c13.s1.71

10. *Jagnar.*—The translator of Amir Khusru in vol. iii. of Elliott’s *History of India as told by Her Own Historians* renders this as Jagannāth. The actual equation ought to be Śokkanātha, one of the alternative Tamil names of Sundarēśa in the large temple at Madura. Sundarēśa and Śokkanātha are synonyms, the first part of the latter word being Tamil and the second of course Sanskrit. The Tamil Śokka is the same as Sanskrit Sundara.
