Re PANCHAVAN MADEVI
  • > Not able to connect Panchavan Madevi with Pandya origin !

    On rethinking this seems to be true. reason : Almost all pandiyan
    princesses who married cholas were identified as "Tennavai maadeviyar"
    and not as panchavan maadeviyar

    Panchavan seems to have other means.

    Like maadevadigal - which was misinterpreted as a name of buddist or
    jain origin. Writer Balakumaran in Udaiyar - had to force lot of
    imaginations to make rajaraja's daughter buddhist. MAADEVADIGAL IS A
    COMMON NAME. ADITYA HAD A DAUGHTER CALLED MAADEVADIGAL !

Howdy, Stranger!
