Of the other C,a inscriptions from Polonnaruva,
there are two gragmentary inscriptions which record the gift
of a large number of cows. One is from Siva Dvle No.11. It
records the gift o one hundred and fourteen cows to the temple
of the 'Lord of Jaanitha-puram alias Pulainari' (Vava-mtviivaram)
The other is found engraved on the flight of steps
at the Vaadge. It registers the gift of a certain measure of
ghee and thirty cows Unfortunately the names of the donors are
not preserved in these two epigrapbs. An interesting aspect of
the iva Dvfle inscription is the occurrence of the toponymn
Pula.jnarj. This shows that the Tamilised form of the Sinhalese
Polonnaru was used side by side with the new C3a name of
Jaantha-puram or Jaantha-mañg4am, as in the case of other
like Nahtittha and Velgama where Tamils were living
