Chandrabhanu (died 1262) or Chandrabhanu Sridhamaraja was the King of
Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan.[1]
In 1247 he sent an expedition to the island ostensibly to acquire the
Jatavarman Vira Pandyan I. In 1270, Savakanmaindan, kept on the Jaffna throne under Pandyan suzerainty attempted to invade the south of the island once again, and was defeated decisively by the Pandyans under Maravarman Kulasekara Pandyan I by the late 1270s. The defeat was so complete that in 1290, Tambralinga was absorbed by the neighboring Thai Kingdoms.[4]
