[...] Temple worship is seen to be performed by 鈥溑毦北共共宄蟪静贯箛a鈥�, a term occurring very frequently in the inscriptions. They are assisted by the 鈥淧aric膩raka鈥� who are also 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺.

: Shodhganga: Temple management in the 膧gamas (history)艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 (啶多た啶掂が啷嵿ぐ啶距す啷嵿ぎ啶�) or 艢iv膩c膩rya refers to 膧di艣aiva priests also known as 膧c膩rya.鈥擳he priest scholars in the field were 艢iv膩c膩ryas of famous 尘补峁环 lineages. There were experts in all four paths covered by the 膧gamas, namely carya, kriya, yoga and 箩帽腻苍补. Within the temple milieu, there were specialists in various types of ritual鈥�补濒补峁僰腻谤补, 补产丑颈峁办补, utsava, and so on. The 艢iv膩c膩ryas were fluent in both Sanskrit and Tamil and frequently composed scholarly works in both languages. Several of the canonical works in Tamil were composed by Aru岣穘andi 艢iv膩c膩rya and Um膩pati 艢iv膩c膩rya and Kacciappa 艢iv膩c膩rya. The celebrated paddhatis on the 膧gamas are composed by 艢iv膩c膩ryas.
The 膧c膩ryas also had to perform additional services according to the endowments of individual devotees. There are numerous epigraphical records of such transactions where the donor makes an endowment in cash or kind to the temple, and leaves it either in the care of the 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 who then invested it or entered into a back contract with a supplier or directly enters into a contract with a supplier to regularly supply the material required for the special service as required. In either case, the 艣ivabr膩hma峁嘺 had to carry out the special service for the donor, using the material provided.
The 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 also made endowments to be managed by other 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 of the temple. A distinction is made here between the 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 and the K膩峁噄-u岣峚iya 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺. It can also be inferred from epigraphical evidence that in many cases, the 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺 were also in charge of overall administration of the temple. The endowments made for repair and maintenance work were also left in charge of the 艢颈惫补产谤腻丑尘补峁嘺.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
