We have had this discussions on VD being veetoda maapilai...Useless etc etc....The fortune favours the brave thats what happened to him...In his epigraph Kalki does state that VD survived many more turmoils and wed Kundavai and had a good position in Choal Empire...Unfortunately most sequels did not do justice to him,
In Nandhipura Nayagi...He was in Prison
Havent read Vandhiyadevanin Vaal
In Kaviri Mainthan...Venkatesh forgive me...He was a glorified veetoda maapilai
The only who does justice to the charector created by Kalki is Akilan...Those of you who read Vengaiyin Maindhan would really love the older wiser VD mentoring the young and brash Ilango....He is the Samandha Nagakar of the Chola kingdon who RJC consults for everything.
Why could that scenario not existed May be he did it for the love of the woman who did not want to leave Chola Kingdom

Nandri Sir. Y'day I was really thinking more abt the character of VD.. I couldn't just think him as a mere Veetoda Maappillai kind.... this was bothering me much... Now your mail makes me feel better... :-) Yes... I have read Vengayin Maindhan... and I liked VD in that too... as a wise & brave old guy. RegardsVardhini

sure I must have been influenced by diwakers thought on the subject. especially the way he articulated the facts on the return trip from thanjavur
but then vanthiyathevan destroys a pirate village almost singularly, survives a shipwreck and fights the pandyas finally I guess if he was the hero of my story then perhaps he would have done more. venketesh
