South Indian Inscriptions |
EPIGRAPHIA INDICA in his master’s wars against the Musalmân chiefs of Madhurâ, as the Râṅganâtha inscription alludes to his conquest of the Tulushkas. The subjoined list of inscriptions of Kampaṇa II. shows that his influence extended from Mysore in the north to Râmnâd in the south, and that he was in power between A.D. 1361-62 and A.D. 1374. The Tirumalai inscription of his son Ommaṇa-Uḍaiyar[1] is dated on the 11th December A.D. 1374.[2] Of his father Bukka I. we have inscriptions of the still later date, viz. A.D. 1375-76 and 1376-77.[3] To professor Kielhorn my best thanks are due for the calculation of those among the following dates which contain astronomical details.
1.─ No. 250 of 1901 ; at Achcharapâkkam. Kampaṇṇa-Uḍaiyar, the son of Vîra-Bokkaṇa-Uḍaiyar. Śaka-Saṁvat 12[83], Plava.
“ For Śaka-Saṁvat 1287 expired = Viśvâvasu the date regularly corresponds to Wednesday, the 19th November A.D. 1365, when the 6th tithi of the bright half ended 13 h. 38 m., and the nakshtra was Dhanishṭhâ, by the equal space system and according to Garga for 18 h. 24 m., and by the Brahma-siddhânta for 19 h. 3 m., after mean sunrise.”─ F. K. 6.─ No. 163 of 1892 ; at Bhussanahaḷḷi Vîra-Kumâra-Kampaṇṇa-Oḍeyaru, the son of Vîra-Buk[k]aṇṇ-Oḍeyaru. Śaka-Saṁvat 12[8]8, Parâbhava. 7.─ No. 21 of 1890 ; at Vêppûr. Vîra-Kampaṇa-Uḍaiyar. Parâba[va]-varusham Aśvika-nâyarru pûrvva-pakshshattu pañchamiyum Nâ[ya]rru-kkilamaiyum perra Pûśattu nâḷ. “ For Śaka-Saṁvat 1288 expired = Parâbhava the date, as recorded above, is quite irregular. All that I can suggest regarding it is, that the [in Tamil] strange word for the solar month, Aśvika, may be intended for Âni, and that Pûśattu may be a mistake for Pûrattu (Pûrva-Phalgunî). If these two alterations were adopted, the date would regularly correspond to Sunday, the 14th June A.D. 1366, when the 5th tithi of the bright half ended 4 h. 19 m., and the nakshatra was Pûrva-Phalgunî, by the equal space system for 22 h. 20 m., according to Garga for 10 h. 30 m., and by the Brahma-siddhânta for 5 h. 55 m., after mean sunrise.”─ F. K. 8.─ No. 33 of 1890 ; at Kâñchî. Vî[ra]-Kampaṇa-Uḍaiyar, the son of Bukkaṇa-Uḍaiya[r]. Śakâbdam 12[8]8 l mêl Parâbha[va]-saṁvatsarattu Kumbha-nâ[ya]rru pûrvva-pakshattu êkâdaśiyum V[i]yâla-kk[i]ḷamaiyum perra Pu[ṇa]rpûśattu [nâ]ḷ. “ For Śaka-Saṁvat 1288 expired = Parâbhava the date regularly corresponds to Thursday, the 11th February A.D. 1367, when the 11th tithi of the bright half ended 6 h. 44 m., and the nakshtra was Punarvasu, by the equal space system and according to Garga for 14 h. 27 m., and by the Brahma-siddhânta for 13 h. 47 m., after mean sunrise.”─ F.
