It is a bulky one. Reasons – to respect our friends and colleagues. But, the next issue is going to be different. It is going to be an annual one and refereed at that as we are graduating to a higher stage i.e. to the national level from a regional level. We need co-operation from our readers and contributors to establish this journal among the top ranking ones in the country. To ensure this we are seeking help of renowned specialists – referees. Regarding this issue, there are several excellent papers. We are carrying Dr. V. Balambal’s impressive lecture delivered at the South Indian History Congress in Calicut. Dr. Shankar Goyal’s piece on ‘Historiography of Professor K.A. Nilakanta Shastri, is a detailed study. Dr. Chandni Bi from Aligarh has sent a brilliant paper entitled ‘Female Functionaries of Medieval South Indian Temples’, like Mr. V. Palanichamy from Pondicherry on ‘Society and Land Relation on the Kaveri Delta during the Chola period’. Dr. K.G. Vasantha Madhava’s contributions as always is commendable on ‘Note on Dutch Documents on Coastal Karnataka 1583-1763’. Dr. Samba Siva Reddy has documented very well the role of Kadapa district in Indian Nationalism during 1922-1930. All other papers are worthy of publication and hence have figured here. We thank all contributors for their effort. Dr. Prema Kasturi deserves special gratitude not only for sending a book review but also for helping us edit this volume. A special word of thanks to Dr. Nanditha Krishna and her staff for all their support and guiding the destiny of this journal. Dr. G.J. Sudhakar 6 Journal of Indian History and Culture MAHISHA, THE BUFFALO DEMON Dr. Nanditha Krishna Hon. Director The C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar Foundation, Chennai Rambha, demon son of ¸rishi Kas´yapa and Danu, mother of the Danavas,@ married a Mahishi (female buffalo). They had a son, Mahisha. Rambha and his wife were killed by a giant buffalo, but the son grew up to become the king of the Mahishas. Mahisha lived in the Vindhya Mountains and, by the practice of severe austerities, gained the strength to drive the gods out of the heavens. So Brahma, Vishn¸u and Siva issued energy (Sakti) from their mouths. The energy united and from it emanated Durga as a beautiful woman with ten arms, riding a lion (sometimes she is depicted riding a tiger). She held each god’s special weapons in each of her ten hands: discus, conch, club, trident, spear, flame, bow, arrow and quiver, snake and the thunderbolt. She had a terrible laugh and roar that shook the earth. Several of Mahisha’s warriors came forward to fight Dev¸@: Chiksura with his army; Udagra, Mahahanu, Siloma, Vaskala and Viralasha with chariots; Parivarita with elephants; and Mahishasura with elephants and horses. She killed each one of them with a different weapon. As Durga approached the Vindhyas, the demon tried to capture her. Unable to do so, he attacked her under several forms, each of which was destroyed by Durga. Finally, he took the form of a buffalo, which she caught with a noose and tied up before transfixing him with a trident, after which she killed him with her sword. (Devi Mahatmyam, Markandeya Purana). Some versions have her tiger mount attacking and killing the demon. There is also a sexual tension between Durga and Mahisha, who was a suitor and wanted to marry her. Mahisha is killed by Karttikeya in the Mahabharata. But this is not the popular perception. Who was Mahisha and is this story merely a legend? Central India, where the Vindhya hills are situated and the legendary scene of the battle, still has buffalo-totem worshippers like the Marias and Gonds. The Todas of the Nilgiri Hills in the south west are also a buffalo- worshipping tribe. Mahisha is closely associated with the town of Mysore (formerly Mahisha- ur), named after him. In fact, it is locally believed that this was where September 2005, Twelfth Issue 7 the goddess killed the demon. Many of his generals take on the goddess, but are killed with a variety of weapons, from stones and trees to bows and arrows, spears and swords, establishing the cultural situation of the war. In fact, it is locally believed that he was a local ruler killed by the goddess, and a huge statue of a mustachioed male figure of Mahisha holding a sword and a snake stands at the foot of the Chamundesvari! Hill, at the top of which stands the temple of Durgâ as Chamund¸@, killer of Mahisha. Whom did the goddess defeat? Less than 100 kilometres from Mysore are the Nilgiri Hills where the Toda tribe lives, a tribe that worships the buffalo as a god and whose origins