    C)  Sakti              

    D)  Kartikeya

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

A number of mythical heroes and demi-gods found their place in the ancestry claimed by the later Cholas in the long mythical genealogies incorporated into the copper-plate charters and stone inscription of the tenth and eleventh centuries. The earliest version of this is found in the Anbil Plates which gives fifteen names before Vijayalaya Chola including the genuinely historical ones of Karikala, Perunarikalli and Kocengannan.
