
orescent, and above these a parasol between two chnurts. Below the bull is the Grantha
legend Prulhnmtru,. From the Udayendirain plates of the Buna king Vikram&ditya IL*
we learn that his rr?at-ffraui?iiher had the name or surname Prabhumlru. The occurrence
of this name on the seal of the subjoined grant suggests that the Ganga king Prithivipati II.
adopted a Bsioa biruda and placed it on his seal when the Buna kingdom was bestowed on
him by the Ch51a king Parlntaka L As, however, the seal-ring had been already cut when
Mr. Foulkes examined the plates, the r visibility remains that, as in the case of the inscription
Ko. 7I ? S the present seal may have originally belonged to another set of plates ? perhaps to
those of V!kramM!tya II 4
The first five plates bear 28 Sanskrit verses in the Grantha alphabet. The alphabet and
language of the two last plates (and of a portion of the last line of plate Vb) is Tamil. A
few Tamil letters are used in the middle of the Sanskrit portion, rts., $ of Vaimbalgurim line
42, JD& of firipuzamliifa in line 45, and $ of Parivi in line 62. A few words in Sanskrit prose
and Grantha characters occur at the bernnnirg of plate /and at the end of plate VII (svasti
fri, 1. 1, and on namo Xdrdgandya, L 101).
The Sanskrit portion opens with invocations of Yishnu and Siva (verses 1 and 2).
The next few verses (8 to 11) contain a genealogy of the Chfila king ParSntaka I. Then
follows a genealogy of the Ganga-B Tina king Prithivipati IL surnamed Hastimalla
(TV, 12 to 23), and the information that, with the permission of his sovereign Parak^sariu
or Parantaka L, he granted the village of Kadaikk6ttur to the village of Uday gndu-
chaturvfcdimarigalam (vr. 24 to 26). Excluded from the grant was certain land which
belonged to the Digambara Jainas (v. 27 f. and 1. 97 f.). The Tamil portion contains a
minute d:-s:-r:pt:on of the boundaries ofEadaikkottfir and adds that the grant was made
by Sembiyaa-Mdvalivanaraya (Le., the Gunga-Bfma king Prithivipati IL) in the 15th
year of the reign of Madirai-konda Ko-Parakesarivarman (z.e., the Chola king
Parantaka L), and that the granted village was clubbed together with Udyafiandira-
mangalam into 0;w village, called Viranurayanachchriin commemoration of Parantaka's
surname Yiran&rayana.
The Chola genealogy (vv, 3 to 11) may be subdivided into three portions, m., mythi-
cal ancestor^ ancient Chfila kings, and direct predecessors of ParSntaka L The mythical
ancestors (v. 3) are Bra'ii::!, Marichi, Kufiyapa, the Sun, Rudrajit, Chandrajit and ibu
The fctsr first of these are named in the same order in the Udayendiram plates of Yira-ChQla*

(L 27 f.)- It wiU be observed that each of the four documents which record the Mines and
achievements of these ancient Ch6Ia tings, enumerates them in differeat order. One of the
four kings, Kdkkilli, can hardly be considered a historical person, as he is credited with
having entered a subterraneous cave and there to hare contracted marriage with a serpent
princess/ and as the Vikkirama-$6r<m-Ul& plaecs him before the two mythical kiags &bi awl
Kavdra ; and the king Ch61a of the Uday&idirain plates and of the Leyden grant ig nothing
more than a personification of the Ch61a dynasty, just as Pal&va, the supposed soa of the
hero AlvatthSman and founder of the Pallava race.*
The two remaining kings, KSohcheAgan and Karik&la, are the heroes of two Tamil
poems, the Kalavari by Poygaiyar and the Pmttinappdhi by RudrafigaimaBar. Those
two poems must be considerably more ancient than the KaJi^^^Psr^L which belongs to
the time of Kul&tfcunga I. (A.D. 1063 to 11 12), because the author of this poem (viu. IS and
21) believed them to be actually composed before the time of Parfiutaka I. and during tho
very reigns of Kdchchengan and KarikaLu While the Ja!iya*tu-Parj -/places E^iL-^jf.^i-
before Karikaia, who is represented as having inscribed on Mount AUra the history of liia
predecessors, and among them of ESchehengan (rai. 19) 7 the Leydeu grant calls EISc-Leh-n^ia
a descendant of KarikaLIa, and the Vikkirama-S6ra&-lJld refers to the two kia#s in the smno
order. The Leyden grant even represents the mythical king K^kk:!II as a descendant of
KSclichengan. A comparison of these conflicting statements shows that > at the time of the
composition of the three documents referred to, no tradition remained regarding the order in
which KSchchengan and KariMla succeeded each other. Pr-HVly their names were Ofoly
known from ancient Tamil panegyrics of the same type as the Kakv*ari and the Pa*f **&*.*. ?.V.

