c22.13

The most characteristic title of Vikramacōḻa is Tyāgasamudra, ‘the ocean of liberality’ which occurs in the inscriptions and in the *Vikramasōḻan ulā*.²⁹ The Sevvelimēḍu Sanskrit inscription of the sixteenth year gives him the titles Tyāgavārākara, only a variant of the above-mentioned title, and Akaḷanka, ‘the spotless one,’³⁰ applied in the *Kalingattapparaṇi* to Kulōttunga I.³¹ For the rest, we have seen, that some of his inscriptions exactly reproduce the titles of his father including even the Rājakēsari title, though in reality Vikrama was a Parakēsari. Two of his queens are mentioned prominently in the inscriptions, Mukkōkkiḻān and Tyāgapatākā, of whom the former was the chief till about A.D. 1126-27. After her death, Tyāgapatākā became chief queen.³² Possibly Nambirāṭṭiyār Nēriyan-Mādēviyār who is mentioned together with her *agapparivāram* (personal retinue) in an inscription of the sixth year³³ from Tiruvidaimarudūr was a third queen, of whom we do not hear elsewhere.
