The Colas c14.38

c14.38

29. *ARE.* 1912 II, 11 suggests the identification of Sthāṇu-Ravi with Kōkkandan Ravi of the Candrāditya family (148 of 1910) on palaeographical grounds. The epithet '*pal-yānai-kōk-kaṇḍan*' in the Tillaisthānam inscription, like the phrase '*Toṇḍai-nāḍu-pāvina-Sōḻan*,' applies to Rājakēsari and not to Sthāṇu-Ravi, as *ARE.* (*ibid*) appears to suggest. 'It is not impossible that Sthāṇu-Ravi substantially assisted Āditya in his conquest of the Pallavas and the acquisition of their territory, and that Vikki-Aṇṇaṉ distinguished himself on this occasion as an able general.' (*ibid*). In the same paragraph we find the suggestion thrown out that Vikki-Aṇṇaṉ was, like his wife Kaḍamba-mādēvi, of Karṇāṭaka origin, and that he was a Vēḷir chieftain of Koḍumbāḷūr (Pudukōṭṭah).
