Pallava King From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aparajita Varman, (reigned 880-897 CE) commonly referred as Aparajita, was a king of the Pallava dynasty. He was the son of Kampavarman and the Ganga princess Vijaya. Considered the last known Pallava ruler,[1] he was defeated and killed in c. 897 CE in a battle against Aditya I. The Pallava reign over Tondaimandalam came to an end thereafter as the Pallava territories were annexed into the Chola Empire. [2] In 880 CE, Aparajita fought a battle against the Pandya ruler Varagunavarman II and had him defeated.[3]

A Somaskanda depiction on the rear wall of the sanctum of a temple commissioned by him in Tiruttani is regarded as the last known use of that stylistic tradition.[4] In 885, he transferred the rule of Thanjavur to his ally and vassal Aditya I as a reward for his contribution to the victory at Thirupurambiyam. The Cholas under Aditya I at first were minor allies of the Pallavas, but later attacked them, defeated and killed Aparajitavarman, thus marking the end of the Pallava reign in Southern India.[5]
