account of his illegitimate birth.. He suggested tlierefore 
that the new territory should be called Tondamandalam (the 
district of slaves) and the king without any suspicion named 
it so.'^^ Since that time this coimtry has been called Tonda- 
mandalam, and Tondamandalam was thus founded by Kulot- 
tunga Cola. The name of Kurumbabhumi was then changed 
into Tondamandalam and Adonda Cola was installed as 
Tondamandala Cakravarti. 
" The legitimate daughter of Kulottunga Cola had mar- 
ried Varagunapandya, the only son of Balacandrapandya. 
After Kulottunga Cola's death, which took place in the 69th 
year of his life, Varagunapandya took Colamandalam and 
Tondamandalam, which had belonged to his father-in-law. 
Afterwards Vbhayakulahilipdndya , the son of Varagunapandya 
and of the daughter of Kulottunga Cola, ascended the throne 
of Colamandalam, and his descendants reigned over it for 
three centuries. 
" The progeny of Adonda Cola submitted to their fate 
and received some land for their maintenance. 
" Minaketanapandya was the last and eleventh descendant 
of Ubhayakulakilipandya. So long as these kings ruled, no 
enemies were feared. These kings ruled for 2707 years.''
