¹ See *E. I.*, vol. ix, p. 232. Hultzsch’s remark at p. 230 *E.I.* ix. ‘Maduramaṇḍala need not be connected with Madura, the capital of the Pāndya king, who has been already accounted for, but may be meant for the district of the northern Mathura on the Yamuna’—will be plausible if the identification of Sakkarakkōṭṭam rests on a secure basis; but this is very doubtful and it is possible to adopt the usual meaning of Maduramaṇḍalam and explain the new conquest as in the text. The Pāndya king moreover has not been ‘already accounted for’ but only ‘two other trinkets which the Pāndya king had previously deposited with the king of Ceylon’.
