INSCRIPTIONS OF SOUTHERN INDIA.
875.-South-Ind. Inser. Vol. III. No. 26, p. 47. Karuvar (Pasupatisvara temple) Tamil inscription of Konérimélkondan,' dated "on the four-hundred-and-thirty-eighth (!) day" of the 23rd year (of his reign). Since the king settled certain temple servants in a quarter which was called Vira-Solan-Tirumadaivilagam after his own name, it follows that his actual name was Vira-Chôla.

876.-South-Ind. Inser. Vol. II. No. 61, p. 246, and Plate. Tanjore (Rajarajêévara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin Kônêrinmaikonḍan, dated on the 334th day of the second year (of his reign).
877.-South-Ind. Inser. Vol. II. No. 21, p. 111. Tanjore (Rajarajesvara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin Kônêrinmaikoṇḍan, dated on the seventh day of the year opposite the fifth year (of his reign).
878.-South-Ind. Insor. Vol. III. No. 25, p. 47. Karuvár (Pasupatisvara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin, the glorious Kônêriņmaikondan, containing an order which was to take effect from the month of Aḍi of the 15th (year of his reign).
879.-South-Ind. Inser. Vol. II. No. 22, p. 113. Tanjore (Rajarajêsvara temple) Tamil inscription of the Tribhuvanachakravartin Kônêriņmaikondan, dated on the sixty-fourth day of the thirty-fifth year (of his reign).
880.-S. 1127.-Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 153. Conjeeveram (Arulala-Perumal temple) inscription of (the Telugu-Chôda3) Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi, recording a grant which was made at Nellûr,3 at the time of his coronation:
(L. 20).-sârayogyê Sak-âbdê.
After a number of mythical ancestors, the inscription mentions (in the solar race) Kalikâla; in his race, Madhurântaka Pottappi-Chôla (founded the town of Pottappi in the Andhra country); in his family, Vetta (Betta) [I]. In his family was king Siddhi; his younger brother Vetta (Betta) [II]; his eldest son Dâyabhima; his younger brother Erasiddhi; had three sons, Manmasiddhi, Vetta (Betta) [III.] (who did not reign), and Tammusiddhi (described as the son of Gandagopala [Epasiddhi] and Sridevi).
881.-S. 1120.- Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 123. Tiruvâlangâḍu (Vațârapyêsvara temple) inscription of Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi:
(L. 18).-Sak-ábdé dhirayâyini.
Genealogy substantially as in No. 880, but the names Pottappi and Vetta are here given as Pottapi and Betta. After Pottapi-Chôla the inscription mentions Tilungavidya, while it omits Vetta (Betta) [I]. The name Manmasiddhi is also given as Manmasiddha.
882. §. 1129.-Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 126. Tiruppâsûr (Vâchisvara temple) inscription of Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi :
(L. 57).- Śak-âbdê dhîrayâyini.
Genealogy, with some omissions, generally as in No. 881; but the inscription mentions Nallasiddhi as an elder brother of Erasiddhi.
883.-S. 1129.-Ep. Ind. Vol. VII. p. 149. Tiruvorriyar (Adhipuriévara temple) inscrip
tion of Tammusiddha or Tammusiddhi :
(L. 24)-Bak-4bd8 dhirayyini.
This inscription, like No. 880, after Pottappi-Chôla, introduces Betta [1.], as an ancestor of Tilungavidya (see No. 881), here called Tilungabijja. Otherwise it generally agrees with Nos. 881 and 882.
1 I group together here five inscriptions, Nos. 875-879, of kings mentioned under this title (for which see above, No. 819). Their exact identification is doubtful, and it is even uncertain whether they are all Chôla kings. * Compare Mr. Venkayya's Report for 1899-1900, p. 17. I.e. the modera Nellore.
