Wassaf's accounts which refer to Kulasekaran as "Kales Dewar" say he ruled for "forty and odd" years and "during which time neither any foreign enemy entered his country, nor any severe malady confined him to bed." and "treasury of the city of Mardi" (Madurai) had "1,200 crores of gold not counting the accumulation of precious stones such as pearls, rubies, turquoises, and emeralds."'. The term "crore" here means a "hundred thousand" as per the now-defunct Persian Number System. It must be mentioned though that Wassaf himself never visited any part of India and is generally considered an unreliable source by scholars. The Mahavamsa while describing the Pandyan plunder of the tooth relic, describes kulasekaran as "like a sun expanding the lotus-like race of the great Pandyan kings".
