Historical Notes
Note: The succession war between his sons is recorded as the immediate pretext for Malik Kafur's invasion (on behalf of the Delhi Sultanate) into the Pandya kingdom in 1311 CE, which devastated Madurai and effectively ended the Second Pandya Empire's independent power, though the line continued in reduced form afterward.
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.