YrrrV'r, 1 the name of the king's father was Ilaiijdtcheuui. The king himself is there
called Karigill, i.e., l Black-leg ' or * Llophaat-!^'- while the Sanskritised form of his name,
ir.:r:V.!&, would mean < the death, to elephants.' He is said to have defeated the Chra
and Pantlya kings in a battle fought at Tennil? According to the i Lt rp~'l>'-''ram* his
capital was K& virippilznbattiuam. 5 In one of his interesting contributions to the history
of ancient Tamil litoratnro.* the Honourable P, Coomaraswamy allots Karikala to the fir^t
century A.D, This opinion is based on the fact that the commentaries on the -V *V r 7 i * < .
represent Karikala as the maternal grandfather of the Ch&ra king Seriguttuvay, a contem-
porary of Ga jab&hu of Ceylon. Mr. Coomaraswamy identifies the latter with Gajabuhu L,
who, according to the HaMvamsa^ reigned from A.D. 113 to 135. With due respect to
Mr. Cooinaraswaray's sagacity, I am not prepared to accept this view, unless the identity
of the two Gajabahus is not only supported by the mere identity of the name, but proved by
internal reasons, and until the chronology of the earlier history of Ceylon has been subjected
to a critical examination.
The last of the four ancient Chola kings to whom the subjoined inscription refers, is
Kiichcheagan, i.., ' king Red-eye/ PoygaiySr's poem Kalavari^ which has been
translated into English by Mr. Kanakaeabhai Pillai, 7 describes the battle ofKarumalam,in
which Sengan defeated and captured a Chfira king. The KaUngattu-Parani and the Yikki-
:\:-r-N >.-?? state that the prisoner was set at liberty by the king, after the Salavari had
been recited in the presence of the latter. The Leyden grant (L 26) calls him " a bee at the
lotus feet of ambhu (Siva)/ 3 6 By this it alludes to the fact that Jengan was considered as one
of the sixty-three devotees of Siva. 9 The Feriyapurdnam calls him the son of the Chula
king ubhadva by Kainalavatl, and attributes to him the foundation of the Jambu-
k tsvara temple. 1 ' 1 His name is mentioned by two of the authors of the D$vdram : Sundara-

Ganga king Prithiyipati II. (v. 21). His quen was the daughter of a king of Kerak

and the gilding of the Chidambaram temple are referred to in a hymn by and ar adit yu,
the second son of Paranfaka L 2 According to this hymn, the capital of Parantaka I. was

The ,TV ^ .1 :ry of the Chula king Parantaka I. is followed by an account of the ancestors
of his feudatory Prithivipati II. surnamed lEastimalla (vv. 12 to 23). This passage
opens with a verse (12) c'crifrir? the Ganga family, which is said to have had for its
ancestor the sage Kan va of the race of Kasyapa 5 and to have ** obtained increase through the
might of Sirahanandin.'' 6 As in the copper-plate grants of the Western Gangas, the
first king of the Ganga dynasty is stated to have been Konkani, who resided at Knvala-
lapura, the modern Koldr, 7 "who was anointed to the conquest of the BSna country,"**
and who, in his youth, accomplished the feat of splitting in two a huge stone pillar with a
single stroke of his sword. 9 The device on his banner is said to have been a swan (xitapin-

Hail .' Prosperity .'
(H/m- 1.) May he (vis., Vishnu) incessantly grant you =~-r:ty, the lord of Pros-
perity (and} master of the Universe, of whom the eight-bodied (&va) himself became one
half of the body ;' from the lotus on whose navel the creator of the worlds was produced ; (and)
whose true nature the primeval speech (i.e., the TMa) reveals !
(F. 2.) Let it far remove your sins, the being (viz., 6iva) which is the enemy of
Cupid ; whose diadem is the moon ; the dark (spot) on whose throat resembles a particle
of a cloud ; (and) in whose forehead is sunk a (third) reddish, eye !
(I". 3.) From the lotus on the navel of Vishnu was produced Brahma; from him
Marichi ; from Mm (Kasyapa) the founder of a gdtra (and) husband of Diti; from him
the Sun, who is praised by (Indra) the lord of gods; from him Eudrajit, who was full of
terrible power; frombimthegloriousChandrajit; (and) in his race gib i, the best of kings,
who saved a pigeon (ly offering his own flesh to a Aato&).
(V. 4.) In his race, which was resplendent with the fame of KSkkilli, Ch&la and
Karikala, (and) which was the birth-place of KSchchanfcan and other noble kings,
was born the glorious (and) victorious Yijayalaya, whose foot-stool was worshipped by
the best of kings.
(V. 5.) His son was Aditya, who overcame the whole crowd of ezalted kings;
T!:CF:- spkado^r. being emitted to enter various countries, dispelled the darkness (which were)
troops of enemies ; who learned the true state (of fa of airs of his enemies) from his spies
who made the excellent wheel (of his authority) roll with incessant speed; (and) to whom
the continually rising, joyfully bowed the four regions. 4 '
( V. 6.) From him was born the glorious king Tiranarayana, a jungle-fire to enemies,
who, visibly (and) amply manifesting the glory of Chakradhara, 8 (whiefi resides) in him, now
wears for a long time, as eastty as an arm-ring, the circle of the earth, together with the
seven continents, oceans and mountains, resting on (his) strong arm.
( I'. 7.) He practised many meritorious acts and gifts, (as) the htmagarlha (gift\ the
Mdbfidra ( gift), gifts (of land) to Brahmanas, and (the luilding of) temples.
(II 8.) As Sakra '(Indra) the daughter of PulOman, as garva (&va) the daughter of
the lord of mountains, (and) as (Vishnu) the enemy of Kaitabha the daughter of the ocean
he married the daughter of the lord of Kerala. '

