  • Muchukunda Chozha Ruled From North Western India with Mandhata

    Muchukunda Chozha Ruled From North Western India with Mandhata

    In my earlier articles I wrote about the Chozha Kings and their genealogy. The Chozhas declare themselves to be from Ikshvaku Dynasty and have recorded this in Thiruvalankadu Copperplates.

    When we check the genealogy of Ikshvaku Dynasty, we find that Muchukunda, though shown in the dynasty, did not become a king after his father Mandhata.

    ChitradhanvanGenealogy from Chola Inscriptions

    When we compare the list ,that is as mentioned by Cholas and by Sanskrit texts as Ikshvaku Dynasty, we find that Muchukunda Chozha did not come to power after Mandhata. Mandhata is succeeded by his son Purukutsa I.The reason is that Mandhata married a Yadava princess and of her was born Muchukunda.

    (Yuvanashwa Father of Mandhata https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MandhatriSpouse-Bindumati Chaitrarathi-

    Children-Purukutsa, Ambarisha and Muchukunda)

    Mandhata married Bindumati Chaitrarathi, daughter of Yadava king Shashabindu and granddaughter of Chitraratha.

    As Muchukunda did not succeed Mandhata in the lineage as shown in Ikshvaku Dynasty list it is because Mandhata’s son Muchukunda was through the Yadava princess Chaitrarathi.

    Muchukunda , it may be theorised that he ruled the area ruled by Mandhata who is the first recorded Chakravarthi in Indian texts, Shodasha Rajika , Great Emperors ‘Mandhata on assuming power organized a strong army and led a series of expedition against his neighbouring kingdoms. The rulers of Kashi and Maithila and his uncle Tansu, the ruler of Prathisthan accepted his suzerainty. Other important rulers whom Mandhata vanquished were Janmejaya the king of Anavas, the Yadava king Sasabindu of Mahishamati and Marutta a king described as one of the five great emperors of ancient India and ruling over territory around North West India. The Asura kingdoms of Varshikha and Narmani were also subdued. Mandhata had a long war with the Druhyu king Angara who ruled over Punjab and finally killed him and conquered his kingdom. Angara’s son Gandhara accepted the suzerainty of Mandhata, moved towards North-West (Afghanistan) and gave his name to that region.https://ithihas.wordpress.com/2017/10/15/mandhata-the-first-samrat-of-ancient-india/

    His other brother Ambareesa was married to Yadav dynasty,which is a sub division of Puru Dynasty (aka Chandra vansh or Lunar Dynasty) .And Muchukunda Chozha Ruled along with his father Mandhata North and North Western Provinces of present India.

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

    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.
