Nalankilli (Tamil: நலங்கிள்ளி; Middle Tamil: Nālankilli Cōḻaṉ; Classical Sanskrit: Nālankilli Cōla; c. 445 BCE[2][6] – c. 380 BCE[4]) was a Tamil King of the Early Cholas of the Chola Dynasty who ruled Tamilakam (modern-day Southern India) and was mentioned in the ancient Sangam Literature. He was the son of Karikala Chola the Great. Nalankilli was mentioned in context with a civil war between him and another Chola king Nedunkilli. The information known about him are from the fragmentary stanzas of the Purananuru and the Buddhist epic Manimekalai.[3]
