His son was Paramêś- varapôtavarman II., *i.e.* Paramêśvaravarman II. of the Kûram grant; further on in this record, he is called Paramêśvarapôtarâja. The record then tells us that, at the time when it was drawn up, the kingdom of Paramêśvaravarman II. was ruled by a certain Nandin, Nandivarman, or Nandipôtarâja, who had been "chosen by the subjects." And it exhibits this king's descent, and his relationship with Paramêśvaravarman II., as follows. The younger brother of the Simhavishṇu mentioned above, was Bhîmavarman. Then came¹ Buddhavarman. Then, Âdityavarman. Then, Gôvindavarman. Then, Hiraṇya, whose full name may safely be taken to have been Hiraṇyavarman, and whose wife was Rôhiṇî.² And their son was Nandivarman, to whom the record gives the birudas or secondary names of Kshatriyamalla, Pallavamalla, and Śrîdhara, and the paramount titles of *Mahârâja*, *Râjâdhirâja*, and *Paramêśvara*,³ and whom it further describes as a devotee of the god Vishnu. The record finally registers the fact that, at the request of his *Mukhyamantrin* or prime minister Brahmaśrîrâja or Brahmayuvarâja, Nandivarman, in the twenty-second year of his reign,⁴ granted to a Brâhmaṇ a village named Koḍukolli, which, on thus becoming a *brahmadêya*, received the new name of Êkadhîramangala, situated in Urrukkâṭṭukkôṭṭa or, in Sanskrit, Undivanakôshṭhaka, which was a subdivision of the Toṇḍâka *râshṭra*, and, by its modern name Urrukkâḍu, is to be placed closely in the neighbourhood of Conjeeveram.
