Early Pandyan Government
The Early Pandyas were one of the dynasties that ruled the ancient Tamil country from the pre-Christian era to about 200 CE. Most of the information about the administration and government under the early Pandyas comes to use through Sangam literature.
== The King and his court ==
The head of the Government was the king, a hereditary monarch, who ruled with unaided discretion. The ascension to the throne was normally hereditary, sometimes through usurpation and occasionally based on unusual methods of choosing a king such as sending out the royal elephant to select a person of its choice by garlanding them. The king could be crowned at any age and reigned as long as he chose to or lived. He was highly revered by his subjects and was even equated to God. The king, in turn, had onerous duties towards his subjects and was held responsible for any misfortune that befell them. The dynastic emblem of the Pandyas was the double carp, which was used for all official purposes of royal authentication. Coins issued by the kings, seals on letters as well as exported and imported cargo stocked in the ware houses at ports bore this emblem.
The king’s court consisted of royal officers like the ministers, generals, commanders and accountants. His power was restricted by the ''Aimberunguzhu'' (Tamil: ஐம்பெருங்குழு) or the Five Great Assemblies. They consisted of the representatives of the people, priests, physicians, astrologers and the ministers. The council of representatives (''Maasanam'', Tamil: மாசனம்) safeguarded the rights and privileges of the people; the priests (''Paarpar'', Tamil: பார்ப்பார்) directed all religious ceremonies; the physicians (''Maruthar'', Tamil: மருத்தர்) attended to all matters affecting the health of the king and his subjects; the astrologers (''Nimithar'', Tamil: நிமித்தர்) fixed auspicious times for public ceremonies and predicted important events; the ministers (''Amaichar'', Tamil: அமைச்சர்) attended to the collection of revenue and expenditure and also the administration of justice. There was another assembly of officials that served the king called the ''Enberaayam'' (Tamil: எண்பேராயம்) or the Eight Groups of Attendants. While some scholars believe it consisted of attendants on the king’s person〔 like the perfumers, dressing valets, etc., others believe it consisted of more important persons like the people of the capital city, the leaders of the elephant corps and of the cavalry. The principal officers of State were the high priest, the chief astrologer, the ministers and the commanders of the army.
