¹ See A.R.E., 1907, p. 52 and K. V. S. Aiyar (op. cit., pp. 103-4). Nothing can be stated finally about the smaller Sinnamanūr grant. The grant is incomplete and the text is still unpublished. It is not known how many plates are missing. There is however just a possibility that the grant belongs to Kōccaḍayan (No. 5 of the genealogy in the text), the king who fought at Marudūr, in which case the engraver may be taken to be the grandfather of the engraver of the Madras Museum plates. But there can be no doubt that Venkayya was strangely misled by vague palæographical considerations into ignoring the probability of the identity of Śēndan and Jayanta.
