According to Sangam literature he was a contemporary of Pandya king Talaiyaalam-Kaanattu Seru Vendra Neduncezhian. Purananuru(PN:20,22,32,53 & 229) states that he participated in the battle of Talaiyaalam-Kaanam allied by Chola emperor Killivalavan and five other small rulers including Ezhini, Thithiyan, Irungo Vaenmaan, Porunan and Erumaiyuran . The Pandyan Neduncezhiyan won the battle and the Chera king was taken as a prisoner to Madurai. After his court trial he was locked in a fort inside a bamboo forest surrounded by the crocodile lake. He later escaped from his cell and returned back to his country and continued to rule his loving people in peace, plenty and harmony for many more uninterrupted years( Purananuru-PN:229).
