¹ Mr. Venkayya’s doubts (*A.R.E.*, 1900, para 15) as to how Ravivarman Kulaśēkhara was able to accomplish so much in the face of the Muham-madans who would have been very strong in Madura at this time have been met by our view of the invasion of Malik Kafur. Kielhorn and Hultzsch identified the Vēgavatī with ‘a small river which flows into the Pālāru near Kānchīpuram’ (*E.I.*, vol. iv, p. 146). But there seems to be no great difficulty in taking it to be the better known river in the Madura district. Another inscription seems to imply that A.D. 1313 fell in the fourth year of the king’s reign (*E.I.*, vol. viii, p. 8).
