The Colas c26.101

c26.101

53. 240 and 241 of 1922. The phrase '*Sabhā-māṟṟañ-jollavum*' cannot simply mean 'speak in the *sabhā*'. The inscriptions often say that they are recorded to the dictation (*śolla*) of some person who is generally a Bhaṭṭa; and I think '*Sabhā-māṟṟañ-jollu*' has reference to this process of dictating for record the conclusions reached by the sabhā. The simple form '*māṟṟam*' occurs in 60 of 1926.
