マドゥラーのパーンドゥ王で、クラセーカラに攻められた際にランカーのパラッカマバーフ一世に救援を求めたが、援軍の到着が遅れ、末子ヴィーラパンドゥを除く一族もろとも殺害された

A Paṇḍu king of Madhurā. When attacked by Kulasekhara, he appealed for assistance to Parakkamabāhu I of Sri Lanka. Parakkamabāhu sent an army under Laṅkāpura to help him, but by the time the Sinhalese forces arrived, Kulasekhara had slain the king and his family and seized Madhurā. Parakkama’s youngest son, who escaped death, was Vīrapaṇḍu (Cv.lxxvi.76 ff., 142, 193, 200). Parakkama was killed in the village of Tirimalakka. Ibid., lxxvii.52.
