Pallava Architecture, Part I (MASI 17) c2.26

c2.26

Nandivarman is said to have reigned for about fifty years, among his later successors being Aparājita, who vanquished the Pāndya king, Varaguna II, at the battle of Sri Purambiya, but was himself overcome by the Chōla king Aditya I, about the end of the ninth century. From that time Pallava supremacy finally passed away and was transferred to the Chōlas, who brought all the southern kingdoms under their control during the tenth and eleventh centuries.
