The origin of the first Pallava King is believed to be<br />

from a liaison between the daughter of a Naga king of<br />

Manipallava named Pilli Valai (Pilivalai) with a Chola<br />

king, Killivalavan, out of which union was born a prince,<br />

who was lost in a ship wreck and found with a twig<br />

(pallava) of Cephalandra Indica (Tondai) around his ankle<br />

and hence named Tondai-man.<br />
