According to epigraphist S. Ramachandran it was Nedunchezhian, who is referred to in Purananuru as ''Ariya padai kadanda Nedunchezhian'' and Ariya referred to Kharvela. Kharavela’s army have marched up to Madurai. Nedunchezhian managed the crisis, gave many gifts to Kharavela, and averted the threat to his throne. The Brahmi inscription in Mangulam, mentions a Pandya King called Nedunchezhian. The inscription is dated to 2nd century BCE.
