  • To Whom Does Temple Wealth Belong? a Historical Essay on Landed Property in Travancore K
    RESEARCH ARTICLE To Whom Does Temple Wealth Belong? A Historical Essay on Landed Property in Travancore K. N. Ganesh* Abstract: The enormous wealth stored in the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple of Thiruvananthapuram, the component items of which were classified and enumerated under the direction of the Supreme Court of India in June 2011, sparked off a major debate on the nature of temple wealth, and on the rights of the temple, the royal family that controlled the temple, and the people as a whole. The issues that have figured in the current controversy can be addressed only by means of study of the history of the growth of temples and their wealth. The Padmanabha temple, where the present hoard has been discovered, is a case in point. In the medieval context, the transformation of landed social wealth into temple wealth impelled the emergence of the temple as a source of social power, one that even kings were forced to recognise. Ultimately, whether described as divine wealth or social wealth, this wealth belongs to the people as the proceeds of their labour. The millions hoarded in the Padmanabha temple are the historical legacy of the millions who have tilled the soil and laboured on the earth for at least a millennium, and shall go back to them and their inheritors. Keywords: Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple, history of Travancore, agrarian history of Kerala, Venad kingdom, temple hoard. The enormous wealth stored in the Sree Padmanabha Swamy temple of Thiruvananthapuram,1 the component items of which were classified and enumerated under the direction of the Supreme Court of India in June 2011, sparked off a major debate on the nature of temple wealth and on the rights of the temple, the royal family that controls the temple, and the people as a whole.

  • A Primer of Tamil Literature
    This is a reproduction of a library book that was digitized by Google as part of an ongoing effort to preserve the information in books and make it universally accessible. https://books.google.com A PRIMER OF TAMIL LITERATURE BY iA. S. PURNALINGAM PILLAI, b.a., Professor of English, St. Michael's College, Coimbatore. PRINTED AT THE ANANDA PRESS. 1904. Price One Rupee or Two Shillings. (RECAP) .OS FOREWORD. The major portion of this Primer was written at Kttaiyapuram in 1892, and the whole has lain till now in manuscript needing my revision and retouching. Owing to pressure of work in Madras, I could spare no time for it, and the first four years of my service at Coim- batore were so fully taken up with my college work that I had hardly breathing time for any literary pursuit. The untimely death of Mr. V. G. Suryanarayana Sastriar, B.A., — my dear friend and fellow-editor of J nana Bodhini — warned me against further delay, and the Primer in its present form is the result of it. The Age of the Sangams was mainly rewritten, while the other Ages were merely touched up. In the absence of historical dates — for which we must wait, how long we do not know — I have tried my best with the help of the researches already made to divide, though roughly, twenty centuries of Tamil Literature into Six Ages, each Age being distinguished by some great movement, literary or religious. However .defective it may be in point of chronology, the Primer will justify its existence if it gives foreigners and our young men in the College classes whose mother-tongue is Tamil, an idea of the world of Tamil books we have despite the ravages of time and white-ants, flood and fire, foreign malignity and native lethargy.

Madurai, Kanchi and Poompuhar are prominent among them. Tamil literature, accounts of foreign travellers and archaeological finds provide us information about the ancient towns of Tamilagam. Poompuhar: Poompuhar is one of the oldest towns in ancient Tamilagam. This is the place where well known characters of Silapathikaram, Kovalan and Kannagi lived. Learning Leads To Ruling Page 1 of 7 General Studies Prepared By www.winmeen.com It was also a port town along the Bay of Bengal. The ports were established for facilitating maritime trade. Poompuhar is one such historic port that emerged in the wake of increasing maritime trade. It is a coastal town near the present-day Mayiladuthurai and is located where the river Cauvery drains into the sea. Poompuhar Port: Poompuhar was also known by names such as Puhar and Kaveripoompattinam. It served as the port of the early Chola kingdom. One of the popular Sangam Literature. Pattinappaalai and Tamil epics, Silappathikaram and Manimegalai, have references to the brisk sea-borne trade that took place in the port city, Puhar. Silappathikaram, in particular, speaks about the greatness of Poompuhar. The lead female character of Silappathikaram is Kannagi. Her father is Maanaigan. Sea traders are known by the name Maanaigan. The male character Kovalan’s father is Maasathuvan. Massathuvan means a big trader. It is clear from the text that Poompuhar was a place where big traders and sea traders had settled down.

  • Kollam Pillar Inscription of Rama Kulasekhara: the Last Chera Record of a Jain Perumal of Makothai
    Kollam Pillar Inscription of Rama Kulasekhara: The Last Chera Record of a Jain Perumal of Makothai M. S. Dhiraj 1 1. Department of History, Pondicherry Central University, Pondicherry ‐ 605 014, India (Email:[email protected]) Received: 19 July 2018; Revised: 23 September 2018; Accepted: 16 October 2018 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 6 (2018): 487‐504 Abstract: This paper is an attempt to shed fresh light into the dark corners of the history of Jainism in the modern state of Kerala through the analysis of a medieval Malayalam Vatteluttu inscription popularly known as Kollam Pillar Inscription. Although this record was published in the 1920’s, thus far no Jainologist in Kerala took note of it. This 12th Century CE record helps us to establish the Jaina affiliation of the last known Chera Perumal Rama Kulasekhara. Together with some native and non‐native inscriptional evidences, it also enlightens us that Rama Kulasekhara’s Jain faith was one of the reasons that ultimately led to the disintegration of the Second Chera Empire. This inscription further divulges the Keralaputras’ close association with Trikunavay Jain Palli, the ancient/medieval Jain pivot of Kerala. Rama Kulasekara’s shadow force called ‘Ayiram’ alias ‘Trikunavay Ayiram’ can further be identified as the precursor of the present ‘Onnu Kure Ayiram’ organization associated with the Kodungallur region, the historic capital territory of the Cheras. This study also hints at the Jain affiliation of the present‐day Nair community of Kerala. More than anything else, this inscriptional analysis can be termed as a landmark in the history of Jainism in Kerala, for establishing the Jaina association with the Cheras, the native ruling family of Ancient and Medieval Kerala.
