Kadungon was a Pandya king who revived the Pandya rule in South India in the 6th century CE. Along with the Pallava king Simhavishnu, he is credited with ending the Kalabhra rule, marking the beginning of a new era in the Tamil speaking region.[1]
Kadungon's title was "Pandyadhiraja",[2] and his capital was Madurai. He was succeeded by his son Maravarman Avanisulamani.[3]
