Historical Notes
Note: His reign marks the effective end of the medieval Chola dynasty as an independent power, per the inscriptional record of Chola territory passing to Pandya control.
Note: Specific claims naming his father have been reviewed and not adopted here pending stronger confirmation; left unrecorded rather than guessed.
This article records a figure from the medieval Chola and Pandya dynasties of Tamilakam (9th-14th century CE), reconstructed primarily from temple and copper-plate inscriptions rather than a single continuous chronicle. Where a genealogical claim could not be confirmed against reliable inscriptional or scholarly sources, it has been left unrecorded rather than guessed, as noted in the individual entries.
