In the same year an inscription in Nellore District, Gūḍūr Taluk, mentions as sovereign Rājarāja Chōla in his eighth year, and as local ruler the Vaiḍumba chief Vishṇudēva alias ‘Durai-araśan’ (sic, as title). Three generations of Vaiḍumba chiefs are known by name in this century, viz., Sandaiyan Tiruvaiyan I, his son Śaṁkara, and the latter’s son Sōmanātha.
