  • Jana,

    Rajaraja's daughter was also called Kundavai - after his sister. She
    married the Vengi prince Vimaladitya (right, history buffs?) who was
    different from Vandhiyathevan.

    I am sure other more knowledgeable sources here will clear up all your
    other doubts.

    ps.

    I'm leaving the original email for easy reference.
  • Perfectly coreet ba....Raja raja nin magaL peyarum Kundavai than. She
    is the one who is married to vengi prince Vimaladityan :).

    And regarding "3) Melum Kundavai - Vimaladityan (vandiyathevan)
    thirumanam patriaya kurippu raja uravugalai mempadutha yetpatra
    kalyanam pola kurippitullare?" , give me two more days. I will upload
    a journal paper on "royal alliances" in the chola period.

    mani
  • I think, this Kundavai is not the Kundavai Piraatti of PS.... and, Rajaraja's younger daughter should also have had that same name....
