The Minavars of Pandyan Kingdom was the allies of the Villavars. The Early Pandya Kingdom had Bow and arrow in their flag but later it was replaced by Fish insignia later. Mahabharatha calls the king of the Pandya Kingdom as Saranga Dwajan meaning Bow flagged king. The Eyinars (archers)had some connection with the Villavars too. Pandyan kingdom had the titles Maran and Eyinan and Enadhi. The Minavars ( kings who were with fish as their logo in the Flag - also called in "Mahabharatha" as Matsya Raja) had some role in the founding of the Pandyan kingdom at Korkai. The Meenavar or Parathava who were descendants of the ancient Pandyan kingdom could be of Villavar stock too Enadhi or Enadi, Eyinan + Adi (ancient archer) a title used in the ancient Pandyan kingdom indicates the Villavar origins.

Famous quotes containing the word kingdom:
“He is a strong man who can hold down his opinion. A man cannot utter two or three sentences, without disclosing to intelligent ears precisely where he stands in life and thought, namely, whether in the kingdom of the senses and the understanding, or, in that of ideas and imagination, in the realm of intuitions and duty.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
