After the failure of his plans against Varaguna, Nandivarman Pallavamalla continued to rule till about 795. Pallavamalla was a worshipper of Vishnu and a great patron of learning. He renovated old temples and built several new ones. Among the latter was the Vaikuntha-Perumāl temple at Kānchipuram which contains inscribed panels of sculpture portraying the events leading up to the accession of Pallavamalla to the throne. The great Vaishnava saint Tirumangai Ālvār was his contemporary.
