In those ancient days we learn that the kings were aspiring for might and power. Survival of the mightiest was the rule of the day. So,’ it psychologically led them to wage war with their neighbouring kings and establish their supremacy. The geographical position of the Chera and Pandya kingdoms induced them always to take up arms to expand their territories. That the main cause of wars in those days among the Tamil Kings was territorial expansion is noticed very often in the anthologies of the Sangam age. It is therefore proper that Thiruvalluvar assigned primary importance to the military department of the Government army, law and order, wealth, ministry, friendly relations with other kings and defence of the strategic points in the state are the six main departments under the Government of the monarch^. A well-trained and well-equipped army with spirits dauntless and inexorable desire for military glory and fame, was considered to be the foremost of the constituents of the royal wealth.
