 The above (988 AD) event is sometimes assumed to be identical with the "conquest of Vizhinjam by a general of Rajaraja", before the burning of Lanka, given in the Tiruvalangadu Grant/Plates.The Brahmin warriors of the salai at Kandalur are sometimes compared to the arms-bearing military monks of medieval Europe.The phrase "Kandalur salai kalamarutta" is again used as a title with distinction of three other Chola kings also (Rajendra, Rajadhiraja and Kulottunga).
