¹ Rice remarks in his summary of this inscription that it ‘describes the king as encamped in A.D. 1234 at Ravitadāna-kuppa while on a victorious expedition over the Pāndya’; and this has led Mr. Krishna Sastri to postulate a Hoysala invasion of the Pāndya country in continuation of the Sēndamangalam expedition (1232-3) of the Hoysala generals recorded at Tiruvēndipuram. *A.R.E.*, 1911, part ii, para 47 and *Q.J.M.S.*, vol.ii, p. 122. But a reference to the text and translation of AK. 123 shows that the date, Saka 1156, refers to the setting up of the God Laksmi Narasimha in Somanāthpur and *not* to the encampment.
