Of these Pallavas but little is known. The general use of the title ‘varman’ is common to them and the Veṅgi kings; and this and some other facts make it most probable that they belonged to one family. They had numerous contests and alliances by marriage with the Cera, Cōḷa and Cālukya families, but in the 11th century they were mere feudatories of the Cōḷas, and on this account were, apparently, repeatedly attacked by the Western Cālukyas. They disappear about the 14th century A. D.[^2)
