Dr. M.G.S Narayanan states that Sreemolavsam PALLY which
received free land from king Vikramadithya Varaguna as per Parthivapuram Copper Plate
deed of C.E 829,Thazhekkaavu PALLY, Kinaloor PALLY, Alathoor PALLY,
Thirumannoor PALLY which received lands from Kings during 9,10 & 11
centuries were all JAIN Pallys or Jain TEMPLES.
Then why MGS accepted without doubt like others, that
the PALLY in Kurakeni Kollam (THARISA PALY) is a CHRISTIAN CHURCH?
All the PALLYs in Venadu during those period were JAIN TEMPLES-Jain PALLYs. There was
no CHURCH at all in Venad .
The unbelievable, incomplete History
(a mystery)
MGS Narayanan states the history of Tharisapply Copper
Plates in his famous Perumals of Kerala, Cosmo Books Trichur 2013 p78
For the history of these plates, see TA.S 11, 1, pp60-62.
The Syrian Christian bishop of Angamaly deposited them with the Portuguese at
the beginning
Of the 16th century .With the surrender of
cochin by the Portuguese to the Dutch , and later by the Dutch to the English, they
also changed the hands.They were traced
By Col. Macaulay ,British resident in Travancore ,in
1806,and handed over to the Kottayam seminary of Syrian Christians. During the
disputes between the two sections
Only 4 out of 6 plates were traced by Gopinatha Rao in 1916
and published with new translation and note
But how the plates reached the hands of Angamaly Bishop
It is statedthat there were 6 plates. The present
description is that there are only 5 plates with writings only on 9 sides only.
The facing sideof 1st plate shows no writing
.But the back sideof 5th plate contains writing. Then
why there is no writing on facing side of 1st plate? What happened
to the 6th plate?
Who will answers?
Gopinatha Rao hides the publication of the text in 1844 by
Gundert in Madras Journal of Literature and Science X111,!,p 118
Dr.S. N. Sadasivan in his Social History of India narrates the story how the Kottayam
Bishop prompted Col Macaulay to search the plates.
He informed that the plates were given by the King for their
” St. Theresa Church in Kochi”.
But how the Angamaly Bishop got the Plates?
That is a fable.
Actually the Plates were with Dariya Chettys
of Kollam. They kept them in Thevalakara Jain
Pally. Later Thevalakara jain pally was converted to Siva Temple
by Brahmins and the plate remained in the temple. During the
looting by notorious Portuguese robber Manuel de Faria e Sousa (CE 1590-1649)
Tharisa pally Copper Plate is purely a Vellala cheppedu and
was neither Syrian ,Christian or Kottayam cheppedu.
All the three ruling kings of the Chera, the Chola and
thePadya were Vellalas (see T.Pazhaini Social changes among Vellalas of
Nachinad ,Pen Books 2003 p 27)
So Sthanu Revi Emperor(as per Christian Historians) or King(as per MGS) who ruled during CE 849
was a Vellala ruler.
King (as per Christian Historians), Governor (as per MGS
Narayan etc) Ayyan Atikal was a Vellala
petti ruler( See K.Kanakasabai Pillai Tamils eighteen hundred years ago
Asian Educational Services N.Delhi 1997 p 116 Soranadu
Kunjan Pillai, Vellaras of Kerala in Sahyadri SanukkalileSamskarika pazhama ,Anjali
Publishers 1986 P
The land donated to Tharisapplly by Ayyan Atikal belonged to
Vellalas (poomikku karalar Vellalar)
Four families of Vellalas were donated along with the land
for farming ,rearing cattle ,keeping accounts and registers ,measuring lands
and writing documents on palmyra leaves with styles and also for supplying
and buying groceries and agricultural products ( according
to Edgar Thurston& K. Rengachary,
Castes and Tribes of South India Vol 7 pp 361-389 Vellala swere
landlords,tenents, shepherds ,clerks, accountants, shop keepers ,weavers and also farmers ,Palmyra writers ).
The legal document was prepared by Sundaran the Vellala
document writer.
All the 17 witnesses( See Hyacinte Anquitel Perron Zend
Avesta Paris 1771 pp 1776-177)in the group testimonial’s were Vellala merchants
So the Kurakeni Kollam Copper plate is actually a VELLALA Cheppedu and nota Christian, Sriyan or Kottayam Cheppedu
