Ponniyin Selvan Varalaatru Peravai

Hi

Not sure if you had discussed these before, please enlighten

1) in the first part, chapter 51, mamallapuram, in the introduction
to Malaiaman, kalki says sundara chola's second wife vanamadevi is
his daugther. so he was the grandather of aditya karikalan. Who was
the first wife ( dont think he was referring at that time to OOmai
rani as wife!) and why the son of the second wife was made yuva raja

2) 958 is the year sundara was crowned. kalki wrote that he was
brought back from the island and crowned immdly. 959 was chevur
battle. In the next chapter 52, kizhavan kalyanam, kalki
writes,when malaiyaman talks of Ak's bravery ..in chevur
battle..that he was not even 16 when he fought the chevur battle. So
AK should hv been born in 943. means sundara was well married and
settled b4 he got went to the island where he met oomai rani??
But in the chapter 17 , book 2, madavar meendathunda, sundara is
shown as talking to kundavai, about his past..he says after
describing his crowning as yuva raja, he says he heard the news of
oomai rani committing suicide from the lighthouse n after which he
married and begot his valiant sons..

incidentally in the same chapter, he describes that his elder
brother was issueless though his first marriage ( Viranaraniyar??)
and got married second time to sembian madevi.

3)Did Uttama consiously delete the inscriptions of his father ...i
saw this post in wiki on Gandaraditya..

Quote:

There are very few inscriptions to be found that could be directly
attributed to him and this may be because earlier inscriptions were
consciously deleted by later Uttama Chola who undertook the task of
converting South Indian temples into granite from brick and mortar
under the "Kalpani" scheme. The conscious decision by Uttama Chola
is mentioned in his inscriptions at Kanchipuram....can anyone
highlight this inscription
