the North Arcot district. Kalavd-nivrit is derived from the town of Kalavai in the Arcot taluka of the North Arcot district. For Paduvar-kottam see above, Vol. IV. pp. 82, 138,180, 271; Vol. V. p. 50%3 Vol. VII. p. 1925 and South-Ind. Insor. Vol. III. p. 89. The name of the village granted, Nipatataka, is evidently a Sanskrit translation of a Tamil name which should be Kadapperi. As a matter of fact there is at present a village called Kadappêri in the WAlajápêt tâla ka of the North Arcot district, which is situated five miles east of the anicat or masonry dam across the Pålår river, and two miles south-west of Kaveripak itself. It is situated on the Kávêrippikkam channel which at present takes off from the PAlår river on the southern side of the anicut, and is irrigated by a branch from it. It thus retains its ancient name, notwithstanding the attempt of a king to impose on it a new one.
