'Last Seven Patrons').[2] Politically he aligned with the Cholas and fought against the Cheras and Malaiyaman Thirumudi Kari.[3] Legend claims that he was defeated and killed by Kari of the beautiful spear, the lord of Mullur, who then gave Kolli hills to the Cheras.[4] Kari was later killed by the Chola king Killivalavan.[5]
