1072, for the spiritual benefit of her mother Umai-nangai;¹⁶⁰ Śōḻan Śōṟuḍaiyāḷ alias Kāḍavan Mahādēvī, apparently a princess of Pallava extraction; Tribhuvanamādēvī alias Kampamādēvi, born in the asterism of Svāti, and a devotee of Viṣṇu, like another queen, Ādittan Āṇḍakuṭṭiyār alias Śōḻa Kulavalliyār, mentioned along with her in an inscription from Kāñcīpuram¹⁶¹ (A.D. 1111). Two sisters of Kulōttunga, Kundavai and Madhurāntaki by name, are mentioned in the inscriptions from Cidambaram dated in the years A.D. 1114 and 1116.¹⁶² Besides his seven sons by Madhurāntakī, Kulōttunga had, as we have seen, a daughter Śuttamalli married into the royal house of Ceylon. A fragmentary record from Mysore dated early in the reign, A.D. 1075, mentions a Piḷḷaiyār Ammangai Āḻvār who was another daughter of Kulōttunga.¹⁶³ A certain Rājasūnu (prince) Mādhava presented a gold diadem to Śiva at Rāmagrāma about A.D. 1082;¹⁶⁴ the identity of this prince remains obscure.
