1878.INTRODUCTION.

The subject of Indian Inscriptions has naturally attracted the attention of all
scholars interested in the history of the country. In the extensive and valuable
literature that the Hindus have produced, there are scarcely any works of a historical
character., Family legends, local traditions, and Pur&nic or mythological tales, are
common enough, and sometimes contain vague accounts of facts, which the progress of
research may enable us to disentangle from the encrusting fables; but they can never
supply the want of written history.

Fortunately, however, this want is to a large extent compensated for by numerous
contemporary records, in the shape of Inscriptions conveying, and intended to serve as
the title-deeds of, the grants and endowments made by kings and chiefs to temples and
religious communities,—some on rocks ; some on the pillars and walls of temples ; others
on large single slabs of stone set up in public places; and others engraved on plates of
copper, held together by rings to which is attached the seal of the reigning dynasty.
In these Inscriptions, then, lies our only hope of filling up the many lacunse in Indian
History; and we find that Sir Charles Wilkins, General John Carnac, Sir John Shore,
and others, who rallied round Warren Hastings and Sir William Jones to form the
Asiatic Society of Bengal ninety years ago, fully recognised this, and at once began to
collect and investigate the contents of Inscriptions. “ Their high importance,” wrote
Lassen in 1852, “ as a supplement of the history incompletely transmitted to us, and as a
“ means of fixing the eras of the dynasties, has been already acknowledged by Colebrooke,
“ who laid the foundation of most branches of the knowledge of Indian Antiquities.”
Colonel Colin Mackenzie, during the first years of the century, did much to collect
Inscriptions, especially in Southern India, where they are most numerous, and is said to
have prepared copies of no less than eight thousand and seventy-six. But Scholarship,
for their proper decipherment and translation, was unfortunately wanting at the time;
and such versions as, with the aid of Pandits, he did attempt, were not critically accurate,
and his original copies, said to be in the India Office Library, have lain neglected for
many years. Francis Buchanan (Hamilton) also collected many Inscriptions, which were
at the disposal of his editor, Mr. Montgomery Martin; but of the value of these we as
yet know nothing. During his long residence in India, Sir Walter Elliot, K.C.S.I., then
in the Madras Civil Service, spared no pains in collecting impressions of Copper-plate
Grants and transcriptions of Stone-tablet Inscriptions, and by means of them was able to
establish the chronology of the great Chalukya dynasty of the Canarese and Mar&th&
countries, which flourished under two collateral lines of the same family from the fifth to
the twelfth century, and to throw some light on the Yadava, Chera, Ch61a, Phndya, and

other, dynasties; and his collections still contain many untranslated records that may
prove of great historical interest. Equally well known is the zeal of Tod, Prinsep,
Wathen, Sir G. Legrand Jacob, Dr. Bhau Daji, General Cunningham, and others, in the
same line of research. But it may he remarked that, as Lassen long ago WTote,1 “ we
“ are indebted for those collected, not so much to the care of Government for the
“ knowledge and preservation of the ancient monuments of the country, as to the zeal
“ and thoughtfulness of single individuals, who have thereby merited the credit of
“ securing them from the destruction which has befallen so many others, and, so far as
“ they were able, have contributed to their preservation.”

