Mysore and Coorg from the Inscriptions c8.s13.12

c8.s13.12

The territory actually acquired by the Chōlas in Mysore was parcelled into provinces, which, according to their usual policy, were named after Chōla kings. The south of Gaṅgavāḍi, or that part of Mysore District, thus received the name Muḍikoṇḍachōla-maṇḍala; the north of Bangalore District was the Vikramachōla-maṇḍala; Kolār District was the Nikarilichōla-maṇḍala. The sub-divisions of these large provinces were termed valanāḍ. Thus, the southern portion of the first above named was the Gaṅgaikoṇḍachōla-valanāḍ, while that of the third was the Jayaṅgoṇḍachōla-valanāḍ. Towns were treated in the same way, so that Taḷakāḍ became Rājarājapura;
