For the Mahâmaṇḍalēśvara Śantivarman II., we have a date in the month Âśvina (Sept.-Oct.), falling in A. D. 1075, of the Râkshasa saṁvatsara, Śaka-Saṁvat 997 (expired);⁷ but the record does not state the details of his government: as this date is earlier than the latest date of his nephew, perhaps he and Kīrtivarman II. were then ruling, respectively, only the Pânuṁgal five-hundred and the Banavâsi twelve-thousand. In the month Mâgha (Jan.-Feb.) falling in A. D. 1089, of the Vibhava saṁvatsara (Ś.-Ś. 1011 current), he was ruling the Banavâsi twelve-thousand and the Pânuṁgal five-hundred; as a feudatory of Vikramâditya VI.⁸ His wife was Siriyâdēvī, of the Pâṇḍya family.
