Old stone inscription of Konthoujam Lairemma (AKA Konthoujam Lairembi) - in Classical Meitei language (in archaic Meetei script) of Kangleipak civilisation state

Summary edit

Description
English: Old stone inscription of Konthoujam Lairemma (AKA Konthoujam Lairembi) - in Classical Meitei language (in archaic traditional Meetei Mayek writing system) of Kangleipak civilisation state (medieval Manipur realm).

It is written in the archaic Meitei script and archaic Manipuri language and is considered to have been written in two stages, i.e. the first seven lines have been assigned to the period of King Khagemba (1592-1652 CE) while the second record of the remaining seven lines is attributed to the time of King Charairongba (1697-1709 CE).

It is in the sacred temple complex of the Goddess of Konthoujam clan in Konthoujam village, which is on the southern side of the National Highway No. 53 in the west of Imphal city. The medium used for inscribing of this record is sandstone. All in all this record consists of fourteen lines. From the fifth to the seventh lines, the letters on the record being highly damaged and distorted, proper study on these few lines has been difficult and not fruitful. Though it bears no date, its palaeographic study suggests the writing to have been done at two different stages. The first seven lines have been assigned to the period of Meitei King Khagemba (1592-1652 CE) and the second record of the remaining seven lines is attributed to the time of Meitei King Charairongba (1697-1709 CE).
