> Madan in his vandargal vendrargal says that Cholas knew about this and there
may be a reason not venturing westward. he does not tell why.
> Can anyone say something on this too


yes sashwath. the attacks of ghazni were later than rrc's time
and there are some possible indications that treasures were transported for safekeeping in t he south. the kamboja raja( ujjain and cambodia were of the same name) sent the precious stone later embedded ont he chidambaram temple roof

while the afghans took the west coast route the cholas took the east coast route. they were a 1000 miles away even if they had been contemprories

kamboja stone was much later. perhaps kulothunga. we have an inscription on it and vj could produce that
