Abstract

A seven-line Ṭākarī inscription on the doorjamb of the Hiḍimbā Devī temple at Manali has as yet remained undeciphered. However, the last line of the inscription was misread by J.Ph. Vogel in 1903–04, and Hirananda (1907–08) simply followed the date earlier suggested by Vogel. Neither has this historic document been translated in extenso by Vogel or Hirananda, or any other scholar. This article offers a complete translation of the inscription, its historical significance, and re-establishes the date of the temple from ad 1553 to ad 1551. This was during the reign of Bahādur Singh, the ruler of Kulu, who completed the present structure of the temple, and performed a yajña at the temple of the goddess Hiḍimbā during its consecration.
重新审视库鲁(喜马偕尔邦)马纳利 Hiḍimbā Devī 神庙的建造年代:书信证据研究
马纳利 Hiḍimbā Devī 神庙门框上的七行塔卡里铭文至今仍未被破译。然而,1903-04 年,J.P. 沃格尔(J.P. Vogel)误读了碑文的最后一行,而希拉南达(Hirananda,1907-08 年)只是沿用了沃格尔早先提出的日期。沃格尔、希拉南达或其他学者都没有全文翻译过这一历史文献。本文提供了该碑文的完整译文及其历史意义,并重新确定了该寺庙的建造时间为公元 1553 年至公元 1551 年。当时正值库鲁统治者巴哈杜尔-辛格(Bahādur Singh)统治时期,他完成了寺庙现在的建筑结构,并在希旺巴女神庙举行祝圣仪式时进行了 yajña。
