301 to only the settlements of certain leading families in the new kingdom. The ,a-vaipava-mlai follows the tradition in the Vaiypal and the Vaiyã when it says that the Tamil colonists were invited from the Tamil countries by the ruler of Jaffna. The Kailyanilai is silent on this score. The rest of the account runs as 1 èllowe. Puvakavku (BhuvanekabThu), the chief minister who came from ?4aturai (Nadura), was made to reside at Nallr, the capital. Pti-ma1avaj, of the Pak!rati-kulani (Bhag!ratha kula ), from Popariyr, his brother, his brotherin-law Cepaka-maava and the latter's brother were settled in Tirunelvli. According to the Ya-vaipava-mlai, Pinzalvan also took with him five more families. Nara-ciñka-vkutvaa, the Tu.uva who came from KviriyI1r, was settled at Mayilii. The a-vaipava-mlai adds that he was the eldest son of Pravalti-tva. Capaka ppa from Vli-nakar (Yvm., Vvi-nakar), his relative Cantira-cra-mppa and another Kaakarya were settled at Tellipp4ai. Pryirava (Yvm., Pryiram-ut aiy ) from Kvapati (Yvm., Kva]i1r) was settled in Iuvil. The Y a-vaipava-rlai adds that since this village was found to be unsatisfactory he moved to a village further west. lakaa, a ve from Kaccllr, and his four brothers were settled in Paccilaipp4ai. Kaaka-maava from Cikari-mnakar (Yvm., Cikara-ninakar) and his four brothers were settled in Pulli. KUpakrntira (Yvm., K'pakryntira)
from Kpakanu and Pu.ya-inakIpla-ppa (Yvm., were settled in Tolpuram. Tvarcntira, from Puflr was settled in Kvilkkai. u-koa-mutali from Totai-nu (Yvm., Toai-niaalam) was settled in Iruplai. Iru-kulaniunit uyya-t ainyaka (Yvm., Iru-niarapum-tuyya) from Cyr (Yvm., Ceyyr) was settled in the island of Netuntivu (Delft). Pa].lava, and two other chiefs from Vafici were settled in Vei-ntu (Yvm., Veli-natu alias Pallavaraya-kattu). The variations in the lpaa-vaipava-m1ai are not too significant and may be due to either a different version of the Kailyamlai used by the author or the author's own corrections on the basis of boa other sources. There is no doubt that the a-vaipava-mlai account is based on that of the Kailyanilai. This is admitted by the author in the prefatory verse It is difficult to say how far this account is reliable. As this account, unlike those of the Vaiypal and the Vaiy, relates only to certain important families, there i every possibility of it having been based on genuine traditions and genealogies maintained in those families. Even now there are a number of families which claim descent from 1. Km., 11., lk9-l99; Yvm., pp. 27-29. 2. Tim., p.1
