According to Mayil Vakanar, Yalpana Nayanar also known as Viraraghavan was a blind Brahmana but a minister of Chola Kingdom. Being blind, he was fully dependent of his wife. One day he quarreled with his wife and went to Sri Lanka. The king of Sri Lanka being pleased with his poetry granted the uninhabited land of modern Jaffna. He invited a Chola prince who was the natural son of a Chola king by a Brahmana woman and installed him as the king of his land under the title of Singhariya Chakravarty. This event took place in the Kali year 3000 (162 BCE or 102 BCE). Thus, Yalpana or Jaffna kingdom came into existence.

Tamil kings of Yalpana or Jaffna dominated in Sri Lanka during the period 795-1200 CE. During this period, the descendants of Parakramabahu (642-680 CE) established their kingdom in Kandy. Yalpana Vaipava Malai indicates that Bhuvanaika Bahu (Puvaneya Vaku), the king of Kandy was the contemporary of Yalpana king Jayavira Singkai Ariyan (1302-1380 CE). Parakramabahu and Vijayabahu were the successors of Bhuvanaika Bahu in Kandy.
