Historical Notes
Note: Kept in a separate family from the 'Second Pandya Empire' rulers below: Kadungon's revival (~590 CE) is roughly 600 years earlier than the empire's 13th-century resurgence under Maravarman Kulasekara I and successors. An earlier version of this file placed him in the same family as those later rulers, which was a chronological error now corrected.
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.
