Explanation of Name
According to Sujit Mukherjee the saint king appears to have been a Pallava King, Simma Varman (c. 550–575).[1] The Encyclopedia of Saivism [2] identifies the term Kadavar with Pallava dynasty and the Tamil term kon as king lived in mullai region.
Kadava was the name of a Tamil ruling dynasty who ruled parts of the Tamil country during the thirteenth and the fourteenth century.[1][2] Kadavas were related to the Pallava dynasty and ruled from Kudalur near Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu. Hiranyavarman, the father of Nandivarman II Pallavamalla is said to have belonged to the Kadavakula in epigraphs.[3] Nandivarman II himself is described as "one who was born to raise the prestige of the Kadava family".[4] Chiefs bearing the Kadava title figure as feudatories of the Cholas as early as the 12th century. During the reign of Kulothunga Chola II, there was a vassal called Alappirandan Elisaimohan alias Kulottungasola Kadavaradittan.[5] The Kadava kingdom was at the height of their power briefly during the reigns of Kopperunchinga I and Kopperunchinga II. These two rulers were powerful enough to challenge the waning Chola dynasty during the reign of Rajaraja Chola III and Rajendra Chola III. The two Kopperunchingas have left a large number of inscriptions mostly in the North and South Arcot districts and in the Chengalpattu district.
