Detailed Solution

The characters of the story of Manimekalai were daughter of Kovalan and Madhavi, Manimekalai and chola prince Udayakumara.
Kulavika Seethalai Sataar most likely penned the Tamil-Buddhist epic Maimkalai, also written as Manimekhalai or Manimekalai, in the sixth century. The first Tamil epic, Silappadikaram's "love saga," is continued in this "anti-love narrative" by some of its original heroes and their progeny. The epic's kaval meter has 4,861 lines. Manimekalai is also used to refer to the daughter of Kovalan and Madhavi, who continues her mother's career as a dancer and Buddhist nun. She appeals to the Chola prince Udayakumara because of her physical and creative attractiveness. He wants her. She is a Mahayana Buddhist nun who feels driven to sever all ties to humanity.
