*pocil* 'entrance'. The expression occurs as part of the place name *teṉku-ciṟu-pocil* which appears to be the same as *teṉ-ciṟu-vāyil*, mentioned in the later Tamil inscriptions of the region as the name of the *nāṭu* (territorial division) immediately to the east of the hill at Sittannavasal. *pocil* is not attested in Tamil and appears to be related to Ka. *hosilu* (< *\*posil*) 'entrance'. cf. also To. *pōş* 'entrance'.
