    NARSIMHAVARMAN I

    CONFLICT WITH PULUKESIAN II


    Under Pulakesin II, the Chalukyas invaded Pallava land and were
    roundly defeated by the Pallava Narasimhaverman in 643 CE. Badami
    was stormed and taken by the Pallava king. This war broke the backbone
    of the Badami Chalukyas though they continued for another 100years.
    This war had far reaching consequences. Though Pulakesin was a Hindu
    monarch the Buddhist influence was strong in his realm. Tamil sources
    speak of a Buddhist priest of eminence, Naganandi. I am not sure if this
    is Nagarjuna. The defeat eliminated Buddhism in the South totally

    Pulakesi's ambition prompted him to undertake another expedition


    against the Pallavas in the hope of achieving more decisive results.
    However, war had depleted the treasury sufficiently enough to prevent
    Pulakesi to mount an effective campaign.
    Pulakesi began his campaign by an attack on the Banas, vassals of the
    Pallavas. After overrunning them, Pulakesi invaded the Pallava kingdom
    proper and once more threatened the Pallava Capital. However the
    Pallava forces under Narasimhavarman defeated the Chalukyas in several
    battles including one at Manimangalam, east of Kanchipuram. In these
    battles the Pallava army was assisted by the Sinhalese king Manavarma
    and also his important commander paranjothi(lover of Narasimhavarman
    I's sister and one of 63 nayanmars known as siruthondar). Pulakesi's
    expedition ended in failure. The Pallavas, encouraged by their success,
    invaded deep into Chalukya territory. The Pallava ruler captured and
    sacked Vatapi (Badami). Narasimhavarman assumed the title of
    Vatapikonda (the conqueror of Vatapi). Vatapi remained in Pallava control
    for twelve years.

    Pulakesin II was defeated and killed by the Pallava king


    Narasimhavarman in 642 AD. His capital Vatapi was completely
    destroyed.
    Narasimhavarman I had defeated the Chalukyan ruler Pulakesin II at
    Manimangalam. Then, he marched with his army towards the Chalukyan
    kingdom.

    CONFLICT WITH VIKRAMADITYA I

    Pulakesi's third son, Vikramaditya I, became the Chalukya king in 642 C.E.,
    attempting to re-unite the kingdom after defeating his brothers

    After the death of Pulakesi-II, Badami and some of the southern districts
    remained in the hand of Pallavas. Though Chalukyas throne remained
    vacant from 642 AD - 655 AD, Vikramaditya-I managed to ascend the
    throne in 655 AD. He recovered Badami and brought the whole kingdom
    under his control

    RELATIONS WITH SRI LANKA

    Narasimhavarman I had sent two expeditions to Ceylon and helped his friend Manavarman to
    get back his kingdom.
