c19.39

Both the *Kalingattupparaṇi* and the *Vikramaśōḻan-ulā* make pointed reference to Rājēndra's part in the battle of Koppam. The former records that the king fought fiercely in the battle and saved 'the world' by his success and celebrated his coronation on the field of battle.¹⁰⁵ The *ulā*, with intelligible hyperbole, says¹⁰⁶ that with the aid of a single elephant he captured a thousand of the enemy at Koppam.
