When I read this, thought I will check this out. And read the
details on the madras museum plates here.

http://www.whatisindia.com/inscriptions/south_indian_inscriptions/vol
ume_3/no_128_uttama_chola.html

here is what it says about the 'Madurai konda' part.

"The reference to previous kings in the body of the Tamil portion is
very interesting inasmuch as it enables us to identify king
Parakesarivarman Uttama-Chola, the 16th year of whose reign is
quoted twice in II. 11f. and 72 f., with the uncle and immediate
predecessor of Rajaraja I. These references as stated already are
the 22nd year of a certain Parakesarivarman (I. 28 f.), the 9th year
of Vijaya-Kampavarman ( I. 34 f.) and the 18th year of
Parakesarivarman, `who took Madirai (Madura) and Ilam (Ceylon)' (I.
96 f.) Vijaya-Kampavaraman has been attributed to the 9th century
A.D. by Professor Hultzsch, and Parakesarivarman, `who took Madirai
and Ilam' is Madiraikonda Parantaka I.[5]"

The museum plates refer to Parantaka I as the 'madurai kondan' and
he is referred while mentioning th geneology of Uttama.

Thus someone ought to update Wiki to make chages to this statement.
