Aragalurudaiya Ponparappinan Rajarajadevan, alias Magadesan, was the [[Bana Kingdom|Bana]] chief who ruled this region around 1197. There were three important chieftains in this region:<br /> *[[Kadava]] with capitol at Kudalur near [[Cuddalore]] and [[Sendamangalam]]<br /> *[[Malaiyamaan Kaari|Malaiyamaan]] with capitol at [[Tirukkoyilur]] and [[Killiyur, Kanniyakumari|Killiyur]]<br /> *Magadai mandalam with its chief<br /> **Rajarajan<br /> **ponparappina-perumal (Rajarajan&#039;s son)<br /> **vira Magadan Rajarajadevan pon parappinan Magadaipprumal (second chief of Rajarajan)<br /> <br /> Another chief family near Aragalur were the [[Bana Kingdom|Vanakkovaraiyar]]s with headquarters at [[Thedavur]].<br /> <br /> The Magadai Mandalam was at the height of their power during the transition of [[Chola]] dynasty to [[Pandyan]] and [[Hoysala]]. There are a large number of inscriptions about the Magadai chiefs in [[North Arcot|North]] ([[Tiruvannamalai District|Tiruvannamalai]] &amp; [[Vellore District|Vellore]]) and [[South Arcot]]s ([[Cuddalore District|Cuddalore]] and [[Villupuram District|Villupuram]]), [[Chingleput]] and [[Thanjavur district]]s.<br /> <br /> There are [[Buddharupa|Buddha]] idols in the fields and a {{convert|6|ft|m|adj=mid|-tall}} Buddha statue in the temple in Thiyaganur village near Aragalur. There is a possibility that descendants of the [[Gupta Empire|Magadhan Empire]] could have settled in this area on their way south to [[Sri Lanka]].<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *https://web.archive.org/web/20060512123851/http://www.whatisindia.com/inscriptions/south_indian_inscriptions/volume_17/stones_151_to_200.html<br /> <br /> [[Category:Empires and kingdoms of India]]<br /> [[Category:Dynasties of India]]<br /> [[Category:Tamil monarchs]]<br /> [[Category:Pallava kings]]</div>
