MISCELLANEOUS
Pallavas
59. There are only two inscriptions of the Pallavas, both from Kāppalūr
in the North Arcot district (Nos.277 and 282) and these are mere fragments
belonging to Dantivarman and Kampavarman. The record of the latter registers
a gift of land by the sabhā of Kāmappullūr to a certain Uruppuṭṭūr Narasiṅga-Tiruvēdi, probably as a bhaṭṭ-vṛitti.
Parthivendravarman.
60. Parthivēndravarman has two inscriptions in the collection. Of these
one found in a temple at Madras (now in the Museum) (No. 306) is dated in his
8th year and records a gift for a lamp to
the temple at Tiruchchuram, a hamlet
of Nayadhīramaṅgalam in Śurattūr-nāḍu, a subdivision of Puliyūr-kōṭṭam.
Judging from the contents, the inscribed stone should have been removed from
its place in the temple at Triśūlam near Pallāvaram in the Chingleput district. ‘Nayadhīra’ was the surname of the Pallava king Nandivarman Pallavamalla.
The other inscription (No. 238) which is from Kīlachchūr in the North Arcot
district, refers to Uttamaśivanāthan, an officer under. .Śola. .Pṛithvīgaṅgaraiyar who is stated to have been administering the region up to Kallaḍuppūr,
evidently as a feudatory of Pārthivendra.
Kannaradeva, â who look Kachchi and Tañjai â.
61. Kannaradēva ‘ who took Kachchi and Tañjai ’, i.e., Kṛishṇa III is
represented by 4 inscriptions in the collection (Nos. 242, 269, 272 and 274),
all of which are from the North Arcot
District and are dated in the 25th and
26th years of his reign. Of these, No. 242 dated in the 26th year in engraved
on a slab set up in front of the Gaṇapati shrine at Puduppāḷaiyam and records
the construction of the gōpura in the temple at Vaśugūr and the consecration
