This king of Mavalipuram was one of the Palaiyakarans belonging to the family of Mavali-Vanadarayar, of whose ancestors at the beginning of the sixteenth century we know several inscriptions¹. The action of the Nayaka was swift and decisive: he at once set out from his capital, defeated the chief, conquered his kingdom, and annexed it to his own possessions². That was a good lesson for the rest of his subordinates. - [Previous: v1.c19.29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c19.29) - [Next: v1.c19.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c19.31) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c19.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.heras-1927.v1.c19.30) · Pramāṇa
