Uthiyan Cheralathan: The Earliest Known Chera King of Sangam Memory
His royal name itself carries meaning. Uthiyan or Udiyan appears to be his personal or dynastic name, while Cheralathan marks him as a Chera ruler. He also bore the title Vanavaramban, which has been interpreted as “one whose kingdom is bounded by the sky” or, in another reading, “one whose boundary is the sea.” Sesha Aiyar connects this title with the idea of a wide territory, maritime power and conquests, rather than treating it as a casual ornament.
