Pallavaraiyan was a title used by various officials in the medieval Chola and Pandya governments in present-day India. It was borne by persons from different communities like Bhoja, Chalukya, etc. and does not imply a relation to the erstwhile Pallava dynasty. [1]
For example, there is a Perundaram (high dignitary), Irayiravan Pallavarayan, who bore the titles Mummudisola-Posan and Uttama Chola Pallavaraiyan at different times. [1] This officer belonged to the family of Bhoja. [2] Usually the Pallavaraiyan title was assumed by various officials along with the surname of the king like Arumori-Pallavaraiyan, Uttama Chola-Pallavaraiyan, SundaraPandya-Pallavaraiyan, etc. [3] [4] [5] Also the Pallavarayar rulers of Pudukkottai belongs to Kallar (caste) lineage. [6]
There are also instances where persons from the Chalukya family held this title. For example, during the reign of Vikrama Chola, there is mention of an official called Tirumambalam-Surri alias Munaiyadaraiya-Pallavaraiyan described as a Chalukki of Tondaimandalam and a resident of Anaiveri in Virudarajabhayankara valanadu.
