¹ It is just likely that the Sucīndram record beginning பூமடந்தையும் ஜயமடந்தையும் (Trav. Arch. Series, vol. ii, pp. 18ff.) is an inscription of this Vīra Pāndya. If that is so, Vīra Pāndya must have married a Kērala princess after his campaign mentioned in l. 3 of the record and this will explain his flight to Travancore after his final defeat. It may be noted that this record registers a gift almost immediately after the coronation. Mr. Gopinatha Rao in editing this record mixes up this Vīra Pāndya with the conqueror of Ilam and Kongu (acc. A.D. 1253) and the Kulaśēkhara of this civil war with Mar. Kulaśēkhara (acc. A.D. 1268).
