2^8 Report on the MacJcenzle Manuscripts, |Qcr. 



No. 140. A document containing the names of the Jluvar or certain 

 special Valshnava devotees, with the times and places of their birth. 



An inscription commemorating the gift of certain lands ; it does not 

 appear to what fane. 



Another commemorating a donation, by whom not stated, to snippljr 

 food for the fane at Sri-Permatur, 



A copper-plate Inscription. 



Dated in Sal. Sac. 1643. Commemorates a gift of thirteen villages, in 

 free tenure, through the means of Ramanuja-achdrrjar. 



There follows a list of sundry matters, contained within the fane of 

 Varada raja at Conjeveram. 



Afterwards there is a list of kings or rulers, with dates ; being a resume 

 of the contents of preceding inscriptions ; omitting every thing except 

 the year, when given, and name of the king, or ruler, mentioned. As 

 these appear, in brief, in the foregoing abstract, in a compressed form, 

 there is no need of minutely following the said resume. 



A list in the Sanscrit language, and Granfha character, is appended ? 

 containing a catalogue of various books in the said language ; the minute 

 specification of which, in this place, is needless. It was very probably 

 made use of in compiling a general catalogue of Hindu literature, ad- 

 verted to in my second report ; which may be consulted. 



There is also a detail of the succession of the line of Tattdcharyart 

 head Brak nan, upwards ; of some use in chronologically fixing the 

 origin of the fane. The names of Sancardcharjjar and of Ramaiiajdchd' 

 ryar appear among others. 



Manuscript book No. 4. — Countermark 48 and 49. 



Sectionl. Tamharavani (Tamraparni) Mahatmyam, or legend of the 

 river at Tinnevelly. 



This river being among those that are deemed specially sacred, it of 

 course has its legend, contained in this paper ; to the following general 

 purport. 



Reference to the Trimurti, to Munis ; to the place of their residence 

 yielding every thing desired, and termed Naimisaranya ; to the four 

 Vedas^ the 18 Pur anas and to Pard-sacti, the consort of the Supreme
