Kochchadaiyan, known as Ranadhira, (Tamil: கோச்சடையான் ரணதீரன்)(r. c. 700 – 730 AD) was a Pandya king of early medieval south India. He was the son and successor of Arikesari Maravarman (r. c. 640 – 690 CE).^[2]^[3] The name of the king is famously omitted in the Tamil portion of the Larger Sinnamanur Plates.^[4]

Chadaiyan extended the Pandya influence into the Kongu country.^[3] The result this foray does not appear to have been permanent as the Kongu country is said to have been conquered by his successor also.^[4] He also suppressed a revolt in the Ay country (Trivandrum-Tirunelveli). The Ay chieftain Ay Vel was defeated in the battle of Marudur (Tiruppudaimarudur, Ambarasamudram) and had to acknowledge the Pandya supremacy.^[3] He is also said to have attacked and defeated the "Maharathas" in the city of Mangalapuram (modern Mangalore).^[4]

Chadaiyan is given the titles "Vanavan", "Chembiyan" and "Chola" which seem to claim supremacy over the Chera and Chola countries.refer kochadaiiyaan ovie (2014)^[4]
