Q. During 9th century, Mahodayapuram was capital of which of the following dynasties of South India?
Answer: Chera
Notes: The Chera kingdom of Mahodayapuram was established in the ninth century in the south-western part of the peninsula, part of present-day Kerala. It is likely that Malayalam was spoken in this area. The rulers introduced the Malayalam language and script in their inscriptions. In fact, this is one of the earliest examples of the use of a regional language in official records in the subcontinent. Note: The name of Mahodayapuram is Kodungallur now.
