Palayakkarars (Poligar is how the British referred to them) in Tamil refers to the holder of a little kingdom as a feudatory to a greater sovereign. Under this system, palayam was given for valuable military services rendered by any individual.

This type of Palayakkarars system was in practice during the rule of Prataba Rudhra of Warangal in the Kakatiya kingdom. The system was introduced in Tamil Nadu by Viswanatha Nayaka, when he became the Nayak ruler of Madurai in , with the support of his minister Ariyanathar. Traditionally, there were supposed to be Palayakkarars. The Palayakkarars were free to collect revenue, administer the territory, settle disputes and maintain law and order.

Their police duties were known as Padikaval or Arasu Kaval. On many occasions the Palayakarars helped the Nayak rulers to restore the kingdom to them. The personal relationship and an understanding between the King and the Palayakkarars made the system to last for about two hundred years from the Nayaks of Madurai, until the takeover of these territories by the British.
