c11.29

That Kāvirip-pūmpaṭṭinam with its extensive trade was in Nalangiḷḷi's possession,⁴³ and that Vedic sacrifices were common in his reign⁴⁴ are facts well attested by our sources. There is a poignant note of melancholy in some of the poems on Nalangiḷḷi⁴⁵ composed by Uṟaiyūr Mudukaṇṇan Śāttanār, and it is not easy to decide if this is due to the poet's own temperament or to the incidents of the civil strife. It would appear that Nalangiḷḷi died at a place called Ilavandigaip-paḷḷi.⁴⁶
