RJC Kadaram and Thanjavur
  • Dear all
    have been reading Kadal pura for god knows how manyth time...
    there's a bit which created a bit of curiosity
    I hope one of you can answer question

    ''kalaiththakkor pugazh thalaithak kolamum
    thithamavalvinai madhamalingamum kalamudhirak
    kadunthiral (e)lamuri desamum thennakka varpozhil
    manakkavaramum thodukadal kaval kadumurat kadaramum....''
    rjc meikeerthi in big temple south face second pattai kalvettu

    Sandilyan claims this is RJC's Kadaram campaign and the countries he winned over and this is found in the Kalvettu on the south face of big temple in thanjavur

    this has raised two questins in my mind..
    1.what was the time frame between his gangai campaign and kadaram....if kadaram followed ganagai then why not print these in GKC?
    have anyone of you seen this in thanjavur sps,kamal?

    2.The highlighted Lamuri desam what exactly was this ...we have had debates and discissions about Lemuria...does this have anything to do with that


    I know thalaithakkolam was burma
    manakkavaram was nicobar
    kadaram is kedah of malayasia

    what is lamuri desam and madamalingam

    any takers
  • Dear sri

    After the ganga expedition during 1021 to 1023 by 1025 rjc started
    kedaram expedition using of kalingan sailor from palur port and
    manikapatna port which is near from puri.

    As u know kalingam sailors are well versed with that route since 6 th
    century of sailobodeva contemporary of pallavas.

    from palur port u can see the mahindra giri which 35 km from there.


    There is a inscription by rjc on war with of vimaladitya.

    if will analysis of perisan and arab records we can get more on this .

    yesterday during our Historical Links research foundation
    innaugaration ,Christober Hill prof of history from us mentioned that
    there is a lot of records in UK Musueam and universities of UK about
    india particularly maritime activites ,trade and kingdom.

    he assured me to get more information on cholas from us and uk.

  • Dear Sri,

    Madamalingam is identified with modern Nakhon Si
    Thammarat - ( Tambralinga with capital at Ligor,
    Chinese records as Tan-ma-ling )

    Ilamuridesam is at modern Aceh. ( Lamuri of the Arabs,
    Lambri of Marco Polo, Lan-Wuli or Lan-Li or Lan-po-li
    of Chinese records.)

    Most of the cities raided by RJC can be co-related
    with those of Chinese/Srilankan/Arab/ native records!

    RJC's naval expedition was a real one!
  • Dear all
    I guess I have to wait till my next trip to India to find out if this meikeerthi is in Thanjavur and wonder why RjC did it in thnajavur rather than GKC
