who bears a number of birudas such as Mahāmaṇḍalēśvara Gaṇḍanārāyaṇa-tirup-paḍi-Vēḷaikkāran, Valudi-mānaṅgātta-Peru-
māḷ and Tulukka-moharan-tavirttān. The record is peculiarly worded and dated in

village Vīramaṅgalam, which had already
been in the enjoyment of the temple of
Ūrbhāgaṅkoṇḍaruḷiya-Mahādēva at Eriyānaraiyūr alias Śōlakēraḷa chaturvēdimaṅgalam, a brahmadēya in Paranūrkūrram, as a paṇḍāravāḍai, for the expenses of
the car festival in the temple. He is also stated to have laid out a street called
the Ānandatāṇḍavan-tiruvīdi after levelling up the rocky ground and built the
car for the festival. From his title Valudi-mānaṅgāttār, it can be supposed that
this local chieftain probably in charge of Valudilampaṭtu-sīrmai had taken part in
Achyutarāya’s southern expedition against the Tiruvaḍi king and the Sāḷuva
rebel Śellappar and rendered assistance to the then Pāṇḍya king (Valudi).
