It is now known only from about 100 verses, which are often very good poetry, cited by different writers, but its authorship cannot be traced. The \*Tagaḍūr-Yāttirai\* is another lost work of the age, which is likewise only known from stray citations. Its theme was the war between the Chera monarch and Adigaimān of Tagaḍūr which took place relatively late in the Śangam Age. - [Previous: c19.s2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2.14) - [Next: c19.s2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2.16) - [Up: c19.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2) ## Linked texts (1) - [Muttoḷḷāyiram](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vernacular.tamil.court.muttollayiram) — Tamil --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c19.s2.15) · Pramāṇa
