Aparajitavarman (fl. c. 880-897 CE) was a king of the Pallava dynasty. The last ruling member of his house[1] he was killed in c. 897 CE in a battle against Aditya I.[2] In 880 CE Aparajita had defeated and killed Varagunavarman II.[3]
Reign
A depiction of Somaskanda on the rear wall of the sanctum of a temple commissioned by him in Tiruttani is regarded as the last knownuse of that stylistic tradition.[4] In 885 he transferred the rule of Thanjavur to his ally and vassal Aditya I as a reward for his contribution to the victory at Thirupurambiyam. The Cholas under Aditya I at first were minor allies of the Pallavas, but later attacked them, defeated and killed Aparajitavarman, their former ruler.[5]