are shrouded in mystery. The Todas venerate the buffalo, whose horns adorn their temples. The Todas are buffalo herders and, till recently, supplied buffalo milk to the other tribes through a tribal barter system. So sacred are the buffaloes that no other tribe was allowed to own any. The Toda buffaloes are enormous, handsome animals who are fierce fighters if approached by strangers. The Todas also have a tradition of being the palanquin bearers of Ravana, from whose atrocities they fled. It is likely that the Todas were buffalo worshippers who were defeated by the followers of the goddess, and who disappeared into the hills consequent to their defeat. The cairns of the Nilgiris, believed to have been deserted by the Todas, are called moriaru mane ! or house of the Morias. The word could also be synonymous for the buffalo-horn Marias of Central India1. Besides the Nilgiri hills in South India, Central India is also famous for buffalo totem tribes like the Marias and Gonds, who even wear the buffalo horns on festive occasions. The Marias also worship Dantesvar ¸@ Dev¸@, besides the buffalo. Here, both the Goddess and the Buffalo deity are revered. Mahisha is also associated with the town of Mahishamati, situated south of the river Godavari, on a tributary of the river Kr¸shn¸a. It was founded by king Mahishmat, whose name implies that he was rich in buffaloes. The region was ruled by king Nila of Dakshinapatha, and his subjects were called Mahishakas2. This is also the region of the

    Vol.1 No.1 July 2013 ISSN : 2321 – 788X Internet Based Learning For Ancient Tamil R. Nithya M.Phil. Scholar, Govt. Arts College, Ooty, Dr.E. Senavarayan Govt. Arts College, Ooty. Abstract The land of Tamil speech and people was in ancient times ruled by three famous lines of king, the Chera, Chola, and Pandiya. The land ruled by them was called Chera Nadu (Chera country), Chola Nadu (Chola country), and Pandiya Nadu (Pandiaya country) respectively. The landmass covered by the present-day Kerala State in the South India formed a major part of Chera Nadu, the Central and Northern parts of present Tamil Nadu were the then Chola Nadu and the Southern part of Tamil Nadu was the Pandiya Nadu. Tamils are of Dravidian origin. Many historians claim that the Dravidians, before the dawn of the history of the Tamils, were spread all over India. For various reason they split into small groups. Consequently, the original language also split into different languages. Tamil is found to have retained about 80 per cent of the features of the original Dravidian language.There are three major sub-groups in the Dravidian family of language, namely, South Dravidian, Central Dravidian, and North Dravidian. Internet based Tamil resources to Tamil communities living in different part of globe as well as others interested learn in Tamil.

  • The Great Author of Summaries- Contemporary of Buddhaghosa
    UNIVERSITY OF CEYLON REVIEW The Great Author of Summaries- Contemporary of Buddhaghosa UDDHADATTA'S Manuals of Vinaya and Abhidhamma are now known to orientalists through the editions of the Pali Text B Society. I In the Introductory Note to the Abhidhammavatiira, Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids remarks: "According to the legend, Buddhadatta recast in a condensed shape that which Buddhaghosa handed on, in Pali, from the Sinhalese Commentaries. But the psychology and philosophy are pre- sented through the prism of a second vigorous intellect, under fresh aspects, in a style often less discursive and more graphic than that of the great Com- msntator, and with strikingly rich vocabulary, as is revealed by the dimensions of the Index. .. So little was the modestly expressed ambition of Buddha- datta's Commentator realized :-that the great man's death would leave others room to emerge from eclipse-a verse that forcibly recalls George Meredith's quip uttered at Tennyson's funeral-' Well, a -, it's a great day for the minor poets'!" The legend that she refers to is found in the Pali Commentary on the Vina- yavinicchaya and in the Buddhaghosu-p paiti, The former work was composed by the Sinhalese Elder, Mahasami Vacissara, in about the r zth century A.D., and is still unpublished. In its introduction it states: "Ayarn kira Bhadanta- Buddhadatt acariyo Lankadlpato sajatibhfimin Jambudipam agacchanto Bhadanta-Buddhaghosacariyau J ambudipavasikehi . mahatheravarehi kataradhanan Sihalatthakathan parivattetva . miilabhasaya tipitaka- pariyattiya atthakatham likhitum Lankadlpam gacchantam antar amagge disva sakacchaya samupaparikkhitva ... balavaparitosam patva ...
