Dear Mr.Ashok

Thuvandha Yutham comes under the Ancient Rules of War. It was a duel.
General Rules of War : Before the start of battle, the soldiers and knights
will assemble and make their promises to follow the rules. A knight should
oppose another knight only who is equal to him, and not the ordinary soldiers.
The soldier or knight who wants to leave in the middle of battle, or lost his
weapons, or turns back or lost his sheidl should never be attacked. A soldier
without arms should never be attacked. The messengers coming into the battle to
give some messages to the kings should never be attacked.the servants who assist
the soldiers should not be attacked. If a soldier is fighting with another one,
or without paying attention should be never attacked by other. At the end of
war, probably after sunset both sides can mingle among themselves, cross the
borders, and pick the wounded ones and take them to their for treatment.
Thuvandha Yutham means the duel between two knights with the weapons,
venue, and time they wish. It should be between equal ones, with equal arms.
Others will never interfere.
Sangula Yutham means the battle between ordinary soldiers in which any one
can face a single, double or more number of soldiers as he can, But he should
never be attacked from behind.
An Example in Chola history for this duel:After losing a battle Salukya
Someswaran sent a letter inviting Virarajendran, son of RJC for a duel, with
soldiers mentioning the venue, Koodal Sangamam, (riverside of Tungabadra) on
10th September, Monday, 1067. Virarajendran accepted Someswaran's invitation and
went there. But Someswaran didnot turnout even after a month from the date he
mentioned.. It was said Someswaran became ill and died about March 29th, 1068
drowing himself in Tungabadra. (Ref: Manimangalam inscriptions-(Sii- III)
