Nalankilli and Neunkilli usage in later chola times
  • Cholas of vijayalaya lineage are called as later cholas to distinguish
    them from early (sangam) and middle (kochchenganan) cholas.

    The nalankilli and nedunkilli titles were applied in sangam age. But it
    was thought that this usage had vanished in later chola times and the
    rajakesari - parakesari (notice sanskrit usage) had taken their place.

    This does not seem to be true. Aditya I seems to have got the
    title "Perunarkilli sozhar". Infact there are few inscriptions wherein
    he is just referred to by this name instead of any other title

Howdy, Stranger!
