Influence in Tamil country politics

During the time period 1225–1250, the

Pandyas.[citation needed] Someshwara was actually given the honorific Mamadi ("uncle") by the kings of Tamil country. Magadai
Mandalam was conquered by Veera Somesvara in 1236. He allied himself with Chola Rajendra III but made friendship with the Pandyas when the Chola king tried to invade Pandya territory in 1238. Later having defeated Rajendra Chola III, Vira Someshwara again fought for the cause of the Cholas against the Pandyas.

After 1235 CE, Someswara founded his capital in southern city of Kannanur, 5 miles to the north of Srirangam, and called it Vikramapura. In 1236-37 CE, he set up several minor shrines in the Jambukeswaram temple on the Srirangam island, called Vallaliswara, Padumaliswara, Vira Narasingeswara, and Somaleswara named based on his close family members. The Bhojeswara Posaliswara temple was raised by him in Kannanur and he signed his inscriptions in Kannada as Malaparoluganda (Lord among the Malepas, i.e., the hill tribes on the Western Ghats), the Hoysala family title since their beginning in bold Kannada characters.[2][3]

In 1254 Someshwara divided his kingdom between his two sons,
