Uththama Chola had replaced Parantaka Chola II and Tailapa claimed victory in a battle against Uththama in 980.
Sundara Chola, heartbroken due to this personal tragedy, appointed Maduranthaka Chola as the heir apparent.
•
By the time Maduranthaka was old enough to claim the crown, Sundara Chola had two sons – Aditya Karikalan (the one who took the head of the Vira Pandya) and Arulmozhivarman.
•
Arinjaya ruled for a very short time – possibly for less than a year and on his death, his son Parantaka II (Sundara Chola) succeeded him.
