| The '''Third Sangam''' ([[Tamil language|Tamil]]: மூன்றாம் சங்கம், ''Moondram Sangam'') ([[Malayalam language|Malayalam]]: മൂന്നാം സംഘം, ''Moonnam Sangam'') or the Third Academy, also known as the '''Madurai College of Antiquity''',{{sfn|Robinson, 2001|p=20}} was a historical assembly and the last of the three [[Tamil Sangams]]. Established under the aegis of 49 [[Pandyan dynasty|Pandyan kings]] with 449 participating poets, it ran for 1850 years, ending around the time that [[Christianity]] emerged. All surviving [[Sangam literature]] comes from this particular Sangam.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/briefhistoryofin00dani|url-access=registration|page=[https://archive.org/details/briefhistoryofin00dani/page/37 37]|title=A Brief History of India|last=Daniélou|first=Alain|date=2003-02-11|publisher=Inner Traditions / Bear & Co|isbn=9781594777943|language=en}}</ref> The seat of the Third Sangam was the city of [[Madurai]].<ref>{{cite book
