The first part of the present volume in the South Indian Inscriptions series contains 300 inscriptions collected during the year 1907-08. It was decided to bring out this volume in two parts in order to avoid the delay in the publication of this series. The Archaeological Survey of India established a computer unit in the Tamil Nadu Government Press at Chennai. The software for Tamil, Telugu, Grantha, Kannada, Malayalam, Devanagari, Roman scripts and for the special symbols occurring in the Dravidian and Sanskrit Inscriptions was prepared by me with the technical knowhow of Sri. S. Kailasanathan, the Managing Director of Mis. Microsense Computers Pvt Ltd, Chennai and his colleagues for the purpose of publishing the South Indian Inscriptions Series. I am thankful to the Director General , As I and to Sri S. Kailasanathan for their encouragement and help extended to me to create the software for the first time the country. Most of the records included in the present volume are in Tamil. Inscriptions copied during the years 1907 and 1909 have been published long back in the XXII and XXVI Volumes respectively of this series. The remaining 306 inscriptions of the present volume will find a place in part II of this series. I am sure that 606 records of this year's collection which have been arranged serially will be useful to the epigraphists and researchers of South Indian History.
