The Cholas were looked upon as descended from the sun. These myths speak of a Chola king, supposed contemporary of the sage Agastya, whose devotion brought the river Kavery into existence. There is also the story of the king ManuNeedhi Cholan who sentenced his son to death for having accidentally killed a calf. King Sibi Chakravarthi who rescued a dove from a hawk by giving his own flesh to the hungry hawk was also part of the early Chola legends. King Sibi was also called Sembiyan, a popular title assumed by a number of Chola kings.
