Correct Answer: Chola     


Solution : Correct Answer is Chola

Known as 'the Just King'. Elalan is a Tamil name that translates to "the one who rules the Ellai (boundary)." Elara is a unique figure in Sri Lankan history, with special resonance given the country's ongoing ethnic strife. Despite his status as an invader, he is widely regarded as one of Sri Lanka's wisest and most moral rulers, as documented in the ancient Sinhalese chronicle Mahavamsa.
Elara, also known as Manu Needhi Cholan, was a Chola monarch from present-day South India who ruled over Sri Lanka from the ancient city of Anuradhapura from 205 BC to 161 BC.
