Kallithogai

Kallithogai (Tamil: கலித்தொகை) which is the 6th book from Ettuthogai (Tamil: எட்டுத்தொகை) written before Silapathikaram, from the Sangam Literature has a part that speaks of the Pandyan who conquered the ‘newly arisen Himalayas’ when his ancient land of the Kumari mountains and the Pahruli river were taken by the sea. This is the reference to the Kumari Kandam indicating that a giant tsunami had sunken it. (We shall deeper into the Kallithogai)
