Book Description

Preface Handy Reference Books are always welcome to the scholars, specially those who have to carry on their researches at places without suitable libraries. The Descriptive Catalogue of Orissan C. P. Inscriptions is published as an aid to scholars working on the Ancient and Medieval History of Orissa. On the recommendation of the Advisory Committee for Research Section the State Government were pleased to sanction publication of a series of such Reference Books. The Descriptive Catalogue of Orissan Copper-plate Inscriptions is one of such books, the compilation and edition of which was entrusted to the under-signed. The Book consists of two parts, the Introduction and the Catalogue. In the latter part the historical facts gleaned from copper-plate inscriptions are arranged in 13 columns. The catalogue does not cover all the copper-plate inscriptions discovered so far. It deals only with the inscriptions of the kings of the early dynasties of Kalinga and Utkala, like, the Matharas, Väishithas, Vigrahas, Manas, Datta's, S'ailődbhavas and the early Ganga's of Kalinga including the S'vetaka branch. In the Introduction the matter gleaned from the inscriptions and the different theories relating to them have been discussed at length so that scholars may have all the materials at their disposal. It is hoped that the book will be found useful to scholars.

Introduction The kingdom of Kalinga is get mentioned in the early Vedic literature. It is mentioned in the later Vedic literary works and also in the early Buddhist works, like the Jataka stories. It is also mentioned in the two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. So we may presume that Kalinga was counted as one of the important kingdoms of India by the 8th century B. C., if not earlier. But we have very few materials with which we can have even a rough idea of the history of Kalinga in the ancient period. The history of Kalinga begins in the 3rd century B. C. when the Maurya Emperor Asoka invaded Kalinga. The thirteenth Rock Ediet and the two special Kalinga Edicts provide us with some authentic facts about the Kalinga War and the Maurya rule in Kalinga under Asoka. But the thread is again lost after As'oka. The next landmark in the history of Kalinga is the glorious rule of Emperor Khåravela who has left us an account of thirteen years of his reign in the Hathigumphå inscription. We can form a fair idea of the condition of Kalinga under Khäravela. But again, the traces of the history of Kalinga is lost for about 21 centuries, till the reign of Samudra Gupta the account of whose southern expedition is contained in the famous Allahabad pillar inscription. From that source we come to know that Kalinga, in the middle of the 4th century A. D., was divided into some petty kingdoms.
