History of the Pallavas of Kanchi c16.s1.37

c16.s1.37

The Tiruvālangāḍu plates of Rajēndrachola belonging to the sixth year of Rajēndra, while describing the achievements of the ancestors of Rajēndra, record (verse 49) that the Choḷa king Āditya ‘having conquered in battle the Pallava with his brilliant army though he was Aparājita, he took possession of his queen, the earth and accomplished his object in this direction too’. This Aparājita is evidently identical with the Aparājita-Vikramavarman whose inscription at Tiruttaṇi is dated in the eighteenth year and who, along with Western Ganga king Prithivīpati for his ally, fought against the Pāṇḍya king Varaguṇa at the battle of Śrīpurambiya.