The Bombay Cave-Temple Commission,2 early in 1851, called attention to the
Inscriptions, among other subjects of investigation, and obtained the appointment of
Lieut. Brett to copy and take impressions of them. Erom his copies were prepared the
reduced lithographs which accompany the tentative translations published by the late
Bev. Dr. Stevenson in the Journal of the Bombay Br. B. Asiatic Society; and the
originals were afterwards sent to the India Office. Early in 1856, the same Commission
reported on “the extreme desirableness of the publication, under the auspices of
“ Government, of facsimiles or copies, with decipherments and translations,” of ancient
Inscriptions. ‘ The publication of such a Corpus Inscriptionum appeared to them to be
‘ an object of such importance in an antiquarian and historical point of view (for it
‘ would embrace the most important documenta of Indian History), that it well merited
‘ the combined attention of Government, of learned Societies, and of individual orientalists.*
Many Inscriptions, it was pointed out ‘ had already been copied and translated, though
‘ not with absolute accuracy, yet with a tolerable degree of success; extremely important
‘ results had been obtained from their investigation, for the arrangement of Indian
‘ chronology, and the definite ascertainment of the great religious and political changes
‘ which had occurred in the country in past ages.’ In accordance with the recommendation
of the Commission, Vishnu Sastri Bapat was appointed as Pandit, and, in the course of
five years, he copied and translated into Marathi some eighty-eight Pah and Sanskrit
Inscriptions; but none of them have ever been published. The death of the Pandit, the
Mutiny, and the transfer of the Government of India to the Crown, seem to have helped
to lead to the abandonment of the work.

About fifteen years ago, however, Her Majesty’s Government began to take
a keener interest in such inquiries. In 1865 there were printed, under the auspices of
the Government of Maisur, a few copies of a photographic collection of one hundred
and forty-nine Inscriptions on copper-plates and stone-tablets at Chitaldurg, Balag&mve,
Harihar, and other places in the Maisur territory, from negatives taken by Lieut.-Col.
Henry Dixon, H.M.’s 22nd Begiment M.N.I., and purchased by the India Office. And,
about the same time, the Committee of Architectural Antiquities of Western India was
formed, under whose auspices and at whose expense the Honble. Th. C. Hope., Bo. C.S.,
edited and printed in 1866, under the title of Inscriptions in Bharwar and My sore t ten

copies1 of a collection of fifty-nine photographic plates containing sixty-four Inscriptions
from stone-tablets on the walls and pillars of temples and rocks in the Canarese
Districts of the Bombay Presidency, and at a few places in the Ball&ri District of the
Madras Presidency and in Maisfir; of these, thirty-nine were from negatives taken
in Dharw&d, North Canara, BaMri, and Maisur, by the late Dr. Pigou, Bo. Med. Ser.,
and twenty were from negatives taken in Kaladgi by Col. Biggs, B/.A. A few other
stone-tablet inscriptions, also taken by the same photographers, were inserted by Mr.
Hope in another work, entitled Architecture in Dharwar and Mysore, edited by him at
the same time.

These volumes probably helped to sustain the interest already created in the
decipherment of Inscriptions; and, in January 1870, His Grace the Duke of Argyll, as
Secretary of State for India, forwarded to the Bombay Government a scheme for the
collection and preservation of ancient Inscriptions in the Canarese Districts, suggesting
that the services of a competent scholar should be engaged to revise the transcriptions
collected by Sir Walter Elliot, to compare them with the originals, and to add such
others as were not included in the collection, with a view to having them printed, and
the more interesting of them photo-lithographed.

The serious difficulties of the work, and the impossibility of getting it done in a
trustworthy manner by native agency, prevented the Government of Bombay from
carrying out this scheme officially. The starting of the Indian Antiquary, however, in
1872, and the commencement of the Archaeological Survey of Western India in 1874,
helped to modify the difficulties in the way of getting perfect copies; and Her Majesty’s
Government, recognizing " the propriety of giving support to inquiries tending to throw
“ light on the past history of the country and on the many extremely interesting
“ problems that arise in connection with the study of the languages and customs of
“ the people,”2 was pleased to allow a grant to the Indian Antiquary, to meet the
expense of photo-lithographs of Inscriptions. This grant, now entirely expended,
has been of immense service, by enabling that Journal to present to the learned, in
Volumes III. to VII., a large number of facsimilies of Inscriptions,3 along with their
transcriptions in modem characters and translations,—those in Volumes VI. and VII.
being selected to a large extent from the important collection of originals and*impressions
belonging to Sir Walter Elliot.

The very few copies that were printed, of the two photographic collections mentioned
above, have always been difficult of access, having been distributed chiefly among
Government offices and some of the leading literary societies. This has now come to be
a serious drawback; since, during the last few years, so many competent scholars, few
of whom have more than occasional access to large libraries, have begun to occupy
themselves in researches into the early and mediaeval history of Western India.

