Note. It is curious that in the 23rd year of Jat. Kulasekhara I (whose reign began in A.D. 1190) there is a date, Tuesday 9 Ap. 1213, which satisfies the present conditions, vis, 16 Mêsba and "Anuradha"; but Madras Epigraphist thinks the characters of the inscription cannot be referred to beginning of 13th cent.
MAravarman Sundara Pandya II. (Reign began between 15 June 1238 and 18 Jan, 1299.)
* 3 July and 1 December 1238. 1908 (180). From the north wall of the first prakdra of the Agasty@svara shrine in the Tirattaliśvara temple at Tirupputûr (Madura District).

Note. The result agrees with that of Prof. Jacobi, publisbed, since this article was written, in Ep. Ind. Vol. XI, p. 185: but the learned author satisfied himself with stating that the king in question must have begun to reign-in A.D. 1237-38. As a matter of fact, the king is identical with Maravarman Sundara Pandya II (Kielhorn's C. vide Ep. Ind. vol. IX, p. 227), though the inscription itself does not style him a Mdravarman; and if my other identifications of Madras and Pudukottai dates of this reigo are correct, he must have come to the throne between 6 Oct, and 1 Decr. 1238, i.e. in A.D. 1238-89, not in A, D. 1237-38.
1895 (169). From the east wall of the mandapa surrounding the shrine of the goddess in the Kailasapati temple at Gangaikondan (Tinnevelly District).
