From the time of Siṃhavishṇu the history of the Pallavas becomes clear. I think it is useless to repeat here what I have said in my book "The Pallavas," page 36; I shall be content with saying here again that Siṃhavishṇu vanquished the Malaya, Kaḷabhra, Mālava, Chōḷa, Pāṇḍya and Siṃhala king and the Kēraḷas, conquered the Chōḷa kingdom and took possession of the banks of the Kāvērī; that Mahēndra was pursued by Pulakēśin II. up to the banks of the Kāvērī, that he succeeded in defeating his adversary at the battle of Pullalūr and preserved the country of Kāñchī; but he lost the districts of Guṇṭūr and Nellore which remained in the hands of the Chāḷukyas.
