Velvikkudi Grant (a later copper-plate inscription) is the only source information about Avanisulamani.[2][3] The grant praises the Pandya, claiming that he removed the common ownership of the Earth (by making it his own) and married the goddess of the flower (Lakshmi).[3]

Maravarman Avanisulamani was succeeded by his son Seliyan Sendan (Jayantavarman).[1][4]
