The Colas c11.65

c11.65

Nothing is known of the events of this king's reign. That he had his share of fighting, we may, however, infer from a poem which gives a rather conventional description of the havoc wrought on enemy countries by his forces,⁸¹ and from the colophon to another poem which mentions a fight between this king and a Cēra Māndarañ-jēral-irumpoṟai, in which the chieftain Tērvaṇmalaiyan fought on the side of the Cōḷa king. Neither the friend nor the foe⁸² of the Cōḷa on this occasion could now be ascertained.
