Commentary

ARIE 1937-1938 (p. 87, §23) notes:^↓1 "No. 469 which is an incomplete record dated in the 5th year of Nandivarman, consists of detached stones, and from it it is inferred that a certam Vayiramēkaṉār was the son of Vāṇakōvaraiyar Siddhavaṭaṉār and was ruling in the locality and that at the request of his younger sisterI Mahādevaṭikaḷ, an endowment was made to the temple at Maṇaḷūr. In two inscriptionsns at Tiruvoṟṟiyūr (Nos. 158 and 161 of 1912) a certain Vayiramēkaṉ alias Vāṇakōvaraiyaṉ, the son of Perunaṅkai or Cami Akkaṉ is mentioned in the reign of the Pallava king Aparājita, and since in the present inscription a Vāṇakōvaraiyaṉ Vayiramēkaṉ is stated ,to be the son of Siddhavaṭavaṉ he may be different from the former."
