Answer 1

Rajaraja defeated the Cheras and then he seized Madurai and captured the Pandya king Amarbhujanga. He also annexed Kalinga. The Eastern Chalukyas became the feudatories of the Chola kingdom. Rajaraja's armies carried out powerful raids into the territory of Western Chalukyas also . He invaded the Island of Sri Lanka and annexed it's northern part. Towards the end of his reign he conquered Maldives.
Thus , Rajaraja made himself the overlord of almost the whole of the present state of Tamil Nadu, parts of the state of Karnataka and it's adjoining regions,Sri Lanka and other islands . These conquests place him among"the foremost warriers and empire builders of ancient India."
