Puhalendi, a poet of Sangam era and the contemporary of Ottakuttan & Kamban, records that the Chola kingdom was extended from sea to the east, the overflowing Vellar River to the south, Kottakarai to the west and Elam to the north covering 24 Kavatams. Seemingly, Elam was situated between Tamilnadu and Sri Lanka in the north side of Nalasetu or Ramasetu.
