The name of the elder Peruñjiṅga (if there were two) was Aḷagiya-Śiyan-Avaniyāḷa-Piraṇdān-Peruñjiṅga. He appears to have revolted against his sovereign the Chōḷa king Rājarāja III about A.D. 1221. A battle was fought near Teḷḷāṟu. The Hoysaḷa king Narasimha II intervened and saved the Chōḷa throne, and put down the rebellions; after which Peruñjiṅga returned to his allegiance. About the same time the Pāṇḍya king Māravarman Sundara Pāṇḍya attacked, and says that he burnt Tanjore and Uraiyūr; a record at Vriddhāchalam of A.D. 1229 (*136 of 1900*) speaks of Peruñjiṅga as an officer under Rājarāja Chōḷa III.
