The Colas c19.79

c19.79

²¹ Contra *ARE*, 1908 II 56.
22. 92 of 1892; 172 of 1894.
24. Text: ‘*mun-tanakkudaindu*,’ apparently rendered by Hultzsch into ‘which had previously belonged to him.’
25. ‘*Ilañjiridenṟeṇṇi uḷangoḷ tannāḍu tannuṟavoḍum pugundu*’ is the text.
26. Or daughter. The text has *kādali*.
27. Text ‘*ularnda*.’ Hultzsch has ‘perished’; but see later.
28. The text is ‘*Kannaran-vaḻi-vandurai-koḷa-viḻat-taraiśan-āgiya*,’ which Hultzsch translates into ‘who had come to Kannaran (Kṛshṇa) and taken up (his) abode (with him).’ *Uṟai* means in the context ‘pride,’ ‘glory.’ The point seems to be that Madanarāja, though a Rāshṭrakūṭa or, more generally, a Karṇāṭa by descent, became king of Ceylon.

47. Supposing that a Vīra-Salāmēgha ‘perished in a hot battle’ (*SII*. iii p. 56) with Rājādhirāja, Hultzsch distinguishes from him the ‘*kalingar-man*’ of the same name of the Rājēndra inscriptions (*JRAS*. 1913 p. 520), and connects the latter with Trilōkasundarī, a Kalinga queen of Vijayabāhu I, A.D. 1054-1109, and suggests that her nephew Kitti-sirī-mēgha may have been named after Vīra-Salāmēgha. He also suggests that the Pāṇḍya Mānābharaṇa who was decapitated by Rājādhirāja was the ancestor of that Mānābharaṇa who was the nephew and son-in-law of Vijayabāhu I; and that Śrī Vallabha Madanarāja, the Ceylonese opponent of Rājādhirāja, was the ancestor of his namesake Śrī Vallabha, a third nephew and son-in-law of Vijayabāhu I. Arguments from the similarity of common names cannot be final; and Hultzsch has not considered the relation between the Mānābharaṇa whose sons were captured by Rājēndra and his namesakes.