Under these circumstances, with the object of making the valuable and extensive
materials thus collected more available to scholars for perusal and publication, the

sanction of Her Majesty’s Secretary of State for India was sought and obtained for the
printing of a few copies of the present volume. The collections of Colonel Dixon and of
Dr. Pigou and Colonel Biggs form the basis of it; but they have been supplemented by

1.	Photographs taken by, and lithographs from estampages and rubbings made by,

the Archaeological Survey of Western India;—

2.	Photographs taken for, and lithographs from estampages made by, Mr. J. P. Pleet,

Bo. C.S*, M.R.A.S.;—

3.	Lithographs from original copper-plates, of which Nos. 1, 3, and 4, belong to the

Government of Bombay; Nos. 2, 5 to 10, and 21, belong to Mr. Pleet;

Nos. 11, and 266, belong to the India Office Library; and Nos. 12 to 15 are

from impressions taken in ink by Sir Walter Elliot, K.C.S.I.;—and

4.	Photographs of copper-plate grants of the Gurjara, Valabhi, and BAshtrakftta

dynasties, taken for Dr. Buhler, Bombay Educ. Service, and lithographs of

other plates of the same dynasties.

Also, one photograph, No. 87, has been supplied by Mr. W. P. Sinclair, Bo. C.S.,
M.E.A.S. And No. 17 is represented by full-size lithographs from the original plates,
which were kindly obtained on loan from the owner by the Lev. T. Poulkes of Bengalur
and transmitted to Mr. Burgess; these lithographs are substituted for the small, and in
some places indistinct, photographs of Colonel Dixon. With this exception, all of
Colonel Dixon’s negatives,1 and all those of Dr. Pigou and Colonel Biggs, are represented
in one form or another in the present volume. But in both series there were occasionally
duplicate copies of one and the same original; and duplicate copies of some others of
the plates in the Inscriptions in Dharwar and Mysore were furnished by the photographs
and estampages of Mr. Burgess and Mr. Pleet. In such cases the best and clearest of
the duplicate copies has been selected for the present volume, and the other has been
omitted. The initial and number2 indicative of the source of the copy thus selected are
always given first in the Analysis of the inscription in question; and the initial and
number indicative of the details of the rejected copy follow in brackets. Thus, under
No. 39, the arrangement “ B., First Archceol. Report, PL xxxii.; (H., 12) ” indicates
that, of the two copies of this Inscription, a fresh lithograph from the estampage made
by Mr. Burgess, and originally published as Plate xxxii. of his First Archceological
Report, has been selected for this volume, in preference to the photograph taken by
Colonel Biggs and given by Mr. Hope as Plate xii. of his work.

The Copper-plate Grants have been arranged, irrespective of locality, according to
the sequence of the dynasties to which they belong, and the dates of the Grants. The
Stone-tablet Inscriptions, on the other hand, have been arranged, primarily according to

1	In the copy of Colonel Dixon’s collection belonging to the Library of the Bombay Branch of the Royal
Asiatic Society, and in the copy of the same belonging to the India Office Library, his No. 87 is entered as
“ missing;” it seems likely that no such photograph existed, and that the entry of it was due only to a mistake in
numbering the plates.

D.	Colonel H. ^Dixon’s photographic negatives.

the localities at which the originals are, and secondarily according to the sequence of
the dynasties and the dates of the grants. This difference of arrangement was necessi-
tated in the case of the Stone-tablet Inscriptions by the number of localities from which
they have been taken, and, in some instances, by the large number of Inscriptions at one
and the same place. In addition to showing at once the richness or poorness of each locality
in these historical remains, this arrangement further serves to indicate cursorily the
dynastic changes to which that locality, and consequently the surrounding country, was
subjected.1 Information as to the precise position of each Inscription at each locality
has not always been forthcoming; but, whenever they could be ascertained, the details
have been given in the Analyses.

