Ce second tome présente d'abord, dans la troisième partie, une analyse des généalogies royales et des mythes dynastiques des Pallava à partir des sources épigraphiques. Vient ensuite, dans les quatrième, cinquième et sixième parties, une analyse du contenu et du développement du panégyrique épigraphique et iconographique des Pallava au cours de trois périodes successives en lesquelles l'histoire de la dynastie peut être divisée: l'Ère du dana (ca. 300-550), l'Ère des monuments (ca. 550-730) et l'Ère du déclin (ca. 730-900).
This book is an in-depth study of the royal ideology of the Pallava dynasty (South India, 4th-9th c. CE). These Hindu kings have left numerous and diverse sources evincing their conceptions of the world and the society, and particularly their self-representation of kingship. Through the examination of epigraphical and iconographical panegyrics as well as of coinage and Tamil court poetry (Nantikkalampakam), the argument is that, beside the brahmanical model of subordination of king to brahmin, there existed a specific royal discourse, at times contentious. The crucial point of divergence is the Pallavas' claim to the double status of kings and brahmins. In this respect, kingship asserts its independence vis-Ã -vis the brahmanical class by incorporating it in its lineage, thus achieving the union of temporal and spiritual powers.
The second volume offers, in the third part, an analysis of royal genealogies and dynastic myths of the Pallavas from epigraphical sources. The fourth, fifth and sixth parts investigate the content and development of the epigraphical and iconographical panegyric of the Pallavas in the course of the three successive periods in the history of the dynasty: the era of dana (ca. 300-550), the era of monuments (ca. 550-730) and the era of decline (ca. 730-900).
