Hail! On the tenth day of the month of Māśi of the PramādīchaAs Dr. Oppert has shown in the Madras Journal of Literature and Science for the year 1881, p. 276, the erroneous forms Pramodūta and Pramādicha for the two cyclic years Pramoda and Pramādin owe their origin to some old versus memoriales, in two of which we find Pramodo 'tha and Pramādī cha; in course of time the two particles atha and cha were mistaken for portions of the names themselves. In Tamil the two wrong forms have entirely superseded the correct ones. year, which was current (during the reign) of the illustrious rājādhirāja rājaparameśvara, the illustrious Vīra-Devarāya-mahārāyar, . . . . . . . . . . 1 vaḷavuvaḷavu or vaḷaivu means “a house, household premises” (Winslow). was given by a dharmaśāsana to the lord Ammaiappa-nāyaṉār.
