One is Manu Needhi Chola,means, one who effectively enforced the rules elaborated by Manu.
He ran his son over by his chariot,(he was riding it) because a Cow complained to him by ringing the Bell he installed to hear people's grievances and informed him that his son ran over its calf.
Manuneedhi Chola atoned it by running his chariot over his son!
The episode is found in the Hitti Civilization-they were the forerunners of the Anatolian Civilization.
Apart from the evidence of Hitties being influenced by the Tamils, it might be possible that the Cholas were in Hittie Kingdom,possibly they had a hand in forming the Hittie Empire.
This is a speculation I have in the light of many of the Hitties customs and the depiction of a chariot running over a man.
In the Tamil Classics, King Manu Needhi Chola ran his son down by his chariot because his son ran over a calf and because the cow had complained of this to him by ringing the bell set up by the king for the people to let him know of their problems!
