other medieval writers, such as ilampuranar and perasiriyar, also make stray references to the loss of antediluvian lands to the south of kanyakumari, in their commentaries on ancient texts like "tolkappiyam". another legend about the loss of pandyan territory to the sea is found in scattered verses of "purananuru" (dated between 1st century bce and 5th century ce) and "kaliththokai" (6th-7th century ce). according to this account, the pandyan king compensated the loss of his land by seizing an equivalent amount of land from the neighboring kingdoms of cheras and cholas.
