They throw a flood of light on the spiritual and tem- poral aspects of a society and provide valuable information about the social and economic life of the period. The deciphering and classification of inscriptions engraved on the temple walls at Tiru- mala and Tirupati acquires much significance in this context. When the Devasthanams took up the formidable task of classifying and transcribing these inscriptions way back in the 20’s it opened up a new chapter in the historical research on Tirumala Tirupati temples. Sri Sadhu Subrahmanya Sastry who was entrusted with deciphering and classifying them had done it with meticulous care. In the ‘Report’ Sri Subrahmanya Sastry has given a general survey of the inscriptions during the Pallava, Chola, Pandya and Vijayanagar periods besides incorporating some of the inscriptions during the period of the Mahants. It may be interesting to note that while the early inscriptions are recorded in Tamil script, the bulk of the inscriptions belonging to the Vijayanagar period are in Telugu and Kannada. The present reprint of the TTD Epigraphical series consisting of seven volumes, besides the Report will enable the readers to havea comprehensive knowledge about the sacred temples at Tirumala and Tirupati and their growth and development through centuries. We have great pleasure in bringing out the reprints of the Inscriptions which had been out of print for several years, for the benefit of the discerning public.
