**61.11 [*i\**]***ḷaṅkaṭuṅkō*** N. of the grandson of King Ātaṉ Cel Irumporai and son of the senior prince Peruṅkaṭuṅkōṉ. The names Kaṭuṅkō and Kaṭuṅkōṉ, with or without the attributes *perum-* (senior) or *iḷam-* (junior), were apparently borne by alternate generations of the Irumporai dynasty as indicated in these inscriptions. When Iḷaṅkaṭuṅkō ascended the throne in his turn, he assumed the royal title Iḷañcēral Irumporai. He is the hero of the Ninth Decade of *Patiṟṟuppattu* (*Patiṟ.* 85:comm.; *Patikam* 9).
