c17.8
We have often found before that the three southern kingdoms of Pāṇḍya, Kēraḷa and Simhaḷa were allied against the Cōḷa; this alliance was still effective in the time of Rājarāja, and it would seem that Rājarāja’s southern campaign was directed against the Pāṇḍya and the Cēra together. The Cēra king at this time was Bhāskara Ravi Varman Tiruvaḍi (A.D. 978-1036), whose inscriptions have been recovered from different parts of Travancore.¹⁰
