Netunceliyan I

Netunceliyan I[a] (Tamil: நெடுஞ்செழியன், r.  c. 270 BCE)) was an early Pandyan king.

He was titled the Āriyappaṭai-kaṭanta Neṭuñceḻiyaṉ, signifying his defeat of the "northern Aryans".

The inscriptions mentions that workers of Neṭuñceḻiyaṉ I, a Pandyan king of the Sangam era, (c. 270 BCE) made stone beds for Jain monks.

[2] Neṭuñceḻiyaṉ was also the king of the Cilappatikaram, the epic authored by the poet Ilango Adigal, who later died of a broken heart along with his queen-consort Kopperundevi.
