c8.s13.11

There is little doubt that the Chōlas contemplated the entire subjugation of Mysore. But in this they were foiled to the westward by the Hoysalas, who were now rising to power. Thus, Rājarāja’s general Apramēya is said, in 1006, to have encountered Poysala’s minister Nāgaṇṇa (TN 44), and to have won a battle over other Hoysala leaders at Kalavūr (Kaleyūr near Mālingi, opposite to Taḷakāḍ, on the other side of the river). Then, Pañchava-mahārāya, another of Rājarāja’s leaders, who had distinguished himself in the battle of Panasoge (Cg 46), and been invested with the title of Koṅgāḷva, conducted victorious expeditions along the west coast (Sr 140). But in Mysore the Koṅgāḷvas were opposed by the Hoysala king Nṛipa-Kāma in 1022 and 1026 (Mj 43, Ag 46), and made no way in extending the Chōla conquests in this country.
