Written in five volumes, this narrates the story of Arulmozhivarman (later crowned as Rajaraja Chola I), one of the kings of the Chola Dynasty during the 10th and 11th centuries.
Kalki finished the novel after nearly three and a half years of writing and he visited Sri Lanka three times to gather information for the novel.
Ponniyin Selvan was the sobriquet given to Arulmozhi varman.
Ponni was another name for the Kaveri and Arulmozhi was the darling of the Kaveri as in Ponniyin Selvan to all his people.
The original title of Arulmozhithevan was Raja Raja Cholan.
He was the second son of the Parantaka Chola II alias Sundara Chola and Queen Vaanamaadevi.
Raja Raja Cholan had an elder sister, Kundavai and an elder brother, Aditya Karikalan.
He had a high regard for his sister, who spent her later life in Thanjavur with her younger brother, and named his first daughter after her.
