The Pallava kings were well learned and highly cultured, tall, well built and possessed all the dignified characteristics of royalty. For example we have in Mahedravarman an author of Sanskrit plays, a great musician and an all round artist. In addition, we come to know from Mattavil膩sa Prahasana that he had profound knowledge about Hindu laws, Indian Philosophy and Literatue.

For instance in one place [he advises the following, through the character 碍腻辫腻濒颈办补]:

鈥�pratyak峁�e hetuvacanam nirarthakam鈥�
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.51

And his moral advise [like the following, through the character 艢腻办测补产丑颈办峁�u]:

鈥�adatt膩d膩n膩dvirama峁嘺m muni艣ik峁Ｄ乸adam鈥�
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.51.

In the prologue, 厂奴迟谤补诲丑腻谤补 talks about the high quality of Mahendravarman.

He was the head of the Pallava race and had defeated many kings by his own strength:

艣atru峁�a岣峷arga nigrahapara岣�
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.37.

He was compared to Indra and was superior to Kubera in his generosity.

The Pallava court was adorned with ministers, priests and poets. There was a secretariat, treasury, private secretary of the king to solve the problems of the state and to support the king. The king was known for his good governance. The great poets like 叠丑腻谤补惫墨, 顿补峁囜笉颈苍 adorned the court. The state was and guarded by their army and naval forces.

All four sections of people like Brahmin, 碍峁�a迟谤颈测补, 痴补颈艣测补 and 艢奴诲谤补蝉 were living harmoniously in the state. The Brahmins were higher and respected people. They were learned, well-versed in all the 艢腻蝉迟谤补蝉 and intelligent. They were gods of the earth.

In art and architecture, Pallavas were very rich. In the period of Mahendravarman, the temple architecture and rock-cutting were developed tremendously. The people like spinners, weavers, potters, cattle-breeders, goldsmiths, carpenters, owners of oil presses, wholesale merchants of various articles, farmers were carrying out their respective business. Mahendravarman used to have great respect for all types of religion. He himself was a Jain by birth, but at the end, he embraced Shaivism and became a Hindu. In his period, the Buddhist religion also spread vastly, because the play Mattavil膩sa describes about the two religions, i.e. Buddhism and Shaivism. The state gave freedom for its citizens to practise any religion. The Buddists were corrupt.

They were engaged in anti religious worksand were prone to be attracted towards women:

  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.46

They also drank wine and ate meat.

They were living in 搁腻箩补惫颈丑腻谤补蝉:

尘补测腻产丑颈尘补迟补惫补谤峁嘺驳补苍诲丑补谤补蝉辞 尘补迟蝉测补尘腻峁僺补 辫谤补办腻谤补产补丑耻濒辞鈥檡补尘 辫颈峁囜笉补辫腻迟补岣� sam膩s膩dita岣�, y膩vadid膩n墨m r膩javih膩rameva gacch膩mi
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.43).

The 艢补颈惫补蝉 were living in the 艢补颈惫补 temples, worshipping lord 艢颈惫补:

补测补尘别办腻尘谤补惫腻蝉墨 诲耻峁ａ弓补 办腻辫腻濒颈办补岣�
  鈥揗attavil膩sa Mattavil膩sa, Unni, p.45.

They loved their god and remembered him every moment.

In Mattavil膩sa, when 碍腻辫腻濒颈 losses his begging bowls, he calls 艢颈惫补 as:

鈥�m膩he艣var膩! m膩he艣var膩! asmad墨yam bhik峁Ｄ乥h膩janamiha bhavadbhi岣� kim d峁涐梗峁璦m鈥�
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.43.

The 产丑颈办峁�u蝉 were living with alms, begging door to door:

bhavati 产丑颈办峁Ｄ乵 dehi
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.42.

The people at that time had only minimum requirement.

They knew that pain brings pleasure in their life if they faced them courageously:

du岣�khsya k膩ryam 蝉耻办丑补尘腻尘补苍补苍迟补岣�
  鈥搗erse.8.

The people were living in the houses of mud-walls and thatched roofsand in the mansions made of bricks and tiles, but structures of a permanent kind were considered a luxury:

ahonuhkalu vim膩na艣ikhara鈥︹�︹��k膩帽cipurasya 辫补谤腻 惫颈产丑奴迟颈岣�
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.41.

The villages and towns were constructed with well planned lay outs and facilities of water and road.

The judicial court situated in 碍腻帽肠墨 was known as 补诲丑颈办补谤补峁嘺. The people used to respect the judicial system:

n膩yam vyavah膩ro 尘补测腻 paricchettum 艣akyate, tad补诲丑颈办补谤补峁嘺meva y膩sy膩ma岣�
鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.54).

The people following right path never fear judicial system:

k峁泃amanena, kuta艣cidapi ny膩yyav峁泃terbhayam 苍腻蝉迟颈
  鈥揗attavil膩sa, Unni, p.54.

The people used to have faith on Dharma and usually avoided sins, which need to be expiated:

尘补丑腻苍迟颈 产丑奴迟腻苍颈 辫谤腻测补艣肠颈迟迟补颈谤补辫补苍墨迟补办补濒尘补峁Ｄ佱箛颈 bhavanti
