An inscription from Sugaṭūr, dated in the second year of the reign, records the construction of a temple by an official of Vikramacōḷa's army.¹³ Another inscription of the tenth year from the same region in the Kōlār district records the construction of a *vimāna* in Maddivāḷa-bēcirāk.¹⁴ It is a natural inference that Vikramacōḷa re-established the Cōḷa power in the eastern part of Mysore.
