Indra Vizha during parantaka times
  • vj_episteme
    hi sps sir

    do you have SSI vol VIII... i am looking for this inscription but the
    page is missing in my copy.

    A text of an inscription of Parantaka I (No. 529
    refers to the celebration of the time-honoured festival of Indra, the
    neglect of which,
    it is stated in the twin Tamil epics, would be attended with great
    disaster to the
    country.
