Vikramāditya seems to have pushed on to the south, where he was opposed by the Pāṇḍya king Kōchchaḍaiyan, and near Trichinopoly a battle was fought at Peruvaḷanallūr as well as at Mangaḷapuram and Matudūr. Pallava and Pāṇḍya records equally claim that in this battle the Cāḷukya was defeated. Vikramāditya evidently had now against him a combination of Pallavas, Pāṇḍyas and Chōḷas—though about the last nothing is known. He was at Uragapura on the south bank of the Kāvēri river on April 25 A.D. 674 (see below). (See the Kūram grant, near Kanchi, S.I.I. i, 144 ; Ind.
