Ponniyin Selvan Varalaatru Peravai

vanakkam,

I read the following in Ka.Appathurai's thennattu porkalangal:

vanagappadi, thondai naattin oru paguthi. athanai aanda baanan
irandaam visaayathithan, thondai naattil pallavar melurimai etru
anda kudi mannane. aanal aaditha chozhan pallavaridamirunthu thondai
naattai kaipatriya pinnar, avan pallavar melurimaiyai erinthu vittu,
aadithan melurimaiyaiyum etruk kollmal thani urimai kondaadinaan.
910-il nadantha chozha-rashtrakoota 'murkattu' poril, avan
paraanthakanai ethirthu porittaan.

intha poril, chozharukku thunaiyaaga ganga arasan irandaam
prruthiveepathi, kodumbaaloor thalaivan, keezhaip pazhuvur
pazhuvettariyan kandan amudhan aagiyor porittanar. chozhare intha
poril vetri petranar.

intha vetriyin payanaaga ganga mannanukku chozhargal, maavali
vaanaraayan endra pattathai alithu, iru baanaragalin naattai
alippathaga vaakkuruthi aliththaan.

athe varudam muthal vallaalap por nadaipetrathu.

vallaalam allathu vallam enbathu vaanargalin thalainagaram. ithu
indraiya vada aarkaadu maavattathil ulla gudiyaatham vattathai
saarntha thiruvalam endra oor.

muthal vallaalap poril vetri adaintha pinnar, chozhar vanagappadi
naatai ganga mannanukku aliththanar. intha poril thotra vaanarum,
vaithumbarum rashtrakootap perarasanidam thanjam pukunthanar.


It seems that vaanars went to the Rashtrakutas during Paranthaka's
reign. Any idea when they shifted allegiance to the Chozhas?
