{{Chera Dynasty}}
'''Nedum Cheralathan''' was a [[Chera dynasty|Chera ruler]] of the [[Sangam period|early historic south India]] (c. 1st - 4th century CE), contemporary to the Chola ruler [[Perunarkilli]]. He is the second known Chera ruler from the early Tamil literature, and is praised in the Second Ten of ''[[Pathitrupathu|Pathitruppaththu]]'' (composed by poet Kannanar).<ref name=":7">Zvelebil, Kamil. <nowiki>''</nowiki>The Smile of Murugan: On Tamil Literature of South India<nowiki>''</nowiki>. Leiden: E. J. Brill, 1973. 52-53.</ref> He patronized ''[[Jainism]]'' and [[Buddhism]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jainism and Buddhism|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/2590-2768_bejo_com_044708|access-date=2020-09-13|website=Brill's Encyclopedia of Jainism Online}}</ref>

Nedum Cheralathan succeeded his father ([[Uthiyan Cheralathan]]) and ruled the territory for 58 years (as a crown prince first and then as an absolute ruler).{{sfn|Singh|2008|p=384}} He was a successful ruler with several victories over neighbouring rulers such as the [[Kadamba dynasty|Kadambas]].{{cn|date=October 2015}} He is believed to have won over "seven crowned kings" and thus obtained the status of ''"adhiraja"''. He defeated an enemy on the [[Malabar Coast]] and captured several ''[[Yona|Yavana]]'' traders, later releasing them for ransom.{{sfn|Singh|2008|p=384}}{{sfn|Singh|2008|p=385}} Nedum Cheralathan fought a battle against a [[Chola dynasty|Chola ruler]], an encounter in which both the principal adversaries lost their lives.{{sfn|Singh|2008|p=384}}<ref>Menon, A.
