Notes

1. Milāḍu alias Jananātha-vaḷanāḍu roughly comprised the modern South Arcot and portion of the Salem districts A family of chieftains called Malaiyamāns with Tirukkōyilūr as their capital rose to power in this region and they came to prominence by rendering help to one or the other of the principal powers of South India. Ancient Tamil works like Aganāṉūṟu, Puṟanāṉuṟu, etc. and inscriptions from the time of Parāntaka I (A.R. No. 279 of 1902) onwards mention these chiefs. They had marriage connections with the Chōḷas and the Pāṇḍyas, and they also claimed connection with the Chēdi family. It may be pointed out that the rulers of the distant Sumatra and Java were known as Śailēndras (Tam. Malaiyamān) in about the 9th century A.D.
