c5.2
IN recent years there has been a considerable accession of fresh material for the study of South Indian History in general, and of the Pāndyan kings in particular. But no attempt has been made till now to narrate the history of the Pāndyas in a continuous sketch and on scientific lines.¹ The period to be covered in this book ranges over several centuries and at every step we come across difficult questions that could be answered, if at all, only by a careful balancing of several rival points of view. The treatment of the subject must consequently be selective and such as to avoid fruitless controversy.
