Interesting..who is greater - the king who conceptualised the temple or the sirpi who gave life to the vision???? there can be neither without the other...the spark that lights the fire....the spark will die shortly but the fire burns forever...but without the spark there can be no fire...
We should definitely record our appreciation and gratitude to the British for having shown keenness in knowing Indian History, particularly the South Indian History - through epigrahy - thanks to the efforts of their renowned Archeologists - like Heultz and others.
They have furnished unbiased History from what they have decyphered.
Venkayya and other epigraphists assisted them in great way. But they had details of various inscriptions. Not much co-related.
KA Neelakanta Sastry, who was Professor in Madras / Mysore Universities, assembled almost every piece of inscription and given shape to HISTORY of Southern India!
His " The Colas" is a manumental work.
Subsequently Sadasiva Pandarathar of Annamalai University came out with his book Chozhar varalaaru .. followed by Dr. Maa. Raasamaanickanar.
This is the Greatness of KAN.
Among several thousand such inscriptions, Kalki chose one inscription from Udayarkudi @ Kaatumannargudi (which is located on the banks of Veeranam lake - just one KM north of Veeranarayana perumal temple) - which was published by KAN Sastry in Epigraphia Indica and wrote the magnum opus PONNIYINSELVAN.
This inscription is still there on the Northern wall of the sanctum of Anantheeswarar temple - wherein the 4 characters namely Ravidasan - Parameswaran and his two other brothers figure along with Aditha karikalan !
We have extensively discussed this : check Udayarkudi inscriptions / Aditha karikalan murder etc., etc., in the Archieves.
Iamgine KALKI wrote 5 volumes on one inscription - published and narrated by KAN !
The fact of KAN and Kalki are absolutely true. But I disagree on Brits. they tampered with our history so much that RRC and RJC are not even known up north as much as how much Shivaji or Harshavardhana are known in the south. British had systematically killed our history and tampered with the future of young minds that got eventually misled. I guess, my hatred for the crown still lives :-)
