About A.D. 970 the Western Gaṅga Mārasimha III (See note above s.v., 963) made war on the Noḷamba-Pallava chiefs, and his general Chāmuṇḍa-Rāya succeeded in storming and capturing the principal Noḷamba stronghold, Uchchangi. He appears to have annexed the Noḷambavāḍi country and to have crushed the power of the ruling family (E.I. v. 157; iv, 350). His success, however, was not long-lived for the Chōḷas got the upper hand a few years later.
