bore the names Araśanārāyaṇan and Āḷappirandān. The twelfth year record, i.e., Inscription No. V, comes from Tiruvadi and registers the assignment of incomes arising from pāḍikāval and other taxes from Kaṇṇamaṅgalam, Māṇinallūr, Koṭṭiḷāmpākkam and Toruppāḍi of Kil-Āmūr-nāḍu. Kāṭṭupākkam of Ānāṅgūr-nāḍu, besides some other lands in Ādirājamaṅgalliyapuram, for worship and offerings to the temple of Tiruvīraṭṭānam-Uḍaiyār at Tiruvadi, by Paññāgamuttayan-Āḷappirandān Araśanārāyaṇan alias Kulōttuṅgaśōla Kachchiyarāyan of Kūḍaḷūr. It is significant that all the villages herein mentioned are stated to have formed part of what fell to the share of the chief. At the end of the record it is stated that the gift made by him will not be rescinded by his elder brother or by the other members of the family. From the record under reference it is evident that the two brothers were living amicably, having received from their father, who was then living, the right to the incomes of certain villages. From these two inscriptions we learn that the full name and title of this chief was Paḷḷi Āḷappirandān Paññāgamuttaraiyan Araśanārāyaṇan Kulōttuṅgaśōḷa Kachchiyarāyan and that he had an elder brother who appears to be none other than Ēliśaimōgaṇ. More direct information regarding the relationship of the two chiefs is furnished in an inscription[1] of Tiruveṇṇainallūr which states that Kūḍal Āḷappirandān Araśanārāyaṇan alias Kāḍavarāyan made a gift of certain rexes leviable on certain temple lands to the temple itself, for the welfare of the donor, his elder brother Āḷappirandān Ēliśaimōgan alias Kāḍavārāyan and his family.

It has been stated above that two inscriptions of Kulōttuṅga II mention Ēliśaimōgaṇ. One of these, Inscription No. IV, dated in the 13th year, which is left unfinished seems to register the assignment of the chief’s income consisting of taxes including pāḍikāval accruing from the villages that belonged to him, to the temple of Tiruvadi for worship and offerings. The chief is styled Paññāgamuttaraiyan Āḷappirandān Ēliśaimōgan alian Kulōttuṅgaśōḷa Kāḍavarāyan of Kūḍaḷūr in Peruganūr-nāḍu, a subdivision of Tirumunaippāḍi-nāḍu. The villages from which he was deriving taxes, viz. Śiruvāgūr, Dēvanūr and Kīl-Kumāramāṅgalam are stated to be situated in the same Peruganūr-nāḍu. In the second inscription,[2] which is dated two years later and which comes from Vṛiddhāchalam, the chief bears all the above names and titles except Pāññāgamuttaraiyan. Here he is said to have built a pavilion for the mahāsnapana of the god and called it Ēliśaimōgan-tirumaṇḍapam. The dates if these two inscriptions are A.D. 1146 and 1148. From the fact that this chief Eliśaimōgan Kāḍavarāyan is said, in the verse-inscriptions, to have conquered the four quarters, we are enabled to assign to his time two other inscriptions[3] dated in the 6th year of Parakēsarivarman Rājarāja (A. D. 1152). In both, the chief is styled Kūḍal Āḷappirandān Mōgan alias Rājarāja Kāḍavarāyan, and in one of them he gets the attribute Nāludikkumvenrān. From these[4] two records we learn that the surname Kulōttuṅgaśōla Kāḍavarāyan, which he bore in the 13th and 15th year records of Kulōttuṅga II, had been changed into Rājarāja Kāḍavarāyan in the subsequent reign. This chief, Āḷappirandān Ēliśaimōgan alias Kulōttuṅgaśōla Kāḍavarāyan, is reported to have made a gift of pāḍikāval and other incomes from certain villages for worship in the temple of Tirumuṭṭamuḍaiya-Mahādēva at Śrīmushṇam in the sixth year of Rājarāja II (i.e., A. D. 1152) for the merit of himself and his descendants.[5] The same chief figures in an 8th year record6 (A. D. 1154) of Rājarāja II ; and seems also to be referred to in an inscription7 of the 10th year (A. D. 1156) of the same king.
