² This is what is called Kundugāl just a mile and a half or two south of Pamban. This locality is made use of by the South Indian Railway authorities both the dry and wet docks for the repair or refit of their steam-launches. I have not been able to trace any sign of the fortifications with the ‘three circuits of walls and twelve gates,’ but there is no doubt that it is the place referred to as Kundukāla. There is no memory of its having been called Parākramapura in the locality at all.
