Notes

1. See Nos. 191 and 234 below.
2. The original province of the Bāṇas extended from Puṅganūr in the west to Kāḷahasti in the east. The river Pālār probably formed the southern boundary. But, after the transfer of their kingdom to the Gaṅga Pṛithvīpati II by the Chōḷa king Parāntaka I, the Bāṇas seem to have crossed the Pālār and settled on the north bank of the river Peṇṇār, forming a new division called Vāṇagōppāḍi-nāḍu. After the withdrawal of the Pāṇḍyas from Madura to the Tinnevelly district, members of this family even drifted further south and settled at Madura and the surrounding region wielding considerable influence in the Locality.
