A.D. 955 (?) According to the author of an article (*E. I. xii. 121*), this was the first year of Parāntaka Chōla II, alias Sundara Chōla, Rājakēsarivarman. Two of his queens are named, one being a Chēra princess who lived till 1012. He had a general named Śiriya-Vēlār, who was killed in Ceylon in the king’s ninth year (*see 116 of 1895*). This would be in A.D. 963–64, during the reign of Mahindu IV, king of Ceylon, and the war in which he lost his life would be the same as is referred to above (*s. v., A. D. 952*).
