EPIGRAPHIA INDICA 875.─ South-Ind. Inscr. Vol. III. No. 26, p. 47. Karuvûr (Paśupatîśvara temple) Tamil inscription of Konêrimêlkoṇḍân,[1] dated “ on the four-hundred-and-thirty-eighth (!) day ” of the 23rd year (of his reign). Since the king settled certain temple servants in a quarter which was called Vîra-Śôlan-Tirumaḍaiviḷâgam after his own name, it follows that his actual name was Vîra-Chôḷa. 876.─ South-Ind. Inscr. Vol. II. No. 61, p. 246, and Plate. Tanjore (Râjarâjêśvara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin Kônêrinmaikoṇḍân, dated on the 334th day of the second year (of his reign). 877.─ South-Ind. Inscr. Vol. II. No. 21, p. 111. Tanjore (Râjarâjêśvara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin Kônêrinmaikoṇḍân, dated on the seventh day of the year opposite the fifth year (of his reign). 878.─South-Ind. Inscr. Vol. III. No. 25, p. 47. Karuvûr (Paśupatîśvara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin, the glorious Kônêrinmaikoṇḍân, containing an order which was to take effect from the month of Âḍi of the 15th (year of his reign). 879.─South-Ind. Inscr. Vol. II. No. 22, p, 113. Tanjore (Râjarâjêśvara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin Kônêrinmaikoṇḍân, dated on the sixty-fourth day of the thirty-fifth year (of his reign).
880.─ Ś. 1127.─ Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 153. Conjeeveram (Aruḷâḷa-Perumâḷ temple) inscription of (the Telugu-Chôḍa[2]) Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi, recording a grant which was made at Nellûr,[3] at the time of his coronation :─ (L. 20).─ sârayôgyê Śak-âbdê. After a number of mythical ancestors, the inscription mentions (in the solar race) Kalikâla ; in his race, Madhurântaka Pottappi-Chôḷa (founded the town of Pottappi in the Andhra country) ; in his family, Vetta (Betta) [I.]. In his family was king Siddhi ; his younger brother Vetta (Betta) [II.] ; his eldest son Dâyabhîma ; his younger brother Êrasiddhi ; had three sons, Manmasiddhi, Vetta (Betta) [III.] (who did not reign), and Tammusiddhi (described as the son of Gaṇḍagôpâla [Êrasiddhi] and Śrîdêvî).─ 881.─ Ś. 1129.─ Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 123. Tiruvâlaṅgâḍu (Vaṭâraṇyêśvara temple) inscription of Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi :─ (L. 18).─ Śak-âbdê dhîrayâyini. Genealogy substantially as in No. 880, but the names Pottappi and Vetta are here given as Pottapi and Betta. After Pottapi-Chôḷa the inscription mentions Tiluṅgavidya, while it omits Vetta (Betta) [I.]. The name Manmasiddhi is also given as Manmasiddha. 882.─ Ś. 1129.─ Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 126. Tiruppâśûr (Vâchîśvara temple) inscription of Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi :─ (L. 57).─ Śak-âbdê dhîrayâyini. Genealogy, with some omissions, generally as in No. 881 ; but the inscription mentions Nallasiddhi as an elder brother of Êrasiddhi. 883.─ Ś. 1129.─ Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 149. Tiruvorriyûr (Âdhipurîśvara temple) inscription of Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi :─ (L. 24).─ Śak-âbdê dhîrayâyini. This inscription, like No. 880, after Pottappi-Chôḷa, introduces Betta [I.]. as an ancestor of Tiluṅgavidya (see No. 881), here called Tiluṅgabijja. Otherwise it generally agrees with Nos. 881 and 882.
[1] I group together here five inscriptions, Nos. 875-879, of kings mentioned under this title (for which see
above No. 819). Their exact identification is doubtful, and it is even uncertain whether they are all Chôḷa kings. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
