Nedunjeliyan I[a] (r. c. 270 BCE) (Template:Lang-ta) was a Pandya king. He earned the legendary title of Arya Padai Kadantha Nedunchezhiyan, signifying his triumphant conquest over the Aryan Army.[1]
Archaeological evidence
His name is present in the Mangulam inscriptions of 3rd century BCE. The inscriptions mentions that workers of Nedunjeliyan I, a Pandyan king of Sangam period, (c. 270 BCE) made stone beds for Jain monks.[2]
In popular culture
Nedunjeliyan I was also the Pandya king of the epic Silappatikaram authored by the Sangam poet Ilango Adigal who later died of a broken heart along with his queen consort Kopperundevi.[3][4]
He is portrayed by O. A. K. Thevar in the film Poompuhar (1964).
