In this Unit we will look at three significant dynasties from the region viz. the Pallavas, Pandyas and Kalachuris in some detail. Ancient Tamil region was denoted by the term Tamilakam or Tamilaham which can be identified with present-day Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry, Lakshadweep and southern parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. Dominant Tamil kingdoms of the region were Cholas, Cheras and Pandyas during the Sangam age which roughly spans from 300 BCE to 300 CE.

These changes, both in the Gupta and the post-Gupta periods, mark the beginning of a new period in Indian history. Historians have come to think that the ancient phase of Indian history has come to an end now and the period, approximately between the sixth century and the eighth century, may be considered to mark the beginning of the early medieval phase. This was not simply a matter of change from one ruling family to another or even a change from an imperial power like the Guptas to the rise of comparatively insignificant local states.

His influence on later writers not only in Sanskrit but in Prakrit and other Indian languages also has been remarkable and his genius as a prose- writer is comparable to that of Kalidasa as a dramatist and poet. A short account of Bana’s life and works is provided here through a series of chosen extracts in English translation illustrating the major aspects of the author’s art. An analysis and criticism of each of Bana’s works has been attempted. An estimate of Bana’s great contribution to our classical literature has been provided against a background of Indian literary theory.
