Summary: Laksminarayan Rao 1955 (p. 26): “Incomplete. Records gift of sheep for a lamp in the temple of Kaḷantai Nakkar by Paṅkāri Nanti Kuppaṭikaḷ of Kiḷāmpākkam which was a Cālaipuṟam in Takkōlam. It is stated at the end that the shepherds to whom the sheep were entrusted had died and that these were given to other shepherds.” Laksminarayan Rao 1955 (p. 56): “Vayirameghavarman, another later Pallava chief whose position in the genealogy is not known, is represented by a record (No. 178 of 1943-44), also from Kaḷāmpākkam, dated in his third year. Kaḷāmpākkam is shortened into Kaḷantai in this record which registers a donation made by a resident of the village who was called Paṅkāri Nantikuppaṭikaḷ for maintaining lamps before god Śiva.”
