Epigraphical Study of Ancient and Medieval Villages in the Tamil Country
Inscriptions on stones or copper-plates, which occur in substantial numbers, are the basic source-material for the ancient and medieval history of India, as much of India lacks history books compiled in these periods. For pre-modern village studies as well, therefore, we have to depend on inscriptions. In this paper I explain how the remains of inscriptions can be used for village studies by referring to my examination of Tamil inscriptions of th…
Maṭha s and Medieval Religious Movements in Tamil Nadu
This is a continuation and the concluding part of our epigraphical study on maṭhas and medieval religious movements in Tamil Nadu published in Indian Historical Review’s 2010 issue, in which we examined the inscriptions referring to maṭhas in order to learn about their activities during the four hundred years up to 1300 CE, covering the Chola period. In this study, we have examined the inscriptions for the next four centuries covering the Pandyan…
Maṭhas and Medieval Religious Movements in Tamil Nadu
Maṭha (monastery) appears in Tamil inscriptions from the early ninth century and appears with increasing frequency from the eleventh century. This increase seems to have been brought about by an influx of Śaiva ascetics from North India.

In the past studies, however, the relations between the state and nagarattār and those between nagarattār and…
Temple land in Chola and Pandyan inscriptions
The purpose of this dēvadāna study1 is twofold. In Chola and Pandyan inscriptions (tenth to thirteenth centuries) dēvadānas granted to Hindu temples are often designated as kudinīkki or kudinīngā in relation to the mode of their utilisation by the temple. In past studies, however, these two terms have been variously and wrongly interpreted by scholars. The first and main purpose of this study, therefore, is to ascertain the correct legal meaning …
Kaniyalar old and new
There are two twelfth-century Chola inscriptions recording the royal orders concerning public auctions of land and prohibition of land purchase in the lower Kaveri valley. By analysing these two and other related inscriptions * of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the authors clarify the politico-economic conditions of the Chola state, which caused the emergence of big-scale landholders from among the military and other privileged people towa…
