Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 8 Art. I. - On the Geographical Limits History and Chronology of the Chera Kingdom of Ancient India, by Mr. J. Dowson. Tradition and native records represent the southern portion of the Indian peninsula as being anciently divided into three contemporary kingdoms. 1. The Pandya. 2. Chola or Sora. 3. Chera, Sera or Konga. Of the first, a valuable account has been supplied by Professor Wilson, in Vol. III. of the Society´s Journal; and of the other two, slight sketches have been given by the same learned writer, in the Introduction to his Catalogue of the M´Kenzie Collection: a more detailed notice of the last is the object of this paper. The notices of this kingdom which have been published, have been bawn chiefly from a Tamil memoir, in the M´Kenzie Collection, called "Konga desa Charitra," or "Konga desa Rjakkal," of which a translation exists in the Library at the East India House; it has been noticed, in Professor Wilson´s Catalogue, at p. 199, Vol. I., and in page 1 of the Rev. W. Taylor´s Analysis of that Collection. This Memoir gives the history of the Chera dymasty, of those Chola monarchs who held the country of Chera by conquest, and also of the Hoyisa or Bellala and the Vijayanagara dynasties, into whose power it successively fell. It is the only paper in the collection from which any useful notices of the Chera monarchs can be obtained, and the history of that dynasty rests at present mainly upon it. In style it is stated to be very different from the generality of Hindu writings of this class, and independently of its being our only authority, it merits a fuller notice than has yet been given of it. From the before-mentioned translation, the following Abstract of the first portion which relates to the Chera dynasty and its Chola conquerors, has been prepared, in which all important and useful information on that subject has been retained; the parts relating to the Bellala and Vijayanagara kings will be useful in any future accounts of those dynasties, but are unnecessary for our present purpose.
