[8] According to the Draksharamam inscription, his personal name was Thiruvarangan and he was the son of Sirilango of Vandalanjeri in Tirunaraiyur-nadu near Kumbakonam.

[9][10] Sir-ilan-kō is not a proper name but rather means the illustrious Yuvaraja(crown-prince) and is quite often used to refer to Lakshmana in Vaishnavite works.

This was taken as a sign of slight for not recognising the Chola superiority and the King dispatched Karunakara Tondaiman to bring the Chalukya to his knees.

According to tradition and the Vaishnava point of view, the Lord on (Tirupati) had parted with his conch and the Sudarshana chakra to Karunākara Perumāl, the conqueror of Kalinga and the hero of Jayamkondar's Kalinkkattuparani.

[18] From the Kalinkkattuparani,Having thus laid waste the whole of the sea-coast kingdom of Kalinga, and planting there a pillar of victory, Karunakara Tondaiman, the lord of Vandaiyar, returns and lies at the feet of his master all the spoils of war[19]Nilakanta Sastri and M. Raghava Iyengar identify Vandainagar with Vanduvangarai near Kumbakonam while Dr. K.V Raman identifies it with Vandalur, an area in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
