Of the villages noted above, whose revenues had been assigned to the palli Anaimangalam. Amür. Vadakudi and Palaiyur are in the list of villages of the Negapatam Taluk of the Tanjore District (Madras Presidency) and Muñjikudi, which, according to the Lar ger Leiden plates, formed the South-western boundary of Āpaimangalam, must also be in the same Taluk.
The historical introduction of Kulottunga's inscriptions commences in different ways. One of them found in his earlier epigraphs begins with the words tirumanni, vilangum and records that with the sole aid of his arm and sword, he captured herds of elephants at Vayiragaram (Wairagadh in the Chanda District of the Central Provinces), received tribute from Dhārāvarsha of the Chakkarakotta (country) and brought the earth under his parasol. In these epigraphs, which are dated up to the 4th year of reign, the king is styled Rājakësarivarman alias Räjëndra-Chõladēva. Another insoription dated in the 6th year of his reign commences with the words pu-melarivai. The majority of his other records, dated between the 6th and 49th years, have either (1) the introduction pugal-Minda-punari, which gives a detailed account of the king's achievements, or (2) pugal-madu-uslangawhich refers in general terms to his victory of the Chēra, Pandya, and Vikramaditya VI and Simhapa, i.e., Jayasimha. The late Dr. Hultzsch has dealt with the events of the reign of Kulõttunga as could be gathered from the Vikramānkadēvacharita of Bilhana.
