    A confederacy of eleven rulers, led by the Chera and Pandya, including several minorvelir chieftains, were defeated at Venni.[2]

    The Chera ruler, named "Cheraman Perum Cheralathan", was wounded on the back while leading the warriors (pierced by a shaft). Not being able to bear the disgrace, he committed suicide by slow starvation ("Sitting by Facing the North"). It is said that some of his companions also committed suicide unwilling to part with him.[2]
