    Chozhas Were In North , permanently Settled in South In Dwapara Yug?

    In my earlier articles, I had explored the references to Chozhas in Sanskrit literature, Ramayana, Mahabharata and the references to Kings mentioned in Chozha inscriptions in Thiruvalankadu Copperplates of Chozhas. Chozhas,as in anywhere else where they recorded, mention in these Copperplates that they are the descendants of Suryavansh, Ikshvaku Dynasty and they list the names. These names agree with the list provided Puran,( some discrepancies are found and they are very minimal; I had written on this point .).

    History of South Indian Kings ,List Verified Dates From 5100 CE

    As one can see in the excerpts provided below , one may find that Uparichara was a king in Dwapara Yug , Cholavarman, grandson of Dushyant and son of Bharat ,was the first Chozha King.And his grandson Perunarkilli was the first King in Kaliyug.

    Now comes intriguing part. Cholas are reported to have ruled in South. Yet we find that Muchukunda Chozha and Sibi having been present in the North of Vindhyas. Sibi is reported to have built the Pundarikaksha Temple at Thiruvellarai near Sri Rangam in Tamil Nadu.Again we find Muchukunda Chozha is referred to in Ramayana and he is reported to have lived in present Hyderabad India.He helped Krishna, who lived in Dwapara Yug, kill Kala Yavan, who was a Greek!

    From the genealogy it transpires that the Earliest Chozha kings seem to have been present in the North of Vindhyas , annexed and ruled the areas of South. Sibi is referred to as Sivi in the North and he ruled from there.

    The Cholas seem to have settled in South permanently after Dwapara Yuga and their hold in the North seem to have waned.

    It was King Chitradhanvan, of Ikshvaku) Chola Dynasty. Chitradhanvan’ s great grandson was the last King in Treta Yuga.’His son was Narendrapati who became king at the end of the Treta age.  His son was king Vasu entitled Uparichara on account of his having received a celestial car from Indra by which he moved about in all directions (v. 39).  https://ramanisblog.in/2020/08/07/chola-kings-list-treta-yuga-ikshvaku-tamil-copper-plates-evidence/

    One must remember that Cholas belong to Ikshvaku .Ramanisblog

    Muchukunda is mentioned in The Epics Manimekkalai, a Jain work,Silappadhikaram,Jain work,Kaligathupparani and in more post Sangam era literature.They record that Muchukunda Chozha helped Indra and as a token of gratitude Indra provided him with a Guardian Goblin( Booth) to protect Poompuhar Chozha city. It was called Naalangaadi Bootham, நாளங்காடி பூதம்.

  • River Kaveri Brought To Earth Chola King Close Of Treta Yuga

    River Kaveri Brought To Earth Chola King Close Of Treta Yuga

    It is always a great pleasure to delve into ancient Tamil literature and study it in conjunction with Purana Ithihasa,Ramayana and Mahabharata.And to check them against Landmasses and River bodies is exhilarating.

    I have been writing on the antiquity of Sanatana Dharma,Tamil and their intricate relationship. Each supplements the other.One finds references to Tamil,Tamils,Tamil land in Puran,Vedas and Ithihasas, Ramayana.They also talk about geography of Bharatvarsh and it’s flora and fauna.And waterbodies.The daily ritual of Sandhya vandhana of Hindus,Sun Worship, mention Seven Holy rivers.They are

    • Ganga
    • Yamuna
    • Godavari
    • Saraswati
    • Narmada
    • Sindhu
    • Kaveri

    ‘ Gange cha Yamuneschaiva, Godavari Saraswati; Narmadhe Sindhu Kaveri Jalesmin Sannithim kuru’

    River Kaveri which flows South of Vindhyas from Karnataka through Tamil Nadu is mentioned in early texts .Kaveri is considered as holy as Ganga.It is considered so holy that the Chola kings built over 100 temples on it’s banks. The first temple of Vishnu on the banks of Kaveri begins at Srirangapatna in Karnataka and the last Vishnu temple on the banks of Kaveri before Kaveri joins the sea at Poompuhar, is Srirangam.There is a saying in Tamil that Kaveri worships Renga,Vishnu wherever she goes.Kavei is inseparable from Tamil Culture.Sanskrit texts also as I said earlier,venerate Kaveri as Holy.

    सर्वपापक्षयकरे मम पापं विनाशय ।
    कवेरकन्ये कावेरि समुद्रमहिषिप्रिये ‘ Kaverikanya(Kaveri) is very holy and is considered as beloved of Ocean’s Beloved.( Varuni is the consort of Varuna,Ocean)

    The origin of Kaveri river is associated with Sage Agastya and it was brought to earth by him.We find references to Agastya ,apart from references to him in Puran, Vedas,is mentioned in Vedas. He imparted Adhitya Hruday stotra to Sri Rama to shrug of his depression when Lakshmana was felled by Ravana’s Mohanastra. Agastya is reported to have come down south . This time frame is validated by Star Canopus, Agastya Nakshatra visibility in the southern hemisphere.And Ramayana lists over Thirty Rivers. List provided here below from research paper. I recommend readers to visit the site,( link provided in this article) and read a well researched study.

    Now was Kaveri brought down to earth like Ganga was by Bhagirath, ancestor of Sri. Rama?Answer is Yes. It was King Chitradhanvan, of Ikshvaku) Chola Dynasty. Chitradhanvan’ s great grandson was the last King in Treta Yuga.’His son was Narendrapati who became king at the end of the Treta age.  His son was king Vasu entitled Uparichara on account of his having received a celestial car from Indra by which he moved about in all directions (v. 39).  https://ramanisblog.in/2020/08/07/chola-kings-list-treta-yuga-ikshvaku-tamil-copper-plates-evidence/

    One must remember that Cholas belong to Ikshvaku Dynasty.

    Cholavarman was the King who founded the Chola Dynasty in South ( Cholas had their Kingdom in North of Vindhyas too.Sivi, Muchukunda,among others ruled from there). Cholavarman was the grandson of Dushyant and son of Bharath‘. Bharat varsh is named after Bharat.

    Cholavarman’s son was Rajakesarivarman and Rajakesarin’s son was Parakesarin (vv. 30 and 31).  These two names were used as titles alternately by the Chola kings in the order of their coronation (v. 32).  Parakesarin’s son was Chitraratha; his son was Chitrasva and his son, Chitradhanvan (v. 33).  It is stated that this last king Chitradhanvan brought into his dominions the river Kaverakanyaka, i.e., Kaveri, just as Bhagiratha brought into the earth Ganga, the river of the gods (v. 35).  In that family was born Suraguru entitled Mrityujit (v. 36).  In his family was born Chitraratha who bore the title Vyaghraketu after his banner on which was the figure of a tiger.
