| 释义 |
The Grahapati Kokkala inscription is an epigraphic record documenting the dedication of a Shiva temple. It dates to 1000-1001 CE. It is one of several Chandella era inscriptions that mention a Grahapati family.[1] It is the earliest known reference to a Grahapati family.[2] Unlike all other Chandella era Grahapati inscriptions which are Jain, this refers to a Shiva temple,[3] although Verse 3 suggests that the builder also worshipped Jinas. LocationIt was found somewhere in Khajuraho or its vivicinity, and is currently located in the Vishvanath temple there.[4] PublicationThe inscription was first published by Cunnigham,[5] and has since been published in several books.[6] Description and contentsThe inscription at Khajuraho, dated Samvat 1056, Kartika (1000–1001 AD), is engraved on a slab and records the dedication of a temple termed Vidyanatha temple.[7] The current location of the Vidyanatha temple is uncertain; the inscription slab has been fixed to the Vishvanath temple.[8] Cunnigham had identified the Beejamandal temple at Jatkara village near Khajuraho as the Vishvanath temple.[9][10] MetricsThe most of the inscription is metrical, with the exception of the initial invocation to Shiva and the samvat at the end. TextIt is a large 22 line text.[11] It starts with invocation Om Namah Shivaya.
