Problem: Our forum is becoming like google ( :-) ), I wanted to search on some data related to KIII (and his siblings) and I am seeing tons of threads. Like Google - unless I know what exactly I am looking for it is difficult to search.
Solution: I am looking for suggestions to do these searches, may be thiru can index using the concept of the threads ?
Hi, Oh wow. Me too doing a search on KIII and siblings. Is there anyway I can get them? I assume it is Kulothunga III? (and not someone else?) BTW - one source says K III had one elder brother called Gnana Raja Sekaran, and that he turned to religion at a very early age. Sps might recognize which source it is :)
Sorry, I don't understand. You are trying to search but you are getting lot of them and would like to filter. I am afraid I don't know how to do that unless you find right keyword and time frame.
For eg., you can try searching only in site by doing site:ponniyinselvan.in and click on advanced search and provide more details, like past month, year, etc., Other than that, I don't think google can provide any filter.
Did you try searaching @ ponniyinselvan.in ? It is not that sophisticated like google, but you may get what you want by threads.
If you have any specifics, please send it to me, I will see what I can do.
I tried and suggested in a different way. Go through the messages posted on a weekly basis, extract the content, create a nice article. No volunteers. If we get rid of messages which do not have any archival value, we can achieve the other one, probably this might be easier to start with.
This is very subjective, so we need to come up with focus team to fom the guidelines and follow it. It wouldn't take more than an hour per week.
I am not talking about existing messages, that should be done, but to start with, we can atleast do this for new messages for coming weeks.
Deleting threads are not a good option, the threads are all valuable information. Be it history or socio-economic issues or even sarcasm :- ). Each one's view is its weight in gold. O
I will also do some research and see if we can classify data in an orderly fashion on the ps.net site.
Dear Member Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple in Pallavarayan Pettai(6 kms frin Myladuthurai) has 26 inscriptions.and Sankara Chozhan Ula mention Kulothungan III and his elder brother. His name was mentioned as Nallaman who became a scholar of many languages, turned to religion, did not want to become king. His younger brother, Kumara Maheedharan was named as KulothunganIII and came to throne in 1178AD( By N.Sethuraman, Raman & Raman P.Ltd. Kumbakonam). Kulothungan III's Tirubhuvanam Temple has also many inscriptions and tells about his coronation,victories etc., Kulothunga III's statue is at Tiruvalangadu Temple, and he is also named as 'Sivapathasekaran'.
'Kulothunga Chozha Kovai' tells all deeds of Kulothunga III which was first published in 1920 in Madurai. (N.Sethuraman made a research on Kulothunga III and published a book in 1989).
Dear Ravi, Kulothungan I - 1070 - 1122 Vikrama Cholan - 1118 - 1135 Kulothungan II - 1135 - 1150 -- son Rajarajan II - sons 1. Nallaman 2. Kumara Maheedharan
Rajarajan's sons were little ones, there were problems with Pandyas and Srilankans, and he made his sister's(Neriyudai Peruma)son Sankaran as Yuvarajan with the name Rajathi Rajan in 1166. Kulothungan III came to throne in 1178 and Rajathi Rajan was helping in all deeds upto 1216 and died. Sankara Chola Ula gives the Chola lineage from Vishnu, Bramha, Sooriyan, Manu, Manthadha, Sooravathithan ......upto Kulothungan III. So many inscriptions (Pallipadai, Tarasuram, Tirunarayur, Vazhuvur,Tiruvarur ...)are there for Rajarajan II, Rajathi Rajan and Kulothungan III. 2. N.Sethuraman was the Owner of Raman & Raman Co. the bus transport in Kumbakonam. Now it is Cholan Transport(taken by Govt.) 3. N.Sethuramn made vast research in histoy and wrote many books. He made findings later than KAN, Gopinatha Rao, and Pandarathar.
Dear Ravi, N.Sethuraman's books are 'Aruludai Chola Mandalam', The chholas, Early Cholas, The Imperial Pandyas, The Medivial Pandyas and Sankaran Chola Ula & Kulothunga Cholan Kovai. These were published by himself from Kumbakonam, Nageswaran Vadaku Veethi when he was alive. I am having the books, Sankaran Chola Ula & Kulothuna Cholan Kovai and Medivial Pandyas (Tamil versions-1989). Other books, I have to trace them where it is available. 2. His research articles were published in 'Journal of Epigraphical Society of India-Studies in Place Names'. 3. Chola Pandyan, Chola Gankan, Chola Lankeswaran, Chola Keralan - all in English were published by 'Place Names Society of India'. Dr.K.V.Ramesh, Director of Epigraphy gave full support to N.Sethuraman to publish all his works. So, Epigraphy Dept. in Chennai and Delhi should have the publications, I suppose. Here, in Kumbakonam, I will try to trace them and inform the availability soon.
i think all messages with general/ contemprory topics not meant for archives should be deleted first.
I deleted a few such messages from december 2008.please view the first two or 3 pages. then from the topics in history it would be easier to search and decide what has to go
Dear Sir, Recently I got an information from a book. Our Rajendra Cholan has ordered to make a Nagaswaram in ivory and presented in appreciation to the Nagaswara Vidwan of Arooran Sannidhi in Tiuvarur Temple. After 30 generations, the Nagaswaram is kept as treasure by that family. The famous Nagaswara Vidwan Samiappa Pillai's son Vidwan Latchappa Pillai is having it. He was a Professor in Tamil Nadu Music college and Lecturer in Venkateswara University. Any body heard this? or seen Mr. Latchappa Pillai? Is there any previous discussion about this?
