Pahruli

Pahruli (Tamil:பஃறுளி, Pahruli) is the ancient river located in sunken landmass of Kumari Kandam which is referred to in Tamil literature. The Silappadhikaram, one of the Five Great Epics of Tamil Literature written in first few centuries CE, states that the "cruel sea" took the Pandiyan land that lay between the rivers Pahruli and the mountainous banks of the Kumari, to replace which the Pandiyan king conquered lands belonging to the Chola and Chera kings (Maturaikkandam, verses 17-22).
