It is not likely that, if Varaguna was beaten, and Āditya was his friend in this battle, Āditya got the whole of the Pallava country or even a part of it as a result of this fight. On the other hand if Āditya helped Aparājita in his victory, he might have claimed a share of the spoil and later on proceeded to make the other attack which transferred the Pallava dominions to him as the Tiruvālangādu plates imply. And this, in my opinion, is what happened actually. I am unable to see why Dubreuil must place Śrī Purambiyam in Nṛpatunga's reign or ‘admit that Nṛpatunga was killed in the battle of Śrī Purambiyam’ (p. 83).
