'''Maravarman Sundara Pandyan II ''' ({{lang-ta|இரண்டாம் மாறவர்மன் சுந்தர பாண்டியன்}}) was a [[Pandyan]] king, who ruled regions of [[South India]] between 1238&ndash;1240 CE.<ref name="Sethuraman, p124">Sethuraman, p124</ref><br />
<br />
==Shared rule==<br />
<br />
Sundara Pandiyan II was one of two Pandyan princes who acceded to power in 1238 after [[Maravarman Sundara Pandyan|Maravarman Sundara Pandyan I]].<ref name="Sethuraman, p124"/> He shared his rule with his elder brother [[Jatavarman Kulasekaran II]] for two years.<ref name="Narasayya, p43">Narasayya, p43</ref> This practice of shared rule with one prince asserting primacy was common in the Pandyan Kingdom.<ref>KA Nilakanta Sastri, p196</ref> His years of reign are unclear. While KA Nilakanta Sastri mentions him as the Pandyan prince defeated by [[Rajendra Chola III]] around 1250,<ref name="KA Nilakanta Sastri, p195">KA Nilakanta Sastri, p195.</ref> N Sethuraman mentions another Pandyan prince - [[Jatavarman Vikkiraman I]] as the Pandyan ruler between 1241 and 1250.<br />
<br />
==Hoysala influence==<br />
This period was marked with increasing [[Hoysala]] influence over Chola kingdom under the rule of [[Vira Someshwara]].<ref>KA Nilakanta Sastri, p195</ref> According to KA Nilakanta Sastri<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
''Hoysala influence over the whole area of the Chola kingdom and even in the Pandya country increased steadily from about 1220 to 1245, a period which may be well described as that of Hoysala hegemony in the south.''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The Pandyan inscriptions of this period indicate tribute being paid to the [[Hoysala]] king.<ref name="Narasayya, p43"/> The ''kilacheval'' temple grants, ''Vira Somi Chathurvedimangalam'' land grants and the presence of a Hoysala general Appana Dandanayaka for settling disputes at [[Thirumayam]] all indicate Hoysala dominance over the Chola Country.<ref>Aiyangar, p.46</ref><br />
<br />
==War with Cholas==<br />
Sundara Pandiyan II was attacked and defeated by the [[Rajendra Chola III]] around 1250. To prevent the complete revival of Chola power, [[Vira Someshwara]] temporarily allied himself with the Pandyas<ref name="KA Nilakanta Sastri, p195"/><br />
