In the story, Naganandhi Adigal is portrayed as the elder brother of Pulikesi (also known as Pandiyan). The other options (Vajrabahu, Kannabhiran, Kundotharan) are characters from the novel but are not Pulikesi's elder brother.
To answer this question, we need to have knowledge about the historical figure King Pulikesi and his family.
Option A) Vajrabahu - This option is incorrect because there is no historical reference to suggest that Vajrabahu is the elder brother of King Pulikesi.
Option B) Kannabhiran - This option is incorrect because there is no historical reference to suggest that Kannabhiran is the elder brother of King Pulikesi.
Option C) Naganandhi Adigal - This option is correct. Naganandhi Adigal is indeed the elder brother of King Pulikesi. He was an important figure in the Chalukya dynasty and played a significant role in the administration and governance of the kingdom.
