Abstract

According to the statement of the great poet Bharathi that there is nothing as sweet as the Tamil language, the ‘Tamil language’ is overflowing with literature. In all the literature from the Sangam period to modern literature, the way of life of man has been described. The norms that he should follow have also been mentioned. Among the three dynasties that ruled the south during that period, there is a lot of data about the Cholas. Rajaraja, who came from the lineage of Sibi Chakravarthy, who cut his flesh for a pigeon, and Manuneethi Chola, who gave justice to a cow, ruled without compromising on justice. He lived with religious tolerance from a young age. During the reign of Uncle, he traveled all over the Chola country and heard the grievances of the people firsthand. After assuming power, he understood the needs of the people and fulfilled them. He interacted with warriors on friendly terms. He respected foreign warriors. He avoided anger while talking to officials. He did good to all living beings living in the Chola country. He paid more attention to worship. This article examines the qualities of Rajaraja, the grace he showed to the people, the respect he had for his guru, and his hospitality.
