Report on the Mackenzie Manuscripfs. 



[July 



This manuscript, in the former portion, is a very brief outline ab- 

 stract of matters contained in the Madura St* hala-purana ; needless 

 here to be repeated. It comes down from Kulasec' hara,\^\{\\ the usual 

 list of fabulous circumslancos, to Kirta Pandiyvn and the Manuka 

 flood (as alleged) in his reign. The restoration of the place under 

 Kirti-pushana Pandiyan, is then narrated, conformably to the afore- 

 said Piirana ; and the abstract is continued down to Kuna-Pandiyan, 

 and the impaling of the Bauddhas, with the account of which, and 

 with a few further unimportant particulars, the SChala purdna ends. 



This manuscript then proceeds thus : In the Cali-yugam the kings 

 agreeing with this age" (that is, as I suppose, not fabulous or extraor- 

 dinary ) " are according to the following detail 



1. Soma Sundara. 13. Martanda. 



2. Carpura Sundara. 14. Kuvalaiyananta. 



3. Cumara Sec'hara. 15. Kunaliya. 



4. Cumara Sundara. IG. Satru Vigara. 



5. Sundara Raja. 17. Satru Sangara. 



6. Sanmuc'ha Raja. 18. Vira Varma. 



7. Meru Suntara. 19. Yira bagu. 



8. Indra Varma. 20. Vaculaparana. 



9. Chandra Kulatipa. 21. Vajra Singhu. 



10. Mina Kethana. 22. Varuna Kulottunga. 



11. MinaDhvaja. 23. Adi-vira-rama. 



12. Margatha Dhvaja. 24. Kulaverdd'hana. 



The firsi inroad of Mahomedans under one herein named Midla is 

 then mentioned, and their being expelled by a liindu raja, from the 

 north, named Camanan, It then states that one of the offspring of the 

 Pandiya race, named Soma Sec'hara, who had before tied to the west- 

 ward, collected forces by the aid of the Malayalam, and Mysore, rajas ; 

 and, having subdued the greater part of the kingdom, the late con- 

 queror of the Mahomedans Camanan yielded up to -Sdma-^ec'/iara the 

 country, and retired. The race from Sofna-sec^hara is then continued 

 thus : 



25. Soma Sundara. 32. Bima-sena. 



26. Raja-raja. 33. Pratapa-raja. 



27. Raja Kunjira. 34. Vara-guna.
