RRC last year 1014 or 1016 : 1015 - as of now..
  • Dear Vijay,

    Read that link and checking with Dr. RN himself.

    Will reconfirm..

    The last evidence that Rajendra I - co ruled with RRC - is from Tiruvalanchuzhi Kshetra balar temple - found by us during excavation and read and recorded by Dr. KKvn / Dr. Nalini - reported in varalaaru.com , varalaaru issue and book Valanchuzhi vaanar.

    This off-set Kudanthai Sethuraman's postulate that Rajendra performed thila-parvatham for first death ceremony of RRC in 1015... which should have been the last rites by Rajendra to his father.

    4th year - Rajendra - to my knowledge 2 inscriptions : one giving vibbodhi madal to Periaperumal ( RRC bronze) at Thanjai .. and another lavish Grant by RjC at Thiruvaiyaru ..

    Let me talk to Dr. RN again and report.

    This is a valid query need to be gone into in depth.

    thanks for referring dear Vijay.

  • Dear Vijay,

    spoke to Dr. RN ..
    first year of RRC ends at 986. 985 + 1 = 986
    30th Year of RRC should end at 985 + 30 = 1015 AD.

    Also there is a published reference of 32nd RRC inscription - ASI - in SII - vol (XXIV ) ( i remember) Srirangam inscriptions - scribed over a pillar stone - which was found about 80 years back - but not any more !!

    Allowing overlap 1016 AD .. was putforth says Dr. RN..

    ( Dr. Kalaikovan & Dr. Nalini - helped reading the inscription unearthed during Ksetrabalar small temple excavations in tiruvalanchuzhi - that RjC's 3rd Year of co-ruling was RRC's 29th year !! )

    Will get more details in due course and post.
