No.  There is no mention about Vasavadatta in any single line of Cilapadhikaaram.  Having gone through a considerable number of Tamil classics, I do not remember having read this name in any of the ancient books in Tamil.   There is a possibility that this name may appear in Manimekalai. However, I have not read Manimekalai. I just know the bare minimum details of the book.

| Vasavadhatta is the central characted in Bhasa's Svapnavasavadatta.
