c16.s2.84

The suggestion may be made that the Muttaraiya lady was the queen of Vikramakēsari and that Parāntaka Iḷangōvēḷār, the husband of the Cōḷa princess, was the elder son of Vikramakēsari. In this case, the 6th year of Parakēsari (337 of 1904) must be the 6th year of Parāntaka I, which would fall nearly 52 years before the wars with Vīra Pāṇḍya in which Vikramakēsari took part. It seems better to treat Śembiyan Irukkuvēḷ and his Muttaraiya wife Varaguṇā as persons not represented in the genealogy of the Koḍumbāḷūr record. There are other names of Irukkuvēḷs, like Madhurāntaka Irukkuvēḷ and Mahimālaya Irukkuvēḷ in the Pudukōṭṭah inscriptions for which there is no room in the Koḍumbāḷūr genealogy. Possibly Madhurāntaka, Irukkuvēḷ of Nos. 335 and 336 of 1904 (Pd. 63 and 65), also called Ādittan (Āccan) Vikramakēsari, was a contemporary of Āditya I and his son Parāntaka I.
