A garland of verses
The term Thirumaalai consists of two words. Usually, Thiru is used as a prefix to express respect and reverence. Maalai refers to a garland. With Bhakti as the thread, verses as flowers, and tears of joy as water to touch and ease the making, Thondaradippodi Azhwar strung together beautiful, melodious, and melting verses on Lord Ranganatha, and titled them Thirumaalai. The Azhwar is the incarnation of 'Vaijayanthi Mala', a garland that adorns the chest of Lord Vishnu. His actual name is Vipranarayanan. He wanted to be the dust in the feet of devotees and renamed himself as Thondaradippodi. Thirukkudandhai Dr. Venkatesh said in a discourse that the Azhwar composed exclusively about Lord Ranganatha. Thirumaalai is the translation of the Sanskrit text Vishnu Dharmam into pure Tamil. Nama Sankeerthanam, or chanting the divine names of God, is the essence of Vishnu dharmam. Thondaradippodi Azhwar taught us the importance of chanting the names of God through Thirumaalai. It is written in a clear and concise style, making it easy to understand. It contains 45 verses. The great Acharya Sri Periavachan Pillai has divided Thirumaalai into eight parts for his commentary. The Azhwar says the bliss of chanting is more than the bliss of Srivaikuntam. He wanted neither Bhuloka (the Earth) nor Srivaikuntam (the heaven), but wished to be in Srirangam (Bhuloka Vaikuntam), existing in Bhuloka and experiencing Vaikuntam. The Azhwar says chanting mechanically the names of the Lord, even without deep devotion, a serene mind or self-control will remove all our sins. Just as Vibhishana befriended Rama to conquer Ravana, the Azhwar befriended God's names to conquer Yama, the Lord of Death. Undertaking penance is the most important in the Krita Yuga. The performance of Yagnas is predominant in the Treta Yuga. Rendering Archanas is essential in the Dwapara yuga. Chanting the names of God is considered the most effective and easiest medium in the Kali Yuga to derive God's blessings.

Vijayanagara era inscriptions found in Penukonda
Penukonda: Two significant Vijayanagara-era inscriptions were discovered near the Basavanna Bavi (stepwell) in Penukonda, the second capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. One of the inscriptions, engraved in Kannada script on the right wall of the stepwell, reads 'Sree Trayambaka Saranu,' meaning 'Lord Trayambakeshwara, protect us.' The inscription also includes symbols associated with the Vijayanagara Empire the Sun, Moon, Sword, and Sivalinga. The art and architecture of the Vijayanagara Empire, a ceremonial mandapam east of the Kasi Visweswara Temple. The second inscription, located at the entrance of the stepwell, records the construction of the structure during the reign of Vijayanagara King Achyuta Deva Raya in April 1532 CE. The inscription, etched on a stone slab, opens with a Sanskrit verse praising Lord Shiva 'Namastunga Siraschumbi Chandra Chamara Charave…' and the construction took place in Salivahana Saka 1454, Nandana year, 15th day of Vaishakha month. The stepwell, situated east of the Kasi Visweswara temple, also features carvings of deities such as Siva, Ganesha, and Lakshmi on its western wall.

1,000-year-old copper plates unearthed in Telangana's Suryapet district reveal land grant to Siva temple
HYDERABAD: Nine sets of ancient copper plates recently unearthed from a Muslim graveyard in Kodada village of Suryapet district, have brought to light a significant royal land grant issued by Vengi Chalukya ruler Bhima I, who reigned between 892 and 922 CE. The inscription records the donation of the village Chunugiyapundi for the maintenance and worship at the Sakalesvara Siva temple in Kakarti village, situated within the Vengi-mandala of Kondapalli vishaya. The grant was made during the administration of Vetti, grandson of Vigraha Vetti. The royal order was issued by Kadeyaraja, the Superintendent of the Royal Camp, while the inscription was engraved by Kondapacharya. The plates, written in Sanskrit using Telugu script of the 9th-10th century CE, bear the royal seal of the Eastern Chalukyas—a varaha (boar) symbolising the dynasty with the inscription Svasti Sri Tribhuvanamkusa. The text also details the royal lineage from Kubja Vishnuvardhana to Chalukya Bhima I. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Director (Epigraphy) Munirathnam Reddy said that the inscription offers crucial insights into the religious practices, administrative systems, and cultural life of the Eastern Chalukyas, underlining the historical significance of the Vengi region in early medieval South India.
