Vikramāditya’s reign was also marked by the construction of new temples, an activity which was continued by his son Kirtivarman II who succeeded him in 744-5. Kirtivarman II and his Ganga feudatory Śrīpuruṣa came into conflict with the Pāṇdya ruler Māṛavarman Rājasimha I who was extending the Pāṇdya power over the Kongu country and beyond. Rājasimha crossed the Kaveri and subjugated Maḷakongam on the borderland between the Tiruchirāpalli and Tanjore districts, defeated the Chālukya ruler and his feudatory in a big battle at Veṇbai and made peace with them, accepting the hand of a Ganga princess for his son.
