Close to it on the north-west the map shows Anakaputtûr (Anekkottaputtûru), and about 2 miles north and slightly east of it Polichallur (Polichchalûr) (probably Kolachchalûru).

The village Semmenpaka, also called (P) Aruntanallar, east of Klipaka, sonth of Pichchamgéri, west of a big hill near Nammangala, and north of Bittiloppaks-This is Sembakkam, also in the Saidâpēt taluka, lat. 12° 56' N., long. 80° 13' E., about 14 miles east by soath of Sriperumbudur. The map shows Rajakilpakkam south-south-west of it, Sittalapakkam nearly north-west (not south) and Namangalam north-east of it, with a hill or mountain south of Nanmangalam.
The next village was in the Vellenalluru nádu of the Poļili kófaku:

It is quite close to and south of the Cooum' river, and the map shows about one mile south-west of it Váyilânallar, and 14 mile cast of it Kannapaļaiyam.
The two next villages were in the Kakaļür niduka of the Ikkâțu kófalud :
20 (vv. 89-91). The villago Ayattûr, east of Atañchånkuppa, south of Surakuļatturu, west of a small river flowing into (?) the tank of the village Paka, and north of Tururu and (?)

1 Sarattur I cannot identify. The Puliyur kótaka apparently was so called after Puliyar, which is close to Madras in the SaidApê tálake of the Chinglepat district, lat. 13° 3;' N., long. 80° 17' E.
• The place after which the kofaka was called, Poļili or, as it is spelt below, Palili and Polali, is the village of Polul near Madrae on the road to Nellore. Vellenalluru is perhaps only another form of Vayalánallar, which will be mentioned presently.
The places after which the ndduka and kofaka were called are the Kakkadr und Ikk Ada of the map, both close to each other in the Tiruvallar taluk of the Chingleput district, about 12 or 13 miles north by west of Sriperumbadar.
