Description
Āditya had besides Parāntaka another son, Kannaradēva by name.
Parāntaka I ruled for forty-eight years, as the latest inscription of his reign is dated in his forty-eight regnal year. Early in his reign he resisted with success the attempt of Rāṣṭrakūṭa Kṛṣṇa II to put his own grand-son Kannaradeva on the Cōḷa throne.
One of Krisha’s daughters married the Chola monarch Āditya I and bore him a son called Kannaradeva. When Parāntaka became king, at the death of Āditya I, and the prince Kannara was kept from the throne, Krishna espoused the cause of his grandson and invaded the Chola territory with the assistance of the Bānas and Vaidumbas. Parāntaka was assisted by the Ganga ruler Prithvīpati II, and a decisive battle was fought at Vallāla, modern Tiruvallam in the North Arcot district, which ended in disaster for Krishna and his allies. The Bānas lost their territory, which was handed over to Prithvīpati II, and the Vaidumbas also suffered for the support they had offered. The Rāshtrakūta war took place befor 916.
