Nedunjeliyan I


Nedunjcheliyan I was a Pandya king. He has been given with the title Aariya Padai kadantha Nedunjezhiya Pandiyan. Nedunjcheliyan I was also the Pandya king of the epic Silappatikaram who later died of a broken heart along with his queen consort Kopperundevi.
His name is present in the Mangulam inscriptions of 3rd century BCE. The dating of 180 CE of his reign is thus wrong and is misconstrued for Nendunjcezhiyan II.
