yiṉpuṟa Tr. reads iṉpuṟu. Here and in the following foot-notes, Tr. denotes the Tirumalai inscription of Rājēndra-Chōḷa I, published in Ep. Ind., Vol. IX, pp. 229 ff. neṭitiyal Here and in the following foot-notes, Tj. denotes the Tanjore inscription of Rājēndra-Chōḷa I published in Vol. II, above, pp. 105 ff. Tj. and Tr. read neṭutiyal. cūḻū° cūḻ is the reading in Tr. and Tj. karumaraṇ muraṇ is the reading in Tr. and Tj. porutaṭa This reading occurs in Nos. 9, 10 and 82 of South-Ind. Inscrs., Vol. II. muyaṅkiyil Tr. has mucaṅkiyal, while Tj. reads muyaṅkiyal. The change of ca and ya is quite ordinary. Aḷapperum Tj. has Aḷapparum. piṭiyial Tr. and Tj. read piṭiyal. Correct piṭiyil into piṭiyal mutir Tr. reads paṭa. vaḷa nāmaṇaiykkoṇaiyum In place of vaḷa nāmaṇaiykkoṇaiyum, Tr. reads vaḷaiy nāmaṇaikkoṇamum, but Tj. has vaḷanāmaṇai kkoṇaiyum. veñcilai For veñcilai (= of fierce arrow) of Tr. and Tk., Tj. has veñciṉa (= of fierce anger). pācaṭaippa ḻaṉa mācuṇitecamum For pācaṭai paḻaṇamācuṇi tecamum of Tj. and Tk., Tr. has pācuṭai paḻanaṉ mācuṇitecamum. vaṇpūrttiyaiyātiñakara vaṇpūrttiyai yātiñakar of the Tk., generally occurs as vaṇkirtti āti nakar (Tr. and Tj.). The change of nakar into ñakar is correct. kulattintirātaṉai For kulattintirātaṉai of Tj. and Tk., Tr. has kulattirataṉai where ntira is perhaps omitted before rataṉai. kiṭ ṭaruñ For kiṭṭaruñ of Tj. and Tk., Tr. has ciṭṭarum which is perhaps an engraver's mistake. muraṇuka For muṟaṇuka of Tj. and Tk., Tr. has muraṇuṟa. toṭukaḻaṟ caṅkuvoṭṭal The reading toṭu kaḻaṟ caṅkuvoṭṭal agrees with that given in Tj., but Tr. has caṅku koṭṭaṉ. veṟimalarttīrat teṟipuṉaṟ kaṅkaiyum While Tj. reads veṟimalarttīrttat teṟipuṉalkkaṅkai, Tr. has veṟimaṇaṟṟīrttat teṟipuṉaṟkaṅkai; and Tk. veṟimalarttīrat teṟipuṉaṟkaṅkai. ṉaṭuvaṭ For ṉaṭuvaṭ of Tk., ṉaṭuvuṭ is the reading in Tj. Both are correct. vākaiyam While Tk. reads vākaiyam, Tj. has vākayam. porukaṭakkumpakkari In place of kaṭakkumpakkari, an Uttaramallūr inscription reads kaṭal kumpakkari. (see note 6 on page 107 above). viccātara A different reading of this is viccātira: see South-Ind. Inscrs., Vol. II, p. 107. śrīvijaiyamum Tj. reads śrīvicaiyamum and one of the Tirupvallam inscritions reads cīrvicaiyamum. maṉmalai Tj. reads vaṉmalai. yilaṅkācopamum Read Ilaṅkācokamum as in Tj. viḷaippain tū Tj. reads viḷaippantū. vaḷaippaintū Tj. reads vaḷaippantū. tīyata Tj. has tita. mātamaliṅkamuṅ mātamaliṅkamum occurs as mātamāliṅkamum in Tj. teṉakkalar For teṉakkalar, Tj. has teṉakkavār. kaḻaṟkāvaṟ kaṭalkkāval is the reading in Tj.

