Explanation:

• Pulakeshin's most remarkable military achievement was his victory over powerful emperor Harshavardhana, the Chinese pilgrim Xusang attested to his failure to conquer the Kingdom of Chalukya.  It was believed that the battle occurred sometime between 618 AD and 619 AD. Harsha's conquests had been challenged by Pulakeshin who ruled the Chalukyan capital of Badami. The former had become the "Lord paramount," of south as Harsha from the north had it. Unwilling, Harsha was not willing to tolerate the existence of a powerful rival in the south. Such was Pulakeshin's efficiency in guarding the Narmada passes, that after losing most of his elephant strength, harshavardhana had to accept the river as the boundary and leave the battlefield
• The Battle of Pullalur was a battle fought between the Chalukya king Pulakesin II and the Pallava king Mahendravarman I in the town of Pullalur or Pollilur in about 618–19. The Vishnukandin Kingdom was the principal reason behind the wars of Pallav and Chalukya. The Kanchi Pallavas supporters were the Vishnukandins. The rapid expansion of the Kingdom of Chalukya led to the Chalukya annexation of the Vishnukandin kingdom. The Pallavas were so embittered, and many battles were fought against them. In about 617–18 ACE, Pulakesin II invaded and annexed Vengainadu. Chalukyas annexed the Andhra territory and entered the core of the Pallavas in 619 A.D. In battle of Pullalur, Pulakeshi defeated the forces of Mahendravarman I. But Pulakeshi did not go into the capital any further, because Kanchi was strongly fortified with moats, walls etc.
• While preparing for a counterattack in the coming few years, the Pallavas long wished to venge the embarrassment that they suffered by Pulakeshin II. In 630, his son Narasimhavarman I succeeded Mahendravarman I, who became the powerful State under the Pallava Kingdom. This led to a second expedition into the nation of Pallava for Pulakeshin II. Pulakeshin II first defeated the Banas, who were feudatories of the Pallavas, before advancing into the Pallava country. Manimagala was Pallavas ' first victory over the Chalukias and also the first of Pulakesin II's four successive defeats in 642 AD. Pulakesin II was defeated  and was forced to retreat pursued by the victorious Pallava forces. In three separate encounters in Pariyala, Suramana, and Manimangala, all near the Pallava capital, Kanchi, narasimhavarman I encountered the Chalukyas and defeated them and forced them to withdraw.The Pallavas, then, took the offensive and pursued the fleeing Chalukya forces deep into their territory .Narasimhavarman I was sent to capture Vatapi, the capital of the Chalukyas, in 642, a formidable Pallava Force under Paranjothi. On the outskirts of his capital Pulakeshin II encountered the pallavas and is supposed to have lost his life in the war that followed. The victorious Pallavas won a decisive victory over Pulakeshin II and took the capital.
