Irunkōvēl
Irunkōvēl also ''Irungkōvēl'', ''Irukkuvēl'', ''Ilangōvēlar'' was a title of the Irunkōvēl line of Tamil Velir kings. The Irunkovel line of kings ruled over ''Kō nādu'' identified with the Kodumbalur and surrounding areas in ancient Tamilakkam.〔''Epigraphia Indica, Volume 12, page 122"〕 They trace their lineage to the clan of Lord Krishna; one of the inscriptions at Kodumbalur belonging to one of the Kings in the Irunkovel line, namely ''Tennavan Irunkōvēl'', declares that he belonged to the race of Krishna.〔
==The contemporary of Karikala==
The most famous among them was a contemporary of Karikala Chola as well as poet Kapilar and lived during the Sangam era.〔''Historical heritage of the Tamils, page 287''〕 In addition, this particular Irunkōvēl also bore the title ''Pulikadimal'', literally meaning ''the hero who destroyed the tiger'' or ''tiger slayer'' in reference to a hunting expedition when he breaks away from the party while being pursued by a tiger but in the end kills it.〔''Journal of Indian history, Volume 42, page 883〕 He proudly traces his lineage back by 49 preceding generations without a break to one of the kings of ancient Dvārakā.〔''Pivot politics: changing cultural identities in early state formation processes, page 165''〕 He is later defeated by Karikala and becomes a subordinate to the Chola sovereign.〔''Studies in Indian epigraphy, Volume 32, page 58''〕
It has been recorded that one Irunkōvēl was present at the coronation of a Karikala Chola after giving him some earth for the ceremony.〔''Pivot politics: changing cultural identities in early state formation processes, page 66''〕
