I received a well-informed comment for my blog ‘ Arunagiri,The Back round of Madurai Adheenam from MrS.Gomathi Sankar on the relationship of Pandyan Nedumaran, Mangayayakarasiyaar,Raja Raja Cholan .
His information is correct.

Kulachchirai and Mamalla were friends and Mangayarkkarasi was married to Kulachchirai,who was Nedumaran’s Minister.

My mistake was to say it was Raja Raja instead of Mamalla.

I am sorry to post a wrong information and I will be happy to receive corrections of my blogs from informed readers.

Thank you Gomathi Sankar.

I am providing the following information to confirm Mr,Gomathi Sankar’s information.

Sambandar, also called Thirugana Sambandar, Tirugnana Sambanthar, Campantar, Champantar, Jnanasambandar, Gnanasambandar) was a youngSaiva poet-saint of Tamil Nadu who lived around the 7th century CE.[1]

“The key dates of Raja Raja are difficult to come by, scholar N Sethuraman, concludes that he was born in circa 947 ACE, was crowned on 18 July 985 and died in 1014 in the Tamil month of Maka.[3]

Sorry make some of the corrections in your blog olease make note of it sir
mangayarkarasi was the Queen of Madurai and Wife of “Nindra Seer Nedumaran” Pandya King,and kulacheraiyar an close friend of Pandya King nedumaran .Kulacherayar was also the Prime Minister of Pandya Kingdom…
And they Belongs to 7th century……
Raja Raja Chola is not born at that period…..
that time is the black era of Cholas whereas Pallavas capture the cholas place where Mamalla Pallavan Who Built Mamallapuram temple was Nedumaran’s relative…
that is Mamallan’s wife and nedumaran belongs to pandya kingdom they were brother and sister…
whereas “Mangayarkarasi” belongs to Chola Kingdom…..
Please Rectify Those Errors
