On Pulakeśin’s death Kīrtivarman came to the throne (566-96). Kīrtivarman requested Maṅgaleśa to look after the kingdom till his son (Pulikeśin II ) come of age. Maṅgaleśa (596-609) shouldered the burden of the kingdom but later became ambitious. He became so ambitious that he wished to have the throne for his own son.
