Sundara-Chola-Pandya: Year 14
This
is an inscription of Jatavarman Sundara-Chola-Pandyadeva, Who, it is
learnt from No.112 of 1905 found at Mannarkoyil near Ambasamudram, was
a son of Rajendra – Chola I. He was evidently appointed by the latter
as his viceroy over the Pandya country after its reannexation
to his kingdom (An. Rept. for 1905, para 25).According to
the inscription the 15th year of Sundara-Chola Pandya
Corresponded to the 24th year of Rajendra-Chola (acc. A.D.
1012 ). Hence the date of the present record would be about A.D. 1036.
It
registers a gift of a perpetual lamp in the temple of
Tiruchchalatturai-udaiya-Bhatara by a resident of the place by name
Vasudeva-Kramavittan. Mulli-nadu is here stated to have formed a
division of Mudigondasola-valanadu in Rajaraja-mandalam.