enced the same fear at the same time : (KuWra) the lord of wealth on account of the death

( r. 23.) He deservedly bore the other name Hastimalla, 4 as he tore up the Hill-chiefs
(GirlnJra) together with the Pal lavas, as he was devated to virtue, as his fingers (always)
carried gifts, as he bore the earth, (and) as he was prosperous from birth; [just as the
divine elephant Air^vata tears up large hills like sprou.% is beloved by Indra, carries rut on

77. OjS THE WEST BASB OB 1 THE ANEKATANGAPADAtf TEMPLE AT
In the first volume I published an inscription of Kambana-Udaiyar, which records
that, in the time of Eulfittunga-Choladgva, the Eajasimhavarme^vara temple at
KSSchipuram had been closed, its landed property sold, and its compound and environs
transferred to the temple of AoaiyapatangS. 4 This temple is situated close to the Raja-
simhavannSSvara (now Kaildsandtha) temple. In its inscriptions and in the Dfrifam* it
bears the slightly different name Ae^katangapadam. It contains three inscriptions, one
of which records a private grant, 6 while the two others (JSTos. 77 and 78) are dated daring
the reign of Enl6ttunga-Ch61adva.
The king to whose reign the inscriptions Nos. 77 and 78 belong, is identical with
Kul6ttn6ga-0h61adva I. This follows from the fact that, in other inscriptions which
open with the same introduction, 7 he receives the surname E6-Rajak6sarivarman ? which
was borne by Kulottunga-Ch<31a I., 8 and that, in a few inscriptions with the same introduc-
tion,* he is said to have put to flight Tikkala and ingana, who must be identified with
Yikram&ditya VI. and Jayasimha IV. of the "Western Ghdlakya dynasty. 10
The subjoined inscription records that, in the 20th year of his reign, Kul6ttunga-
Ch?!*dva granted to the iva temple of A&$kataBgpadam in K&fichipuram three
vffi* of land in the village of T&mar, alias Nittaviaddanallflr, in Tniar-n&du, a
subdiviswm of Tamar-kdttam. According to Mr, Crola's Chingleput Manual (p. 439), the
district of ^Ttoll-kotfcaiii" was situated in the west of the Conjeeveram t&luqa. *The
Tillage of T&xra must be accordingly identified with the modern DAmal. u As in an
inscription of Kambanm-TJdaiyar (Vol. I, No. 88), E&fichipuram is here said to have
bdanged to Eyiz-kdttam, a district of Jayafckonda-6ra-mandalam. Eyil, after
whieh the district of Eyif-kottam was called, must be distinct from the distant village of
Eyil in fee South Arcot district, with which I proposed to identify it on a former occasion. 12
Perhaps the term Eyil, i.e., * the Fort, 5 refers to Kafichipurain itself. Jayaikonda-Sdra-
mandalain is another name of Tondaimandalam."

NO. 78. ON THE SOUTH BASE OF TUE ASEKATAXfiAPADAlI TEMPLE AT
Like No. 77 3 this inscription belongs to the time of Kuluttunga-Cli61adva L It
is dated in the 84th year of bis reign, and records that the king granted 2 rells of land to
the A$6katangapadam temple at KaSehiptiram. The land granted was situated in
the southern portion of K?.fi^.:r::rr.:r:. to the north of the temple of Tirukkarrali-
Jlah&dSva, g.&, of the KdjasimhavarmHvara (now Kail dsanSt ha) temple, 4 to the
east of the hamlet of PuttSri, 5 to the west of c the royal wall of Edj^ndra-ChSla/ 6 and
to the south of the hamlet of Kir-Puttri, i>., * Eastern Puttfei.'
As the knd granted bordered on the KailS^an^tha temple, it is not impossible that it
formed part of those gifts of Kul6ttunga-Ch61adva, which were declared to be unlaw-
ful and were restored to the KaiMsanatha temple in the time of Kambana-TJdaiyar. 7
