Sambuvarayar dynasty is an ancient ruling dynasty in Tondai mandalam.The most important king was Ethirili Chola Sambuvarayar, a vassal under Rajadhiraja Chola II and Kulothunga Chola III who ruled the northern part of Thondaimandalam, now comprising the districts of Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram and Thiruvallur.
Ethirili Chola Sambuvarayar, hailing from the Sengeni family was the son of Sengeni Ammaiyappan Kannudaiya Peruman Vikrama Chola Sambuvarayar. His titles were Virasani, Viruchola and Pallavandan.
Madura Vijayam, a Sanskrit poetical work by Gangamma mahadevi about vijayanagar prince, Kumara Kampanna Udayar or Kumara Kampanna II, the second son of Bukka Raya I quotes thus "Bukka advised his son to march against the Sambuvaraya chieftain who "is the leader of the Vanniyar and he is preparing for war. [1] [2]If you subdue the Vanniyar ruler, it would be easy for you to break the power of the Muslims at Madura".[3] From the above mentioned it is clear that Sambuvarayars are Vanniyars[4]

The first chieftain identified is Omainthan Munnutruvan Palliyana karanamanikam.In this"South Indian Inscriptions Vol.7,Number 500" inscription this chieftain is mentioned as a Palli.
