This king is called Kulottunga from kula + ut-tunga (refer to your Sanskrit dictionary for this).

Kalinga wars: just look into Ganga inscriptions. There was no "Kalinga" at the time, but a very lively little kingdom ruled from Kalinganagara (now Mukhalingam), on whose throne asceneded in 1088 a king called Codaganga Anantavarman, cousin to the deceased Adivarman of Tanjore as much as Kulottunga I. And here, you've got the reason for the Kalinga campaingns: to make sure, the little cousin brother from up north keeps quiet. That's what he didn't. by the way. When he could not succeed in driving Kulottunga out of Madhyama Kalinga (the Visakhapatnam-Elamanchili area), he turned north and founded in 1113 the Ganga empire of Orissa.

Reference Formatting
I participate in WP:REFCHECK and I'll reformat the references according to Wikipedia guidelines. I'll also Cite the references where I can. What I can't do is to clean up or add beyond the existing inline citations, as I don't know the topic and don't have access to the referenced books.

 * I've added:
 * 1. External links section
 * 2. Correctly formatted inline references
 * 3. Citation Templates for Web pages referenced
 * 4. Citation Templates for Books referenced, with links to Google Books.
 * That's as much as I can do for now. Hope it gives you a head start on the document, and shows an example of good referencing. Lantrix  :: Talk :: Contrib :: 05:37, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Father
As far as I know, he never mentions the name of his father in any of his inscriptions. Historians speculate that he was the son of Rajaraja Narendra. I am not sure how, does Rajaraja Narendra mention that this guy is his son? The only thing we can infer from his inscriptions is that the symbol of his former family is the moon/crescent and that Vikkalan(identified w/ Vikramadity Chalukya VI) knew him before he became king. I have removed his father for now as this is a source of confusion. I will come back to this in a bit. Sembiyan (talk) 03:15, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Why is Vikkalan get pissed?
Tell me why Vikkalan taunts him about is former family and dominions ? Why is he getting so pissed ? Sembiyan (talk) 03:17, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Loss of Lanka and Chera Nadus
Kulothunga Chola I's time saw the independence of both Lanka as well as the Chera lands. Taking advange of the reverses that the Chola army faced in Lanka, Rama Varma Kulashekhara attacked the Chola forces and by 1100 AD, the Cholas had retreated to Kottar (source: A survey of Kerala history, by Prof. Sreedhara Menon, S. Viswanathan Printers, 1996). There is no mention about this and therefore the map (which includes both Lanka and the Chera lands) is wrong — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.25.224.145 (talk) 22:27, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
