Relations with the Cheras

Friendly relations appear to have existed between the Cheras (the Perumals) and the Cholas during the reign of Aditya I.[2] The Chera contemporary Sthanu Ravi was a partner in Chola king Rajakesari Varma's campaign in Kongu country (central Tamil Nadu).[4] King Rajakesari Varma can be identified either with Aditya or Srikantha Chola.[5][2]

It is known that Aditya I's son, Parantaka I, married a Chera princess (the Kizhan Adikal).[6]
