³ Mr. K. V. S. Aiyar thinks that Sundara Pāndya refused to accept the tribute from the Ceylonese king and seized him (Ancient Dekhan, p. 166). This is clearly wrong as the text says—‘இலங்கை காவலனை யிறைகொண்டருளி’. But what follows is read as ‘வருதிறை மறுத் தவங்கனை’ in the official text which looks so improbable; Mr. Gopinatha Rao's text has ‘வருதிறை மறுத்தவங்களை’ and if this is the correct reading, as very likely it is, அவன் must be taken to refer to the Pallava chieftain who is mentioned a little later and this is the construction adopted by Dr S. K. Aiyangar.
