What I have termed the Eastern Cera is of interest as being the source of the Coḷa Grantha, and hence of the modern S. Indian Sanskrit alphabet. I have used the term "Eastern Cera" rather to indicate the source from which it was derived, than with reference to the reign of the Ceras over the sea-coast of the North Tamiḷ country, a fact hardly doubtful, though, as yet, not fully supported by the evidence of inscriptions.
