A later Pallava king named Nantippōttaraiyar (i.e. “the bull-king” or “sprout-king Nanti”) is known in inscript ions as the victor in Teḷḷāṟu. His name is the subject of either a relative participle or an absolutive derived from the root eṟi- , itself governing the oblique teḷḷaṟu, standing for a locative. The whole clause means “who cut” (eṟinta) or “having cut (eṟintu) into pieces” or “smashed” or “destroyed (his enemies) at Teḷḷāṟu.”
