Corroboration for the Tamil Confederacy mentioned by Kharavela

[Christophe Vielle]

The problem remains the location of this karuvUr/karUr.
See K.T. Ravi Varma, On the original home of 
CEras and the wandering Vañci, Kottayam, 1998, 
pp. 103 sq. (at least for the survey of the 
debate about the location).
