EPIGRAPHIA INDICA.
(VOL. XXIV.
from the fact that Pallavändär, like Maņavālap-perumā), is said to have been the son of Kudal Elisaimágan Alappirandān.
We have seen that Manavālap-perumal of the third set was known as Alagiya-Pallavan and since Köpperuñjingadēva was also called Alagiya-Pallavan, the identification of Manavălapperumal and Pallavāņdār the conqueror of Tondaimandalam' with Jiyamahipati of the fourth spt is easily established. The whole genealogy can, therefore, be tentatively given thus :
(1) Valandāndär alias Kādavariyar.
(2) Atkolliyår alias Kadavariyar (A. D. 1158).
(3) Elitsimogen Kädavarayan, who conquered
the four quarters' (A. D. 1162).
(4) Arasanårāyanan Kachchiyariyan alias
Kädavariyan of Kadal (A. D. 1185).
(5) Kadal Alappirandap Virasēkhara alias Kadaveriyan, who destroyed Kudal belonging to Karkatakamārāyan and the country of
Adigaiman" (A.D. 1186).
(6) Elisaimogan alias Jananātha Kachchi
yariyap' (A, D. 1184).
(7) Pallavändár alias Kādavarāyar& conqueror of Tondaimaņdalam also known 49 Elisaimogan Manavālap-perumă]," Vänilaikanda-perumāļ, Alagiya-Pallavan, Jiyanahipati, Köpperuõjioga I (highest regnal year so far known is 11 probably
corresponding to A. D. 1243).
(8) Köpperuñjinga II (aoon. A.D. 1243).
Manavālap-perumal, whom we have identified with Jiyamahipati of the Tripurantakam inscription, was a subordinate under Kulõttunga-Chola III till about A.D. 1211. He strengthened his position in the country and gradually made Šēndamangalam in the South Arcot District his capital, garrisoned it with forces and declared his independence by issuing records in his own name. The Chāļa king Rājarāja III was captured and imprisoned in this place and was released only when the Hoysala forces marched against this city threatening destruction. An unpublished record from Villiyanür in the French territory near Pondicherry, dated in the 6th year of KÕpperuñjingadēva II, refers to an audit of temple accounts from the 37th year of Tribhuvanavīradēva, i.e.,
