Reign
Nandivarman III was born to the
Vaigai river. The Pandyan king Srimara Srivallabha, however, recovered most of his territories and even defeated the Pallavas at Kumbakonam.[7][8][9]
Nandivarman had a powerful navy and maintained trade contacts with
Siam which was placed under the protection of the Manigramam merchant guild.[10][1] He was a great patron of arts and literature.[3] The Bharatam was translated into Tamil by Perundevanar under his patronage. The Nandikkalambakam was composed by a poet in praise of Nandivarman III.[11][12][6] His reign saw the construction of the Vishnu temple at Kiliyanur and the Shiva temple at Thirukattupalli
.
Nandivarman III married a
Rashtrakuta emperor. He had a son named Nripatunga from Shankha, who succeeded him as king.[13][14] His second wife was a Paluvettaraiyar princess named Kandan Marampavaiyar, through which he had his second son named Kampavarman. Before his death, Nandivarman III divided his kingdom between his two sons- Nriputungavarman ruling in the south and Kampavarman ruling in the north.[4]
