To return to the reign of Nandivarman II: he led an expedition against the Ganga kingdom, defeated Śrīpurusha and forced him to surrender much wealth and restore the necklace which contained the precious gem called 'Ugrodaya'. Some territory was also taken from the Ganga and handed over to Jayanandivarman, the Bāṇa feudatory of Nandivarman. This was perhaps about 775. Nandivarman also came into conflict with Jaṭila Parāntaka Neḍunjaḍaiyan, alias Varaguṇamahārāja I (765-815), the son and successor of Pāṇdya Rājasimha I. The Pallava forces sustained a defeat at Peṇṇāgaḍam on the south bank of the Kaveri river (c. 775).
