Krishna II of Rashtrakuta


Aditya Chola I married the daughter of Rashtrakuta king Krishna II. He also had a sone Kannara Devan by name. After Aditya Chola I died, the Rashtrakuta king Krishna II tried to make his grandson Kannara Devan as the Chola king.

When Rashtrakuta king Krishna II wanted to make his grandson Kannar Devan as the Chola king, he attacked the Cholas along with Vaanars. The attack happened at the north western side of the Chola kingdom. The Cholas got help of the Ganga king Prathvipathi II. The battle took place at Tiruvallam aka Vallala in 911 AD. As Krishna II lost the battle, Parantakan got the title ‘Veera Cholan’.
