c15.29
These incidents may now be discussed in the light of the other records of the reign. The conquest of the Chera country must have taken place very early in the reign. An inscription from Tinnevelly (No. 75 of 1927) dated in the third year of Tribhuvanacakravartin Kōnēr-inmai-konḍān gives the name Kavivenra-caturvēdimangalam for a village in the neighbourhood and a Vīra Ravi Udayamārttāṇḍavarman is known to have been ruling in Travancore in A.D. 1251.² It is just possible that the name of the village commemorates our king's victory over the Chera king.
