I have written, based on Chinnamanur Plates that Pandya kings were following Sanatana Dharma,in fact all the Tamil Kings were followers of Sanatana Dharma ,and a Pandyan had performed Aswamedha Yaaga.This Pandyan King was so powerful that Ravana of Sri Lanka entered into a Peace Treaty with him, so that the Pandya king would not destroy the Moolasainya,Reserve Forces

This Pandyan King possessed Brahmasiras Astra which is a counter to Brahmastra.

Brahmastra leaves destruction all around, including the environment.

How to chant the Brahmastra Mantra, I have explained in one of my earlier posts .

How the Mantras affect weather, bring rainfall, produce heat, change thoughts in human minds around us, control animals and birds are explained thus,

“It contains air, fire and cosmic poison, two goat-like fangs, full of poison, weighty, emits air, contains mercury, fiery, sparkling, sky is filled with air, enemy killing greatly radiant and it is projected with three hymn, Gayatri at its centre, it is known as brahmastra”(Ahirbudhnya Samhita of the Pancharatra Agama volume1)

The counter Astra to Brahmastra is  called the BrahmaSirōnāmāstra, which was never used in war, as it had power equivalent to (Brahmāstra),representing 4 heads of Brahma and in Mahabharata war, it was known only to Dronacharya, Aswatthama, Arjuna and Karna. https://ramanisblog.in/2015/03/26/brahmasironamastra-counter-to-brahmastra-the-nuclear-weapon/

This information, along with what is found in the Chinnamanur Plates is confirmed by Kalidasa in his Raghuvamsa,which details the dynasty of Raghu, ancestor of Sri Rama.

Ramas grandmother was Indumathi. ( This information is from Balakanda of Sri Ramayana) This information is confirmed in Kalidasa’ s Raghuvamsa.The chaperone of Indhumathi, during Indumathi’s Swayamvara , while introducing the Kings , refers to Pandya King and Sage Agastya. She says that Agastya, while performing Aswamedha Yaaga, asked the Pandya king if he had finished his Ritual bath after the Yaaga. I have highlighted the text in the references below.

The three kings of South India had close contacts with the kings of Lanka.

To such an antiquity that Ravana, who was engaged in stirring trouble in the Pandya Kingdom.

He was reported to have been checked by a Pandya King and Ravana sued for Peace.

This has been found in the Chinnamanur inscriptions, Tamil Nadu.

“The Sanskrit portion of the bigger Sinnamanur plates begins with a fragmentary verse in which the king (perhaps Pandya) boasts of having subdued the ocean — an attribute which the mythical Pandya kings generally assumed in consequence, perhaps, of their sea-bordering kingdom, their naval power, and their sea-borne trade, from the earliest historical times. From him were descended the kings known as Pandyas (v. 2) ‘who engraved their edicts on the Himalaya mountain’ and whose family-priest was the sage Agastya (v. 3). One of the Pandya kings is said to have occupied the throne of Indra (v. 4) and another to have shared it with that god, and still another, to have caused the Ten-Headed (i.e., Ravana of Lanka) to sue for peace (v. 5). One was a conqueror of the epic hero Arjuna       Verse 8 refers to a king who cut off his own head in order to protect that of his master and also to a certain Sundara-Pandya who had mastered all the sciences. Many kings of this family had performed Vedic sacrifices Rajasuya and Asvamedha (v. 9).” Source. Ramanisblog
