^{page 611 note 5} That the Kōśar were known in four divisions is clearly stated in II. 508–9 of the Maduraik-Kāñji. The author there institutes a comparison between the appearance of the four groups of councillors at the Pāṇḍyan court (other than the ministers) and the coming of the four sections of the Kōśar of “ unfailing word ”.

^{page 611 note 6} There is a Śellūr between the railway station, Koraḍāchēri, in the Tanjore-Negapatam line, and Koḍaivāśal, a place of some importance now, and of great repute in the age of the Śaṅgam. The only objection to the identification is that it is not as near the sea as the text would require. The local Aiyanār- (Śāsta) temple seems identifiable with the “ sacrificial abode ” of Paraśurāma.
