Which among the following Chola emperors defeated the Pandya king Maravarman Rajsimha II in the battle of Vellore?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Parantaka I.
In the Battle of Vellore (c. 915 CE), the Chola Emperor Parantaka I decisively defeated the combined forces of the Pandya King Maravarman Rajasimha II and his ally, King Kassapa V of Sri Lanka.
This victory effectively ended Pandyan resistance for a time and allowed Parantaka I to annex the Pandyan territories, earning him the title 'Maduraikonda' (Captor of Madurai).
