Pannāla is the name of a fortress mentioned in the “Miraj plates of Mārasiṃha”. Accordingly, “His mighty son was the illustrious King Jatiga (II), who was opposed to the (whole) multitude of hostile princes, who was a powerful ruler of the city of Tagara, who was (always) true to his word, who shone with his valour, who was a veritable lion of the mountain that was the fortress of Pannāla, the best of hills, who looked splendid with his brilliant rising fame, who was the lord of the renouned Māṇḍalikas of the earth, and was capable of giving protection to the (whole ) earth”.
