Other Claims
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:
“A building is akin to dogma; it is insolent, like dogma. Whether or no it is permanent, it claims permanence, like a dogma. People ask why we have no typical architecture of the modern world, like impressionism in painting. Surely it is obviously because we have not enough dogmas; we cannot bear to see anything in the sky that is solid and enduring, anything in the sky that does not change like the clouds of the sky.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“It is not God that is worshipped but the group or authority that claims to speak in His name. Sin becomes disobedience to authority not violation of integrity.”
—Sarvepalli, Sir Radhakrishnan (1888–1975)
