Commentary

The word taṁbulu (pl.) is an early variant of later tammuḍu "younger brother". A viṣaya or nāṇḍu with the name vaṁganūr is mentioned (and written clearly) in [1958] 1949–1950, № 14, l. 2 and also mentioned in 1948, № 604, l. 2. The place name consists of the elements vaṁgan(V) and ūru "village"; the first element could go back to Telugu vaṁka "crooked", compare Kannaḍa vaṁka "the winding course of a stream" (Kittel 1894, p. 1370), with locative suffix. Hence, the place name could mean "village at the river curve". The modern village Vaṁganūr actually is situated at a curve of the Pennar river. It might hence be possible that the viṣaya was also simply called vaṁgana "at the river curve" (Ramesh and Ramachandra Murthy 1969–1970, № 56 B, l. 3) if it wasn’t really vaṁganūr. The attested vaṁgaru on the other hand (Ramesh and Ramachandra Murthy 1969–1970, № 56 C, l. 3) very probably is a misspelling for vaṁganūru because of etymological reasons.
