Naidatham
The Naidatham is a 16th-century Tamil poem by the Pandya king Ativira Rama Pandya of Tenkasi. Based on the Sanskrit Naishadhiya Charita of Sriharsha, it retells the story of Nala and Damayanti from the Mahabharata. It is regarded as one of the finest works of late medieval Tamil literature.
