HI SPS, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karikalan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gajabahu_synchronism Clearly states that that Karikalan is 1-2nd century. I guess you could have mistaken Karikalan for someone else in the 5th - 6th Century in the chola…

I doubt if there were Telugu inscriptions before or during Karikala's time(2century BC-1century AD?) Most of the inscriptions north of Tamilakam were mostly in Prakarit or sanskrit or in Brahmi. This was something I read, but no clear proof or …

In case, you would want to store such informatioin electronically, I would suggest that we have our own source, trusting yahoogroups to keep all your files safe is not a good idea.
