A Tropographical List of the Inscription of the Madras Presidency (Collected till 1915) with Notes and References

1919

IT was in the month of January 1916 that in the course of an interview I had with Sir John Marshall the DirectoGeneral of Archaeology who was then on a flying visit to Madras the question of compiling a list of the inscriptions which had been published by the Department of Epigraphy in the Madras Presidency was first mooted. [...] S. whose labours in the compilation of the Salem Gazetteer " and whose researches in the field of South Indian history ethnology and customs had taught him the necessity of a handbook which could give in short and succinct compass the inscritions contained in the annual reports of the department. [...] The exact situation of the villages from which the inscriptions have been copied has been omitted in a large number of cases and the student of research has to spend a lot of time in tracing the exact topographies for which he has not often got the proper books of reference. [...] Records a gift to the temple of Chautlevari at Cholasamudra by Rayasam Kondamarasayya son of Timmarasamantri who was one of the sons of Sripatyacharya chief of Podatfiru in Dravida-deSa and the ornament of the Udayagiri-Kannadiga sect. [...] Seems to register the grant of certain taxes (?) to the temple of Madhvet'wara at Gerantla for the merit of the king and of ChikkVenkatappa-Nayuclu.
