Identify the Tamil anthology which is devoted to the praise of Chera Kings
Answer: B
The Tamil anthology devoted to the praise of the Chera kings is the Padirruppattu (the Ten Tens). It has ten groups of ten poems, each group praising one Chera king, and it belongs to the Sangam literature.
Narrinai, Aingurunuru and Kuruntogai are also Sangam anthologies, but they are collections of love poems (akam poetry) and not songs in praise of the Chera kings. The Sangam collections are divided into the eight anthologies (Ettuthokai) and the ten idylls, and the Padirruppattu is one of the eight.
