Pullur Kodavalam inscription
The Pullur Kodavalam inscription is an early 11th century stone inscription from Pullur, near Kanhangad in Kerala, south India. The old Malayalam inscription in Vattezhuthu script is engraved on a single stone slab in the courtyard of the Pullur Kodavalam Vishnu Temple .
The inscription relates to the rule of medieval Chera king Bhaskara Ravi "Manukuladitya" in Kasaragodu. It is the geographically northernmost available epigraphical record mentioning a medieval Chera king of Kerala. The analysis of the inscription also identified king "Manukuladitya" with king Bhaskara Ravi.
- The record falls under the A-series inscriptions of king Bhaskara Ravi. Initially, the regnal year was misunderstood as 55th.
- The record says that the uralar of Kudavalam village installed the inscribed stone showing three "kazhanju" of gold as the amount of annual dues fixed by royal order to be paid to the king.
- It also helps in the dating of Sanskrit philosopher-poet Sarvajnatma and Sanskrit Yamaka poet Narayana.
- King "Manukuladitya" was formerly identified with Chalukya ruler Vikramaditya II or Chola ruler Aditya I
