This name of a place 42 m. south of Madras, the seat of an old Dutch factory, was probably shaped into the usual form in a sort of conformity with Madras or Madraspatam. The correct name is Sadurai, but it is sometimes made into Sadrang- and Shatranj-patam. \[The Madras Gloss. gives Tam. \*Shathurangappaṭanam\*, Skt. \*chatur-anga\*, ‘the four military arms, infantry, cavalry, elephants and cars.’\] Fryer (p. 28) calls it Sandraslapatam, which is probably a misprint for Sandrastapatam. - [Previous: c10.12860](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.12860) - [Next: c10.12862](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.12862) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.12861](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.12861) · Pramāṇa
