VELVIKUDI GRANT OF NEDUNJADAIYAN
The Sanskrit portion of the record commences with an invocation to Siva (verse 1) and goes on to refer in general terms to the Pandya kings and their race, of which the family priest was the sage Agastyal (vv. 2 and 3). At the end of the previous Kalpa, it is stated, there was a powerful king named Pāņdya who was ruling at the entrance into the sea (i.e., on the coast of a gulf) and that the very sa ne king at the beginning of the current Kalpa was born as Budha, the son of the Moon (v. 4). His son was Purūravas; and in his family, whose crest was a pair of fish, which shared with Indra, the lord of gods, half of his throne and his necklace and was a party in the puråņic churning of the milk ocean, was born king Märavarman, a patron of the learned (vv. 6 and . His son was Raņadhira (v. 9) and his son Māravarman II Rājasimha (vv. 10 and 11) at whose presence the king P.llavamalla ran away from the battlefield (v. 12). This king Rajasimha married a Malava princess and by her begot king Jațile (v. 14), who was also called Parantaka (v. 17). Thus ends the short Sanskrit eulogy (prasasti) which was composed by the Sarvakratuyajin Varödaya-Bhatça (1. 30).
