XVII. The *Śōḷamaṇḍalaśatakam*: Verse 38 of this work mentions the construction of the banks of the Kāvēri and of a stone anicut across the river by a Cōḷa king; and a veṇbā found in some mss. of this work purports to give a date for Karikāla’s construction of the bank. But partly owing to its corrupt readings, this verse can furnish little aid in a discussion of the history of Karikāla. ‡
