The Medieval Chola Empire traced their ancestry to the ancient Tamil King, Karikala, making him the dynasty's ancestral father. [2]
The ascension of Kulothunga Chola marks the first time after Vijayalaya Chola that a person from the dynasty's maternal lineage ascended the Chola throne.

However, no evidentiary basis supports this list of Kings either by way of inscriptions or by way of literary evidence (even in Sangam literature).
