39. Śiruvayal.—There are two places of this name, one of them is a little to the north-west of Kāḷaiyār Kovil almost in the direction of Tiruppattūr; another one much farther north and quite close to the frontier of Pudukoṭṭa. In the description of the campaign of the Ceylonese general Śiruvayal seems to be closely associated with Śemponmāri; where it so occurs it is very likely that the Śiruvayal referred to is the farther one from Kāḷaiyār Kovil. It is very likely that both the places had to be separately conquered by the general.
