²⁴ A fragmentary inscription dated Ś. 1152, 419 of 1914, from Tiruccuḷi (Rd.) mentions the defeat of Jananātha (who refused to make obeisance) by Sunda ..... This may be a reference to this campaign; if so, Jananātha would be Rājarāja III.
25. Extract by M. R. Kavi in *Tirumalai Śrī Veṅkaṭēśvara* vi, pp. 677-8. See *ARE*. 1938-9 II 22 for details regarding the family of the author of the *Gadyakarṇāmṛta*.
26. 136 of 1900, *EI*. vii, pp. 163-4.
27. Parts of the Salem and S. Arcot districts, *QJMS*. ii, p. 121, *n*. 2. Narasimha also captured the women and treasures of the Magara king.
28. This, I think is the meaning of: *Kuḍikkālgaḷ(um) śuṭṭum aḷittum*, rather than 'drinking channels'. *Kuḍikkāl* is perhaps a variant of *koḍikkāl*.

33. 419 of 1893; 197 of 1905; 182 of 1919 etc. *ARE*. 1923 II 5-8 discusses the Kōpperuñjinga problem with reference to 418 of 1922, and reaches the conclusions that Aḷagiya Sīyan was different from Mahārājasimha, and that the former defeated and imprisoned Rājarāja III twice, once in 1221-22 after Teḷḷāṟu and about 1231-2 (Tiruvēndipuram record). The reasons for these surprising conclusions are said to be two: that the Vāyalūr (Vailur) record calls the king, Aḷagiya Sīyan and that it does not mention Śēndamaṅgalam. We are also solemnly assured that Mahārājasimha is in his records Kṣīrāpagādakṣiṇa-nāyaka and Peṇṇā-nadīnātha, 'titles not known of Aḷagiya Śīyan Kōpperuñjiṅga whose conquests extended only up to the Kāvēri in the South' (paragraph 8). In fact, Aḷagiya Śīyan Kōpperuñjiṅga means Kōpperuñjiṅga, the son of Aḷagiya Śīyan. The Vāyalūr record opens with the following prose passage: (l. 1) Savasti Śrī Sakalabhuvana-Cakravarti Śrī Kōpperuñjiṅgan Śōḷanait-teḷḷāṟṟil (l. 2) venṟu sakala pariccinnamum-goṇḍu Śōḷanaic-ciṟaiyiṭṭu vaittuc-cōṇāḍu koṇḍa A(l. 3) ḷagiya Śīyan. It is seen then, that the name Kōpperuñjiṅga is given at the very outset, and then the king is also called Aḷagiya Śīyan, 'the beautiful lion'—either the name of the father being applied to the son or the expression being used merely as a title. After the mention of the name Kōpperuñjiṅga, the omission of Śēndamaṅgalam is immaterial. There is no reason then to postulate a double imprisonment of the Cōḷa king. The Vāyalūr *praśasti* is said to be a composition of Śokka-Śīyan (paragraph 5). In fact, the end reads: *idu śokkac-cīyan āṇai* meaning, 'this is by order of Śokka (Aḷagiya) Śīyan (engraved).'

38. We do not know the details of these marriage alliances. Sewell's statement (*HISI*. p. 135) that Narasimha II gave his daughter in marriage to the Cōḷa king Rājarāja III seems to be no more than a plausible guess. 83d. *Siddēśvaracaritra*, cited by Virēśalingam, *Lives of Telugu Poets* (rev. ed.) Pt. i, pp. 89-92. 83e. The order of expressions in his Sanskrit *praśasti* seems to be significant: Vīragaṇḍagōpāla-vipina-dāva-dahana, Kāñcīpuravarādhīśvara, Gaṇapati-hariṇaśārdūla, Nellūrapura-viracita-vīrābhiṣeka. *SII*. iv. 433. I am unable to share the doubts of Sewell about this expedition *HISI*. p. 155.

84. 49 of 1913, 387 of 1903, 498 of 1902, 349 of 1919. The suggestion has been made (*ARE*. 1913 II 43) that the part taken by the officers of Sōmēśvara in a local enquiry into temple affairs at Śivāyam (49 of 1913) constitutes proof that Sōmēśvara acknowledged the sovereign power of Rājēndra. But this is very doubtful, especially if we recall the number of inscriptions of Rājarāja III in which the Hoysala officials appear. It is reasonable to infer the existence of friendly relations between the two powers.
