⁸⁰ *Pālas of Bengal* pp. 73, 99.
81. Verse 111, end of Anantaśambhu's gloss (Madras Mss. Library). In two verses introduced by the glossator with the words '*atra pūrva-kathā-prasaṅgaḥ*,' Rājēndra is said to have himself gone to bathe in the Ganges. Krishna Sastri wrongly ascribes these statements to the *Siddhāntasārāvaḷi* itself and suggests that the work was composed in Rājēndra's time and under his patronage. *SII*. iii introduction p. 22.
82. Pāmulavāka plates—*JAHRS*, ii, p. 287 l. 63.
83. *EI*. xvi, p. 77.
84. *Bharati*, xx, p. 439; *Eastern Cāḷukyas*, pp. 241-4.
85. 482-K of 1893 (*SII*. v. no. 82), and *Eastern Cāḷukyas*, p. 229, *n.* 1.
86. 213 of 1911. I am not sure of the correctness of the date in a record from Maḷūr of the 13th year (*EC*. ix cp. 84) which also gives the full introduction. There is a fragment dated in the 11th year from Kurubūru (Mysore) mentioning the conquest of Kaḍāram (*EC*. x ct. 47). But the date is obviously too early; perhaps an instance of a gift of the 11th year recorded some years later.
87. v. 123, Cf. Karandai v. 62.
88. *SII*. ii p. 109. The notes that follow explain my differences with Hultzsch.
89. The conjecture '*vākiyam*' (p. 107 n. 5) does not help. The reading in other records '*vāgaiyam*' is quite good, '*vāgai*' victory, '*am*' is expletive. Porukaḍal, 'fighting ocean' is a common expression for 'army'. '*Kumbakkari*' means 'elephant with the *kumba*, the globular front.'
90. Hultzsch has: 'extensive city of the enemy.' The Tanjore text '*ārttavanahanagar*' can hardly give his meaning. I take it to be 'ārttu + avan + ahanagar'. The tempting suggestion of Coedès that this and the following phrases may be attributes of Śrīviṣaya (*BEFEO*, xviii No. 6 p. 5 n. 1) has been partly accepted by me.
91. See *EI*. ix p. 231.
92. '*Pudavam*' is a 'small gate-way' in a larger door, a wicket.
93. This translation seems more literal than '(with) a fort situated on a high hill' for '*van-malai-ūreyil*.'
94. 'Possessing (both), cultivated land (?) and jungle' Hultzsch. Though '*tūṟu*' means 'low jungle,' the meaning of the whole phrase is by no means clear.
95. 'Was subdued by a vehement (attack)', Hultzsch. The text is '*kalāmudir- kaḍundiral*' which means that the fierce strength (*kaḍundiral*) increased (*mudir*) in fighting or war (*kalām*).
96. 'Whose flower gardens (resembled) the girdle (of the nymph) of the southern region,' Hultzsch. Though I am not sure how this curious translation was reached by Hultzsch, I suspect that he took the phrase '*tēnakkavārpoḻil*' to be composed of 'ten + nakkan + vār + poḻil', and even so the translation is forced. In truth it is tēn + nakka + vār +poḻil, the terms meaning respectively 'honey', 'laughing' 'long' and 'flower-garden.'
97. '*Toḍu-kaḍal*' is rendered by Hultzsch into 'the neighbouring sea.' But '*toḍu*' in the sense of 'touch' is a late form; and '*toḍu-kaḍal*'
