EPIGRAPHIA INDIC.A.
[VOL. XXIV.
No regular genealogy of the Kādava chiefs in the Tamil country has so far been attempted, but from a few records available, a tentative one can be drawn up, at least for a period of a century and half commencing from the second half of the 12th century A.D.
Two lithic records from Vriddhāchalam’ and Tiruveņņainallürwhich contain the same text furnish the following genealogy except No. (6) :
(a)
(1) Vaļandāņdār alias Kādavarāyar.
(2) Atkolliyár alias Kādavarāyar (A. D. 1158).
(3) Elisaimõgan Kādavarāyan, who conquered the four quarters" (A.D. 1152).
(4) Arašanārāyanan Kachchiyarāyan
alias Kädavarayan.
(6) Elisaimõgan alias Jananātha
Kachchiyarāyan (A.D. 1184).
(5) Alappirandân Virasēkhara alias Kada
varayan, 'who destroyed Kudal belonging
to Karkatakamārāyaṇ and Adiyama-nādu '.? Three other records give the following genealogies :
(6)
Kada! (Elisaimogan) Alappirandān alias Kädavarāyar.
Pallavandär alias Kädavarāyar or Virar Virag Kādavariyar, ' Conqueror of Tondaimandalam'.
(c)
(Flisaimõgan) Manavalap-perumál.
Kādavarāyar.
