South India and her Muhammadan Invaders c8.s3.5

c8.s3.5

The Arpākkam grant of his fifth year (*Ep. Rep.*, 1899, pp. 8-9) and the Tiruvālaṅgāḍu inscription of his twelfth year (465 of 1905) refer to this invasion in some detail. The former of these two refer to the war as of almost contemporary occurrence, describing in particular the circumstances that brought about the Chola intervention in the war. Hence the lower and the upper limits of the war have to be A.D. 1175 and A.D. 1171, respectively.
