  • while we are analysing how kalki chose the names for his fictional
    charecters
    pongkuzhai- amman's name from a neighbourhood temple
    amutha- an anagram of uthama
    kanthamaran sambuvarayan- a real king of name kanthasuryan
    sambuvarayan

    we should also analyse the reason for the real names.

    why did arulmozhi choose the name rajarajan. was it just a political
    name - the king of kings or something else?
    or was it religious?
    there is a temple in kerala with the name of the lord- rajarajeshwaran

    does any body know of such a shiva name in tamil nadu????
  • I have read somewhere it was confered to him, by Thillai Vazh
    AnthaNar.

    Rajendhra Cholan!
