The Colas c22.23

c22.23

The Kāḍavas are represented in this reign by Kūḍalūr Āḷappirandān Mōhan alias Rājarājak-kāḍavarāyan⁸⁶ who is probably identical with Kulōttungaśōḷak-kāḍavarāyan of the previous reign, and by Rājēndraśōḷa Pallavar-ādittan,⁸⁷ who is called also the lord of Kāñcīpura. The former assigned to a temple at Elvānāśūr a considerable number of taxes and and dues for its expenses, while the latter built a stone temple on a hill in the Kōlār district. There was also Pallavarāyar of Kārigai Kuḷattūr who built the stone temple of Rājarājēśvaram Uḍaiyār in Pallavarāyanpēṭṭai and, as we shall see, played a leading⁸⁸ part after the death of Rājarāja II. Two Śengēṇi chieftains are mentioned: a certain Nittavinōda Śāmbuvarāyan,⁸⁹ whose wife, Śōṟuḍaiyāḷ, endowed a lamp at Brahmadēśam in South Arcot, and Rājanārāyaṇa Śāmbuvarāyan, also called Ammaiyappan Śīyan Pallavāṇḍān whose gifts are recorded at Munnūr and Accarapākkam.⁹⁰ The alias of Rājanārāyaṇa, it may be noted in passing, seems to imply a dynastic connection between the Śengēṇis and the Kāḍavas.
