Note on vēḷir who migrated 49 generations before Puṟanānūṟu text of Sangam times from Dwāraka

In Tirumoolar's Tirumanthiram, the northern sage "Vaṭapāl Tavamuni" is said to have created the "Fire-pit"; வடபால் முனிவன் is mentioned in Puṟanānūṟu in the context of vēḷir migration from Dwāraka (Sarasvati river basin)

அங்கி உதயம் வளர்க்கும் அகத்தியன்

அங்கி உதயஞ்செய் மேல்பா லவனொடும்

அங்கி உதயஞ்செய் வடபால் தவமுனி

எங்கும் வளங்கொள் இலங்கொளி தானே" (திருமூலர் திருமந்திரம் - 338)

This is a reference to the Veda culture of Civilization of the 2nd millennium BCE when the migration of

vēḷir occurred.

Chief vēḷir was tuvarāpati for 49 generations, notes Puṟanānūṟu a text of Sangam times.

The text is dated to ca. 5th cent.BCE.

Thus, Chief vēḷir (வேளிருள் வேளே!) who was Dwāraka ruler (துவரை ஆண்டு) migrated into velanāḍu (vēḷ region of Andhra Pradesh), ca. 1750 BCE (computing an average of 25 years per generation).
