This Tamil Language inscription was found in China. It was found about 500 miles north of Canton, in a place called Chuan Chou. This is a port city. It was an important port city in the ancient times also.
A stone slab having a Tamil inscription, clearly in the alphabet of the Chola times, was found in Trincomalee( Srilanka/Eelam) while digging for cricket stadium construction work in 2010. The land where it was found is a part of the esplanade, on the right side of the Koa’neasvaram Road leading to the Siva temple inside Fort Frederick and is adjacent to the bay where the temple’s Theerththam (water cutting) ritual is held. Sometimes back, a Buddhist Vihara and another structure called Sanghamitta Buddhist Rest were constructed at this place.
