HELLO MATE

The emergence of the Chola power from obscurity, its rise to an important position and its conflicts, first with the Rashtrakutas from beyond the Tungabhadra and later with their successor, the Chalukyas of Kalyani, form the dominant features of the history of South India in the period 850 AD- 1200 AD. Vijyalaya was the founder of the Chola Empire who was at first a feudatory of the Pallavas.

Thanjavur ,Vellur,Polannaruva are some places ruled by them.

Inscriptions. A word of caution. Among the three dynasties, the

most has been written about the Cholas. Of the more than 18,000 Tamil

inscriptions deciphered so far, about 10,000 of them are attributed

to the Cholas.9

These inscriptions, despite their overwhelming

numbers, are not of much value as historical documents.10 They

invariably begin with a prasasti, a lengthy, embellished narrative of

the semi-mythical history of the dynasty,11 then record the details

of the endowments the kings and the members of his family

established for such charitable causes as establishing brahmadeya

villages, maintaining the images donated to the temples or feeding

the priests. Apart from this they contain little else. For example,

the inscription of Rajaraja I at the Rajarajesvaram gives the names,

ancestry, street addresses and compensation of the 400 dancers of

the temple, but nothing about the temple’s construction-related

details.12 Similarly, another inscription of his that mentions the

victorious expedition to Southeast Asia gives no details about

navigational matters, the route of the expedition or the types of

vessels. It is odd that while some of the inscriptions are so precise
