Among the Sangam poets, who were two groups of poets deserve attention (a) those who hailed from Karur and (b) those who sang Karuvur and the ruling Chera. A large number of poets have hailed from Karuvur and their poems are seen in Kuruntokai, Ahananuru, Narrinai, and Purananuru. The following are the poets.
Another point of great interest is that all of them took the title Karuvur and none claimed Vanci, though they themselves sang Vanci.
