One of the two protagonists of the story after whom the novel was named. The youngest son of Sundara Chola. He was raised in Pazhayarai by Sembiyan Madevi and Kundavai. He was taught well by his sister and she sent him to Sri Lanka at the age of 19 for battle. He was said to be saved by the Mother Kaveri herself from drowning in the river when he was 5.

He was beloved by all the people and soldiers of the Chozha kingdom and even in Sri Lanka due to his religious tolerance, good behavior towards all the people and his facial attraction
