[A.D. 952. King Mahindu IV of Ceylon came to the throne in this year according to Dr. Hultzsch’s Singhalese chronology. He was attacked by an army sent from the Tamil country by a king whom the *Mahāvaṃśa* calls the ‘Chōla-Vallabha’.² It is not known to whom this refers. ‘Vallabha’ is a Chālukya title. The Chōla kings of the time of Mahindu IV (A.D. 952–968) were Gaṇḍarāditya and Ariñjaya. (*Mahāvaṃśa, ch. liv.*)]
