A.D. 200. [Conjectural date for the accession of the Chōḷa King Peruṇarkiḷḷi II, whose relationship to his predecessors is not known; and also for that of the Chēra King Śey or Yānaikkaṭ-Śey. There was war between these kings. And King Śey also fought against the Pāṇḍya King Neḍuñjeḷian II who, at the battle of Talai-Ālaṅgānan, captured King Śey and held him prisoner. Opinions differ as to the date of this battle and of these kings' reigns. Dr. Barnett places it in A.D. 125. Prof. Krishnaswami Aiyangar, I understand, in about A.D. 300, I claim no superior knowledge.
