The Anbil C. P. grant, issued in the reign of Parāntaka II, gives many details about the latter's ancestors. Amongst other things it mentions that Parāntaka I married the daughter of the Kērala king Paluvēṭṭaraiyar. Paluvēṭṭa is alluded to in three inscriptions at Tiruvaiyyāṟu, and in one of them his daughter is said to have been the queen of ‘Vikrama-Chōḷa Iḷangōvēḷar.’ Since the last title means Yuvarāja or heir-apparent, it seems likely that before Parāntaka I came to the throne he had been known as ‘Vikrama-Chōḷa.’ (E. I, xv. 44.)]
