The relationship between Vanniyas and Cholas



The marriage relationship (Not all only few) between the Great Vanniya Kula Kshatriyas and the Great Imperial Cholas (Kshatriyas) is appended below :-



The Queen of Aditya Chola-I (871 - 907 A.D), "Kaduvetti Thiribuvana Madevi Vayiriyakkan", who hails from "Kadava Dynasty" (Pallava Dynasty) belongs to our "Vanniya Kula Kshatriyar / Agni Kula Kshatriyar" community. The Queens of Kulottunga Chola-I (1070 - 1120 A.D), "Kadava Mahdevi" and "Thiyagavalli", who also hails from the "Kadava Dynasty" (Pallava Dynasty) belongs to our "Vanniya Kula Kshatriyar / Agni Kula Kshatriyar" community. The "Kadava Kopperunjinga Pallava" (1211 - 1246 A.D) married the daughter of "Kulottunga Chola-III (1178 - 1218 A.D).


"Kizhanadigal", the daughter of "Vilupparaiyar Chieftains" and the Queen of Uttama Chola (973 - 985 A.D)belongs to our "Vanniya Kula Kshatriyar / Agni Kula Kshatriyar" community. The "Vilupparaiyar Chieftains" are "Vanniyas by caste". The present "Viluppuram District" got the name from the "Vanniyar Chieftains Vilupparaiyar", who ruled that area during imperial cholas times. "விழுப்புண் பெற்ற அரையர்கள் (விழுப்பரையர்கள்)". The inscription evidences for the same :-


"This epigraph contains two portions, one in Sanskrit and the other in Tamil. The former engraved in Grantha characters records that Kotacholaka Vimana originally built of brick was now rebuilt of stone by Sendan (Jayantan) Poyakapati. The Tamil portion which is incomplete while recording the same fact describes him as Kumari Sendan alias Jayangondasola Vilupparaiya Nadalvan, a kudippalli of Poypakkam in Panaiyur-nadu in Rajendrasola-valanadu". (S.I.I. Vol-XVII, No.227), (Tiruvakkarai, Viluppuram District, Varadaraja Perumal shrine in the Chandramaulisvara temple), (Adhirajendra Chola, 1068-69 A.D).


"This seems to record some gift made by Kudippalli Sendan Nagan alias Rajendrasola Viluppadirasan of Poygaipakkam, in Panaiyur-nadu in Rajendrasola-valanadu for the merit of his younger brother Sendan Karanai alias Kidarattaraiyan" (S.I.I. Vol-XVII, No.223), (Tiruvakkarai, Viluppuram District, Varadaraja Perumal shrine in the Chandramaulisvara temple), (Kulottunga Chola-I, 1096-97 A.D).
