Patirruppattu

The Patirruppattu is an anthology of classical Tamil poetry, one of the Eight Anthologies of Sangam literature. It originally contained ten sets of ten poems, each praising a Chera king; the first and last sets are lost. It is a main source for the early Chera dynasty, including Imayavaramban Nedunceralatan and Senguttuvan.
