Summary: The Devil Worship of the Tuluvas written by A.C. Burnell is perhaps the first English work on Tulu Paddanas. A.C. Burnell was the judge in Mangalore between 1872 and 1874. During the same period, he made a study on the Bhuta worship of the Tuluvas. But he passed away in 1882 before he could publish it. However, in 1883 the manuscript reached the hands of Major R.C. Temple, the then editor of the Indian Antiquary. After getting transliteration of the Paddanas by Rev. Manner in 1887, he published them serially in the Indian Antiquary from 1894 to 1897. The eyewitness evidence of A.C. Burnell along with the translation and transliteration of the Paddanas are published here. At this juncture, Prof. A.V. Navada and Dr Denis Fernandes have come to my assistance in publishing this work They have carefully selected the original articles from the Indian Antiquary and republished them with a contextual introduction and indices so that the entire work will go well with the modern perspective.