Hail! Prosperity! In the eighteenth year (of the reign of) king Parakēsari-varman alias Uḍaiyār Śrī-Rājēndra-Chōḷadēva, in (his) life of high pros-perity, while Tiru (Lakshmī), having become constant, was increasing, (and) while the goddess of the great earth, the goddess of victory in battle, and the matchless goddess of fame rejoiced to have become his great queens,—conquered with (his) great, warlike army (the following):—

Iḍaiduṟai-nāḍu, Vanavāsi, whose unbroken hedge of forest (trees) was extending; Koḷḷippākkai, whose walls were surrounded with brushwood; Maṇṇaikkaḍakkam, whose fortification was unapproachable; the crown of the king of Īḻam who came to close quarters in fighting; the exeedingly fine crowns of the queens of that (king); the beautiful crown and Indra's pearl necklace, which the king of the south (i.e., the Pāṇḍya) had previously deposited with that (king of Īḻam); the whole Īḻa-maṇḍala (on) the transparent sea; the crown praised by many and the garland emitting beautiful rays, family treasures, which the (kings of) Kēraḷa, whose armies possessing missile weapons, rightfully wore; many ancient islands whose old, great guard was the ocean which resounds with its conches; the crown of pure gold, worthy of Tiru (Lakshmī) which Paraśurāma, having considered the fortifications of Śāndimattīvu impregnable, had deposited (there), when, in anger (he) bound the kings twenty-one times in battle; the seven and a half lakshas of Iraṭṭapāḍi (which was) strong by nature, (and which he took), together with immeasurable fame, (from) Jayasiṁha, who, out of fear, turned his back at Muśaṅgi and hid himself (thus earning) great infame; the principal great mountains (which contained) the nine treasures (of Kubēra); Śakkarakōṭṭam (guarded by) brave warriors; the ancient and strong northern Madura-maṇḍala; Nāmaṇaikkōṇam, which was surrounded by dense groves; Pañchapaḷḷi (protected by) warriors (who bore) cruel bows; the moth (-grown) ancient Māśuṇidēśa; a large heap of family-treasures, together with many (other) treasures (which he carried away) after having captured Indraratha of the old race of the moon, together with (his) family, in a fight which took place in the beautiful city of Ādinagar, filled with unceasing abundance; Oḍḍa-vishaya, which was difficult to approach, (and which he subdued in) close fight; the good Kōśalai-nāḍu, where Brāhmaṇas abounded; Daṇḍabutti, in whose gardens beetles abounded (and which he acquired) after having destroyed Dharmapāla (in) a hot battle; Takkaṇa-Lāḍam, whose fame reached (all) directions (and which he occupied) after having forcibly attacked Raṇaśūra; Vaṅgāḷa-dēśa, where the rain-wind never stopped (and from which) Gōvindachandra fled, having descended (from his) male elephant; elephants of rare strength and treasures of women, (which he seized), after having been pleased to put to fright on a hot battle-field, Mahīpāla, decked (as he was) with ear-rings, slippers and bracelets; Uttira-Lāḍam in the neighbourhood of the expansive ocean abounding in pearls; and the Gaṅgā, whose waters dashed against the banks filled with fragrant flowers; and (who), having despatched many ships in the midst of the rolling sea and having caught Samgrāma-vijayōttuṅgavarman, the king of Kaḍāram, along with (his) rutting elephants, which put up rare fight and brought victory,—(took) the large heap of treasures, which (that king) had rightfully accumulated; the (arch called) Vidyādhara-tōraṇa put up at the “gate” of his wide inland city provided with accoutrements of war; the “jewel-gate”, adorned with great splendour; the “gate of large jewels” the prosperous Śrī-Vishaiya; Paṉṉai with a ghat of (bathing) water; the ancient Malaiyūr (with) a fort situated on a fine hill; Māyiruḍiṅgam, surrounded by the deep sea (as) a moat; Ilaṅgāśōgam (i.e., Laṅkāśōka) undaunted (in) fierce battles; Māppappāḷam, having abundant high waters as defence; Mēvilimbaṅgam, having fine walls as defence; Vaḷaippandūṟu, possessing (both) cultivated land (?) and jungle; the principal (city of) Takkōlam, praised by great men (versed in) the sciences; the island of Mādamaliṅgam, of strong battlements; Ilāmuri-dēśam, provided with scientifically ripe excessive strength; the great Nakkavāram, whose gardens (abounded in) flowers dribbling honey; and Kaḍāram, of fierce strength, protected by foot-soldiers wearing kaḻal; the dēvadāna lands (belonging to the temple) of the Mahādēva at Veṅgūrkkaḷa-Tirukkaḷar in Puṟaṅgarambai-nāḍu (a sub-division) of Arumoḻidēva-vaḷanāḍu, measured (1/2) (vēli) 19(1/4), (1/160) and . . . Here is a figure resembling pa.. This land was inclusive of excess and deficiency (in measurement) of the surrounding parts.
