A.D. 793-94. Trivandrum Museum plates of the twenty-seventh year of the Pāṇḍya king Jaṭila-Parāntaka, whose accession was in A.D. 767-68. He had before his seventeenth year (see above) destroyed the Chēra or Kērala Town of Viḷiṇam. This record shews that, some time during the next ten years, he had had to abandon Viḷiṇam and retire to Karaikkōṭṭai. He was followed thither by the Chēra army, and seemingly suffered a reverse. (Trav. Arch. Ser. i, 154.)
