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.

Sources

  1. Chola and Pandya dynastic inscriptions (primary text)
  2. The Colas (scholarly)
