¹ *Coins of Southern India*, p. 108. Chola is also written *Chora*, *Śola*, or *Sora*. Coromandel is a corruption of *Choḷamaṇḍalam* (Yule & Burnell, *Anglo-Indian Glossary*, s. v. ‘Coromandel’). The name Chola means a people as well as a dynasty, but nothing is known about the Cholas as a people. They have become merged in the existing population without leaving a trace.
