Pallavaraiyan
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, 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]
