No. 10.-A NOTE ON THE BATTLE OF VALLALA: A.D. 911-2.
BY THE LATE MR. A. S. RAMANATHA AYYAR, B.A., MADRAS.
A record dated in the 6th year of a Choļa king Parakësarivarman at Pullamangai in the Tanjore District reads as follows:
Svasti Sri [[*] Ko-pParakāsariparma[r*]kku yandu aravadu Kilar-kārrattu brahmadhyam Pullamarigalattu Tiruvāland urai-Mahadeva[r*]kku sembiyan-MahābaliVānarāyar sirukālai-sandikku iru-nāli arisiyalum arai-ppidi neyy-&mirdälum nisadamum
tiruvamidu bēvadarku vilaikku virru-kkudutta nilam.............. and it registers a gift of land by Sembiyan-Mahābali-Vänaraya to the temple of Tiruvāland uraiMahādēva at Pullamangalam, a brahmadēya in Kilár-küfram, in the 6th year of king Parakēsarivarman. The record can palæographically be attributed to the 10th century A. D., and it must therefore belong either to Parāntaka I (A. D. 907-53) or to Uttama-Chōļa (A. D. 970-986), the only two Parakësarins who ruled for at least 6 years in this period.
Now from the Sholinghur records dated in the 9th year of the Chola king, specified only by the title of Parakēsarivarman and identified with Parantaka I, it is learnt that the Gangs chieftain Prithivipati II was given the title of Bånadhiraja', while the Udayēndiram Plates 11 of the 15th year of Madiraikoņda Parakēsarivarman (Parāntaka I) state that this chieftain was
1 Metre: Anushpubh. +Ra° probably stands for Rauta or Rival.
Maham stands for महत्तम. modern Méhta. •The letter kshe is misshaped.
Parigrahi seems to be an official title of a revenue collector. • Sam probably stands for samgata or sambaddha associated or connected with '. * There are three indistinct signs after this pair of dandas.
*[I have to record here with deep regret that Mr. A. S. Ramanatha Ayyar breathed his last without seeing this article finally printed. By his death we have lost a sound scholar of South-Indian History.-Ed.]
