  • AUTHOR INFO

    Dr. A. Krishnan M.A., M.Ed., Ph.D., born in 1948 has made his presence felt in the field of epigraphy and literature by comparing the two primary sources. He had two books to his credit. The first book Kalvettil Valviyal (1991) received the Tamil Nadu Government State Award and the second book Tamilar Panpattiyal (2 vols. 1992 and 1994) received the best book award of the Bharathi Tamil Sangam. These awards stand as a testimony to his involvement in this field. To augment his study further, he got his Diploma in Telugu from the Central Institute of Indian Languages, Mysore, His multifaceted interest is reflected in his approach to the training at Centre for Cultural Resource Training, New Delhi.

  • FOREWARD

    In the present book Literary and Tamil Epigraphy, a serious and fresh attempt is made to integrate the materials found in Tamil inscriptions and literature of the thirteenth century. The materials are analyzed with care and sincerity and the proper understanding of the basic structures of the matter is visible throughout the study. A brief review of Tamil inscriptions with their various components can help immensely the general readers. A brief note on the literature with their utility and scope for a better understanding of their relationship with the inscription too can help to absorb the good things found in both disciplines. The study on the transformation of certain Sanskrit forms into Tamil, sentence structure, word formations, proverbs, and phonetic and dialectical variations are indeed a great help for linguistics. The value of inscription and literature as a source of understanding the social fabric of early Indian history is well established throughout this well-planned presentation.

  • PREFACE

    Numerous studies have been undertaken by scholars in respect of the analysis of Tamil inscriptions. Similarly, studies about select works of Tamil literature have also been made. But the present work is an attempt to compare the material found in Tamil inscriptions and Tamil literature of the thirteenth century. Stray attempts to compare the two have also been made. Prof. T.P. Meenakshi Sundaran has in the book 'History of Tamil Language' dealt with this aspect pointedly in his brief chapter on Pallava, Pantiya, Cola, and Nayaka times (pages 177 ff.) Dr. A. Velupillai studied elaborately 'The Dialects in inscriptional Tamil' covering the period sixth century to the twelth century. His approach and method were found to be useful to me in my work. Messrs. S. Agesthialingom and S.V. Shanmugam have, in their book 'The Language of Tamil Inscriptions 1250-1350 A.D.' analyzed epigraphical material. This work dealing with inscriptions only was also greatly helpful.
