The Colas c19.167

c19.167

158. Hultzsch has clearly misunderstood the phrase—'*igaliḍaippūṇḍa jayattiruvoḍum*' which he translates into: 'with the goddess of victory, who had shown hostility in the interval,' and in which he sees 'an admission of the fact that the Cōḻas had experienced reverses.' *SII.* iii. p. 70 and n. 4. The '*iḍai*' after '*igal*' is clearly a locative suffix to the preceding word meaning 'battle,' not 'hostility', in the context.
