In which dynasty it will appear?

Pattinappalai Means what?

Thanks to both of you. :)

The story of Karikala is mixed with legend and anecdotal information gleaned from Sangam literature. Karikala has left us no authentic records of his reign. The only sources available to us are the numerous mentions in Sangam poetry. The period covered by the extant literature of the Sangam is unfortunately not easy to determine with any measure of certainty.

Pattinappaalai, Porunaraatruppadai and a number of individual poems in Akananuru and Purananuru have been the main source for the information that is attributed to Karikala.

Pattinappaalai was written by the poet Uruttirangannanar in praise of the Chola king Karikala.
