Eastern Chalukya king Vishṇuvardhana III. (A. D. 709 to 746),¹ which he made subject to Nandivarman. And, finally, he breached a fortress named Kâḷidurga, and defeated the army of the Pâṇḍyas at Maṇṇaikuḍi. The record then registers the fact that, in the twenty-first year of his reign,² at the request of Udayachandra, Nandivarman granted, to a hundred and eight Brâhmaṇs, a village named Kumâramangala-Veḷḷattûr, the appellation of which was then changed to Udayachandramangala, and which, through that new name, is to be identified with the modern Udayêndiram itself. At the end of the record, there is a Tamil endorsement, identical with the endorsement at the end of the spurious grant of Nandivarman, the alleged son of a supposed Skandavarman III.,³ to the effect that, in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Madiraikoṇḍa-Kô-Parakêsarivarman, i.e. the Chôḷa king Parântaka I., the villagers of Udayachandramangala agreed with those of the neighbouring village of Kâñchivâyil, also called Iganmaraimangala, to make the two villages into one.
