INTRODUCTION

7. Vyāgrapuri.: There is no doubt that it is the
same as Chidambaram. The Brahmatspuri of Amir
Khusrau is also identified with Chidambaram by
Dr. S. K. Aiyangar (vide South India and her Muham-
madan Invaders, page 108). Though such an identifi-
cation is not borne out by other sources, there is no harm
in tentatively accepting it. The Madhurāvijayam refers
to the damage suffered by Chidambaram possibly as
the result of the campaigns of Malik Kafur. Gangă
Dēvi plays on the name Vyāgrapuri so that it might also
give the meaning "the abode of tigers."
