Part 6 - Siddarasa (A D. 1213-14)

Rajaraja pattai Siddharasan was the son of Feddarasan. A record of his is from Gudur taluq dated in the 36th year of Tribhuvana chakravarti Tribhuvanaviradeva Kulottunga (III), Another record of his bearing the same date as the above and from Pandrangam near Reddipalem (Gudur taluq) mentions that Siddharasa married Irumadisriyadevi, the daughter of Uraiyur Choi a Sunslvar Kattadevar. Siddharasa had an older sister Pachchaladevi, the wife of M.F.C. Manumasiddharasar.

His Political Relations

Siddharasa’s allegiance to the Chola emperor Kulottunga is attested by his records. He contracted alliances of marriage with the Telugu cholas for his queen was a chola princes whose father Uraiyurichola Suralvar Kittadevar was probably, as has been suggested already Vragraya mentioned in Panditaradhyacharitra. His sister Pachivadevi was married to MP.C. Manumasiddharasa identical with Manumasiddhi II alias Vallasiddhi II (A.D.l 198-1210) of the Telugu cholas of Nellore. It is not improbable that this Pachoholadevi is identical with Bachaladevi in Pandituradhyacharitra.
