The Pāṇḍya state, in common with the other kingdoms of the South, undoubtedly was reduced to a condition of tributary dependence by the Chola king, Rājarāja the Great, about the year 994, and continued to be more or less under Chola control for nearly two centuries; although, of course, the local administration remained in the hands of the native Rājas, and the relations of the two states varied from time to time. Some revival of the Pāṇḍya power took place in the first half of the thirteenth century.
