The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c35.s4.33

c35.s4.33

Nandivarman reigned for about sixty-two years, and was succeeded by several princes ending with Aparājita Pallava, who vanquished the Pāndya king, Varaguna II, at the battle of Srī-Purambiya, but was himself overcome by Āditya Chola about the close of the ninth century.² From that time the Pallava supremacy, which had been severely shaken by the Chalukya successes in 740, finally passed away and was transferred to the Cholas, who, as already narrated, brought all the southern kingdoms under their control more or less completely during the tenth and eleventh centuries.
