The Colas c22.22

c22.22

Gangāpuri no doubt continued to be the capital of the kingdom. The inscriptions of the reign say little of the king's movements or of his part in the administration. One record of the thirteenth year⁸² shows him residing at Āyirattaḷi. Of the titles of Rājarāja, the most noteworthy as it occurs both in the inscriptions and in the *Rājarājan-ulā* is Cōḷēndrasimha.⁸³ Another title commonly applied to him in literature, but not traceable in epigraphy, is Kaṇḍan.⁸⁴ The concluding veṇbā in the *ulā* also calls him Vīradhara and Vīrōdaya. From the inscriptions, it is clear that Rājarāja also took to himself the titles Rājagambhīra and Ediriliśōḷa,⁸⁵ and possibly also Neṟiyuḍaiccōḷa.
