According to the plates, it took 10 years of officialdom to "implement" a land grant
The donor was none other than the king rajendra I. And he is donating to his raaja guru sarvasiva pandidhar ! And yet it takes 10 long years from the moment the word is uttered by the king in his thirumanjana sala all the way to the moment the grand is actually taken to easaalam.
Do any of you know how long it took to implement aanaimangalam grants of Rajaraja-I?
Looks like we have just progressed in Bureaucracy. There was a recent news item on one of the news channels, how the MP govt disbursed an official aid to two cancer patients, one of them 31 years after the person was dead and the other at 17 years after the person in question was dead. Nice job.
