16. See Geiger, *CV.* i p. 176 n. 4. Also ii p. xx n. 18. It must be noted that Venkayya's proof that it is only in his latest inscriptions of 943|4 to 947|8 that Parāntaka calls himself 'Conqueror of Ceylon' no longer holds good; and the date 948 accepted by Geiger for this invasion is not so trustworthy as it appeared to Hultzsch. (See 332 and 331 of 1927 of years 8 and 16 respectively of Parāntaka). The *MV.* goes on to add that a new Senāpati of Udaya 'laid waste the borderland of the Cōḷa king and forced him with threats to restore all that he had carried away' as booty. What exactly is meant by the 'borderland' is not clear.
