THE REFRESHING DRINKING WATER. The Chozha king wanted to visit Soma Sundareswaran frequently without any fear or danger. He started sending costly gifts to Paandiya king Rajendran in order to befriend him. Rajendra Paandian also returned his favor by sending costly gifts. Marriages could seal the friendship between Kings and countries. Chozha King wanted to marry his daughter to Rajendra Paandian. Rajasimman-the younger brother of Rajendran-went in person to the Chozha kingdom and impressed the Chozha king favorably. He married to the king’s daughter. Now the Chozha king wanted to crown his son in law as the new Paandiya king! He set out with a huge army to battle with Paandiyan. Rajendran was shocked at the sudden developments.He prayed to Siva to handle the delicate situation. Siva assured the king through asareeri that the victory would be Rajenda Paandian’s and the Chozha army would be defeated. The next morning Rajendra Paandian did his puja and went to the battle field.The Chozha army could be compared to an ocean while the Paandian army could be compared to a river. By Lord’s grace each Paandia soldier appeared as many soldiers to the enemy’s eyes.The battle went on for a long time. The scorching sun dehydrated both the armies. Suddenly a pandal appeared on the Paandian’s side. A handsome man started distributing cool refreshing drinking water to the Paandiya soldiers.With their thirst quenched they felt refreshed and attacked he Chozha army with renewed vigor. The Chola army became weak and tired and were easily defeated by the smaller Paandian army. The Chozha king and Rajasimman were arrested and brought to Rajendran. He asked the lord,” How am I supposed to deal with those two?” Siva replied “In the way you deem fit since you know all the dharma saathrass!” Rajendran offered chaturanga sena and ornaments to the Chozha king and sent him back safely. He divided his kingdom into two and made Rajasimman the king of one of those two countries. *வாழிய செந்தமிழ்! வாழ்க நற்றமிழர்!* *வாழிய பாரதமணித் திருநாடு!* * V A N A K K A M S U B B U * [image: 3O6k-22bMrfxa6KVyJo1XNnBXcYknGAeTH_b5hjMJTy61R3TV0Xf9oJbzqGnmFkn.gif] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
