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:
“Let me live onward; you shall find that, though slower, the progress of my character will liquidate all these debts without injustice to higher claims. If a man should dedicate himself to the payment of notes, would not this be an injustice? Does he owe no debt but money? And are all claims on him to be postponed to a landlord’s or a banker’s?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Though an unpleasant sort of person, and even a queer threatener withal, yet, if one meets him, one must get along with him as one can; for his ignorance is extreme. And what under heaven indeed should such a phantasm as Death know, for all that the Appearance tacitly claims to be somebody that knows much?”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
