Kollip-purai: An Inscribed Tamil Coin
  • Val-vil Ori
    Ori, the Lord of Kolli hill, was celebrated as one of seven great
    vallal - patron of the Sangam age. He was a great archer and hence,
    came to be called Val-vil Ori 17 He was probably the son of Adan and
    was called Adan Ori(18) He had a swift horse also named Ori(19). It is
    seen from the description of him found in the works that he was a
    great connoisseur of music and dance. The dancers who came to his
    court were honoured with great fortunes and a golden garland with
    kuvalai flowers fastened to silver threads(20)

    Do these ring a bell...amazing for kalki to have woven all these
    historic detail into his epic
