Which of the following Chola monarchs initiated the practice of prefixing historical introduction ('Meikeyyortti') to their royal inscriptions, detailing their military conquests?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Rajaraja I initiated the tradition of prefixing historical introductions known as Meikeyyortti to Chola inscriptions, which systematically recorded the ruler's lineage, victories, and administrative achievements. Later Chola monarchs expanded upon this practice to document their military campaigns. Imperial Chola administration and epigraphy are core areas in medieval South Indian history.
