The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c35.s3.13

¹ *The Tamils Eighteen Hundred Years Ago*, pp. 64–78; S. Krishnaswāmi Aiyangar, ‘Some Points in Tamil Literary History,’ *Malabar Quarterly Review*, 1904. The dates in Kanakasabhai’s book seem to be placed too early, Chap. vi of S. K. Aiyangar’s book, *Ancient India*, 1911, is the best history of the Chola kingdom. In the article entitled ‘Karikala and his Times’ (*Ind. Ant.*, 1912, p. 146), K. V. S. Aiyar unsuccessfully tries to prove that Karikāla lived in the earlier half of the sixth century after Christ. That view seems to me to be wholly untenable, and to involve a false chronology of Tamil literature.
