South-Indian inscriptions, Tamil and Sanskrit, from stone and copper-plate edicts at Mamallapuram, Kanchipuram, in the North Arcot district, and other parts of the Madras Presidency, chiefly collected in 1886-87.

Notes
- 1. See page 64, above. Āmūru-koṭṭa is also mentioned in a copper-plate grant of Śaka 1558 (expired); Ind. Ant. Vol. XIII, p. 132, plate iv b, line 1. Āmūr-nāḍu and Āmūr-koṭṭam are probably named after Āmūr or Āmbūr, a town in the Velūr Tālluqa of the North Arcot District and a station on the Madras Railway; see Sewell’s Lists, Vol. I, p. 163.

Commentary
GEṄGOṆḌA MAṆḌAPA. Madras Survey Map, No. 53. The modern name is perhaps a corruption of Gaṅgai-koṇḍāṉ Maṇḍapa and connected with Gaṅgai-koṇḍa Choḷa, a prince who, according to Dr. Burnell (South- Indian Palaeography, 2nd edition, p. 45, note 1), is mentioned in an inscription at Karuvūr in the Coimbatore District. I read the name gaṁgaikoṇḍa-cola on both faces of a silver coin, which is figured by Sir W. Elliot (Coins of Southern India, plate iv, No. 152).
