yes and mainly for swetha to note that its a rare phenomenon to name a town after an asura but tanjore was.
and that may give rise in its residents, the ferocious ambition that the asuras were known for
but swetha get one thing straight if mathuranthakan wanted the throne for himself it was perfectly okay by any standards.it was his by right. sundara's sons were actually a generation away from the right.
can swetha throw some light on what uthama chola's son did and why he did not ascend the throne after uthama, paving way for rrc? was it a deal?
Dear Swetha Interesting facts just a few observations
Theres another reason for Thanjavur being called Thanjai....or so I have heard...its because its surrounded by cool green paddy fields Thanmaiyana Nel vayal kalal sooolnthu kulirnthu irunthathaal than..sei yur...Thanjai...
now something, none of these people right from Paranthaka are the rightful heirs, if you think the eldest son gets the throne. I have read somewhere that Aditha Chozhan had a queen from Ganga nadu. The son born to her was the eldest. Our dear Paranthakan - the heroic warrior who fought sitting on the shoulder of two people - is supposed to be the second.
The one who fought on the back of two warriors was the great Vijayalaya Chola....
I believe, the elder one - Kannara Devan is his name, I guess - and Paranthaka fought for the throne in Aditha Chozhan's last days.
Any evidence for this is the first time I am hearing this Its a bit unbeliavable beacuse it was this time that the cholas were consolidating their position after defeating the pandyas and pallavas if they had infighting surely one of these bigger powers would have easily crushed and taken over them....
