‘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 Jvarakandheśvara 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 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).’—(*H.S.I. I.*, Vol. I, Velur Inscrip. nos. 43–50, p. 69, para. 2, notes 3, 4.)
