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. 29. Ch. 55 vv. 24-29. 30. CV. Ch. 56, vv. 1-6. 31. 92 of 1892 where he is only called ‘king of the Ceylonese.’ 221 of 1894. 32. Geiger CV. ii. p. xxi. 33. CV. Ch. 56, v. 7. 34. \*ibid\*, vv. 8-10 35. \*ibid\*, vv. 11-14. 36. PK. p. 113. 37. CV. \*ibid\*., vv. 13-15. 38. Cf. Hultzsch \*SII\*. iii, p. 53. 39. \*ibid\*. 3 Decr. A.D. 1046. 40. \*ibid\*; also CV. 56, v. 16. 41. Cf. Hultzsch—\*JRAS\*. 1913, pp. 519-21 where the opinions expressed by him in \*SII\*. iii are withdrawn. 42. Jagatīpāla’s queen and her daughter Līlāvatī escaped later on from their captivity in the Cōḷa country, CV. Ch. 59 vv. 23-4. 43. \*SII\*. iii. 29. \*JRAS\*, 1913, p. 519. 44. 87 of 1895; 270 of 1915, both of the ninth year. 45. \*SII\*. iii p. 59; 612 of 1912, (\*SII\*. iv 1408). 46. \*Virarpaḍaik-kalingar-man\*, l. 12 of \*SII\*. iii 29. 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. 48.
