Keanisetti treats the story of the Cholas in the kavari Valley in the second half of the 9the century very differently. While available histories begin the story with Vijayalaya, he begins it with his grandson, Parantaka and in a dramatic way. Parantaka is described to have married, “left and right”, wives from rich, landed families. –Reprdouced Biblio: A Review of Books BOOK REVIEW AR 0 0 ddc 0 0 408503 IIPA IIPA 2026-05-14 30(7-8), Jul-Sep, 2025: p16-16 AR138845 2026-05-14 AR
