EPIGRAPHIA INDICA the North Arcot district.[1] Kalavâ-nîvṛit is derived from the town of Kalavai in the Arcot tâluka of the North Arcot district.[2] For Paḍuvûr-kôṭṭam see above, Vol. IV. pp. 82, 138, 180, 271 ; Vol. V. p. 50 ; Vol. VII. p. 192 ; and South-Ind. Inscr. Vol. III. p. 89. The name of the village granted, Nîpataṭâka, is evidently a Sanskṛit translation of a Tamil name which should be Kaḍappêri.[3] As a matter of fact there is at present a village called Kaḍappêri in the Wâlâjâpêṭ tâluka of the North Arcot district, which is situated five miles east of the anicut or masonry dam across the Pâlâr river, and two miles south-west of Kâvêripâk itself. It is situated on the Kâvêrippâkkam channel which at present takes off from the Pâlâr river on the southern side of the anicut, and is irrigated by a branch from it. It thus retains its ancient name, notwithstanding the attempt of a king to impose on it a new one.
