The presence of Sangam Cholas in the present South Telugu country is indicated from the mentioning of Vengadanadu(Tholkappiyam) and Kaariyaaru (Purananooru). The fact that Tamil was the popular language or at least lingua franca in the 2nd century Satavahana kingdom is indicated in the legends of Vashishtiputra's coins. Traditionally Kanchi is considered to be the homeland of Pallavas, as though they asserted themselves on the collapse of the Satavahana power, they never had or moved the capital into the old Satavahana states, and might have annexed a part of Chola territory by 250 C.E. And the epithet Tondai remained and their territory also came to be called Thondaimandalam literally meaning the region of Thondaimaan in Tamil. R. Sathainathaier seems to connect the Pallavas with ancient Pulindas, who according him, were identical to the Kurumbas/Kurubas of Tondamandalam.

Famous quotes containing the word claims:
“Before anything else, we need a new age of Enlightenment. Our present political systems must relinquish their claims on truth, justice and freedom and have to replace them with the search for truth, justice, freedom and reason.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. Attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God. I plead not for the suppression of reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies reason.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
