¹ Vallān has sometimes been taken to be the king of the Chola country (A.R.E., 1907, part ii, para 27). But the conquest of Vallān is always mentioned as a separate event which occurred after the capture of Cholamandalam thus, ‘ஈழமுங்கொங்கும் சோழமண்டலமுங்கொண்டு வல்லானைவென்று தில்லைமாநகரியுள்,’ etc. The Vadugas are taken to be Kanarese (A.R.E., 1915, part ii, para 36). They might as well have been Telugus to whom the name is more commonly applied by the Tamils.
