“This (no. 43) and the next following seven (44-50) (Velur) inscriptions record grants to Jvara Khaṇḍeśvarasvāmin of Velur, i. e. to the Vellore temple, which is now-a-days called Jala-kaṇṭheśvara (North Arcot Manual, p. 189). The name of the temple is spelt Jvara-kaṇḍeśvara in five inscriptions, Jvara-kaṇṭheśvara in two others, and Jvara-kandheśvara in one of them. The Sanskrit original of these various forms seems to have been Jvara-khaṇḍeśvara. Jvara-khaṇḍa, ‘the destroyer of fever’ would be a synonym of Jvara-hara, which is applied to Śiva in the name of one of the Kāñchipuram temples. (Sewell’s Lists of Antiquities, vol. I. p. 180).”
