No. 31.- TIRUMALAI ROCK INSCRIPTION OF RAJENDRA-CHOLA I.
BY PROFESSOR E. HULTZSCH, PH.D.; HALLE (SAALE). When, more than twenty years ago, I started epigraphical work in the Madras Presidency, I prepared with my own hands an inked, estampage of the inscription which is here re-edited. After Mr. Venkayya had joined my office in Bangalore, we spent a considerable time in reading and translating this record - one of the first early Chola documents we tried to make out in a reliable manner. The Tamil text of it as printed in South Indian Inscriptions, Vol. I. p. 98, does not contain any misreadings. But the translation on p. 99 needs revision in the light of the other Chôļa inscriptions which were published later on, and a facsimile of this beautifully
1 Monday is wrongly quoted instead of Thursday.
Saka 1881 is wrongly quoted instead of 1883, and the 23rd solar day wrongly instead of the 21st.
* Only the date in line 12 should be '13' (instead of '12'); the same correction has to be made in the beading of the Plate facing p. 232 below.
