The Colas c4.4

c4.4

The first part now issued takes the story up to the accession of Kulōttunga I. The second part will complete the political history and give an account of the administration and social life of the Cōḷa empire. I have generally indicated the position of all the subsidiary dynasties with the exception of the Kongu Cōḷas. The study of Cōḷa art has not found a place in this book; this needs a word of explanation. I found that so little work had been done on this fascinating subject and that the material at my disposal was so rich and diverse that what I had to say on the subject could not well be compressed into one chapter of a somewhat overgrown book. I hope to treat of it in a separate monograph.
