Unity treaty

Imayavaramban Neduncheralathan, Karungai Olvat Perumvazhuthi, and Deva Pandian signed a joint declaration of unity that lasted for 113 years. This treaty served to protect Tamil lands from northern invaders. During the final years of this pact, the Chozha Emperor Karikalan II’s court poet, Mudathamakanniyar, wrote Porunaratrupadai . She recorded the scene of three Tamil emperors sharing the same dais. Poet Kumattor Kannanar, who wrote the second ten in Pathitru Pathu, witnessed another historic meeting of these three Tamil emperors. Later in 42 BC, the poet Avvaiyar also witnessed three Tamil emperors together. This unity among Tamils did not last, however.
