Maravarman Vikkiraman II (Template:Lang-ta) was a Pandyan king, who ruled regions of South India between 1250–1251 CE.[1]
Shared rule
Maravarman Vikkiraman II was one of many Pandyan princes who ruled the Pandyan kingdom in the mid-13th Century. The practice of shared rule with one prince asserting primacy was common in the Pandyan Kingdom.[2] The other princes of the Pandyan royal family with whom he shared his rule were Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan I and Jatavarman Veera Pandyan I[3]
End of Hoysala Hegemony
His rule marked the end of more than two decades of Hoysala influence over the Pandya kingdom. His meikeerthi declares that he was like a lion to the Hoysala elephant (Template:Lang-ta).[4]
