72. Fleet *EI.* xii pp. 296-8. Lat. 16°36′, Long. 74°44′. For an earlier discussion of the identity of Koppam, *EC.* ix Introduction p. 16 n. 3, where attention is drawn to the reading in 168 of 1911—*tīrthakkoppattahavayil*. Hultzsch rendered '*śepparundiratta*' into: 'The strength (of whose position is) hard to describe' (*SII.* iii p. 63). We must now read the phrase as: '*śepparundīrtta*,' meaning 'a *tīrtha* (whose merits are) hard to describe.' Rājēndradēva's introductions beginning *Tirumagaḷ maruviya* use the phrase: '*pērāṟṟangaraik-koppattu-vandedirtta Āhavamallan.*'
