Krishna Sastri XV.—INSCRIPTIONS OF PARTHIVENDRAVARMAN OR PARTHIVENDRADHIPATIVARMAN, ‘WHO TOOK THE HEAD OF VIRA-PANDYA.’ No. 158.—ON THE EAST WALL OF THE VAIKUNTHA-PERUMAL TEMPLE AT UTTARAMALLUR.

This is a similar gift made again in the 3rd year of Pārthivēndra Ādityavarman who took the head of Vīra-Pāṇḍya, to the temples of Tiruvāyppāḍi and Tiruvuṉṉiyūr in Uttaramēru-chaturvēdimaṅgalam. The usual pūrvāchāram was given by Śandiraṉ Eḻunūṟṟuvaṉ alias Nuḷamba Māyilaṭṭi. The name of the king Pārthivēndra-Ādityavarman, while it undoubtedly refers to Pārthivēndravarman, may establish the king's possible connexion with the Chōla Ādityavarman (i.e., Āditya II.).
