                            <p>This record is dated in the 3rd year opposite to the <hi rend="bold">4th year</hi> of the reign of <hi rend="bold">Vīra-Pāṇḍya</hi> ‘who took the head of the Chōḷa’ and registers a gift of sheep by <hi rend="bold">Śoḷāntaka Pallavaraiyaṉ</hi> <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> <hi rend="bold">Māṟaṉ-Ādichchan of Pōḻiyūr</hi> in Pōḻiyūr-nāḍu for burning a lamp in the temple of god Sundara-pāṇḍya-Īśvarattu-Bhaṭāra at Tiruchchuḻiyal a <hi rend="italic">dēvadāna</hi> in Paruttikkuḍi-nāḍu. Sundara-Pāṇḍya Īśvaram must have been named after a king or prince of that name. The village is called Paḷḷimaḍai or probably Paḷḷipāḍai, in which latter case, the shrine may have been built in memory of a Sundara-Pāṇḍya.</p>						
                            
                            <p>A certain chieftain of Pōḻiyūr called Māṟaṉ-Āchchaṉ <hi rend="italic">alias</hi> Teṉṉavaṉ-Pallavaraiyaṉ figures in a record dated 4+1st year, 593rd day of a Māṟañjaḍaiyaṉ from Tirupputtūr<note>No. 5 above.</note>, and he was probably an earlier member of the family to which the Māṟaṉ-Āchchaṉ of this inscription belonged. Here he bears the title of ChōḷAntaka-Pallava raiyaṉ from the <hi rend="italic">biruda</hi> of the king Vīra-Pāṇḍya namely ChōḷAntaka, i.e., ‘god of death to the Chōḷa’ which is equivalent to ‘Śōḻaṉṟalaikoṇḍa’ which is found in all his records. From this fact it is clear that a Chōḷa king had actually been killed by Vīra-Pāṇḍya. From a record of this king from Ambāsamudram<note><hi rend="italic">Epigraphia Indica</hi>, Vol. XXV, p. 37.</note> it has been possible to <hi rend="bold">fix his initial date as A.D. 946.</hi></p>