Of the Inscriptions comprised in this volume, transcriptions and translations of some
have already been published in the Indian Antiquary, and in the Journal of the Bombay
Bra/nch of the Boyal Asiatic Society, and in Mr. Burgess’ First, Second, and Third,
Archaeological Reports. In each instance the reference is given in the Analysis. Of
the rest, those marked with the initial “ E ” have been supplied by Mr. Fleet, and are
more or less advanced in process of being published.2 3

Copies of some of the Inscriptions, which may usefully he collated with the
photographs, are to be found in two manuscript volumes, entitled Carndtaka-Desa
Inscriptions, prepared for, and under the supervision of, Sir Walter Elliot, and presented
by him to the Library of the Edinburgh University, Keferences to these two volumes
have been made in the Analyses.

It must not be supposed, however, that this Collection embraces even nearly the
whole of the Inscriptions from Western India and the Dekkan that are at present
available. Sir Walter Elliot has most kindly placed at our disposal a large series of
original Copper-plate Grants of the Yijayanagara and other dynasties, and also an
extensive collection of impressions from other such Inscriptions, which are well deserving
of publication and likely to yield new and important results when examined. There are
also in the India Office Library, in the Boyal Asiatic Society, in the Bombay Asiatic
Society, in the British Museum, and in private hands,8 both in India and in Europe, a
considerable number of Copper-plate Grants, which, if published in facsimile, would fill
up many lacunae, and supply dates and bases of arrangement that are yet wanting.

As the expense of lithographing4 * * * a few copies of these inscriptions would be very

1	Nos. 248 to 286, however, were not included in the original scheme of this Collection, and the plates, when
determined upon and received, were too late to he distributed in their proper places according to this arrangement.

2	Any one who is willing to cooperate is requested to take in hand for publication any of the remaining
Inscriptions; and it is suggested that the Indian Antiquary, as being the Journal of the kind with the widest
circulation, will be found the best medium for making them generally known.

3	Plates in private hands ought especially to be published in this way as speedily as possible, for there seems
to be a fatality attending them. Dr. James Bird for example, dug out two copper-plates from a Tope at the
Kanheri caves; he kept them, and, three or four years afterwards, Dr. Stevenson cuuld not obtain either the
plates or a fair transcript of them, and now they are probably entirely lost or destroyed. The late Mr. Wathen,
Secretary to the Government of Bombay, had also a number of plates that now have been lost sight of.

4	Lithographic copies, rather than photographs, of all the inscriptions in this vqlume would have been

preferable. But, where the originals are not available to work from directly, it is to be remembered that, in
lithographs prepared by transcribing or tracing by the hand and eye, tjiere is so great a liability to mistake,

that the most carefully prepared transfers are liable to errors of a worse kind than the indistinctness of
photographs. Where the originals, or impressions of them, were available, the case was entirely different, and

photo-lithographs have in some cases been given. The number of these has only been limited by the smallness of

the grant at our disposal.8

SANSKRIT AND OLD CANARESE INSCRIPTIONS.

little less than for an average edition, it was not thought advisable to include them
in the present Collection. Fresh Inscriptions are constantly turning up ; and it is hoped
that Her Majesty’s Government will recognize the propriety of making such arrangements
as will lead to the systematic publication in future, both of new Inscriptions as they are
found, and of those at present available. They contain such ample materials, available
nowhere else, for elucidating the history, the religious and social life, the origin and
growth of the alphabetical characters, and the development of the vernacular languages,
of all the different sections of our Indian dominions, that it would be a matter for the
greatest regret, if, having made so fair a start, our progress in these researches were now
to receive an unexpected and untimely check. All who devote themselves to the study
of Oriental Archaeology look anxiously to Government for their publication, expecting
that,—while Prussia and France are doing so much for Latin, Greek, and Semitic,
Inscriptions,—the Inscriptions of India, which contain the whole of its history, but
which are disappearing with such deplorable rapidity, will be properly treated with
equal attention at the hands of Her Majesty’s Government.
