Part 1 - Malaya dynasty (A.D. 1018-1128)

In the period of a century and a decade from A.D. 1018 we hear practically nothing about the Malayadesa and its rulers. Vengi suzerainty changed hands. The Chalukyas became Chalukya cholas from A.D. 1070 and Vengi became a Chola vicoroyalty. Towards the end of Kulottunga I’s reign, there was slow but steady infiltration of the Western Chalukya power into Vengi, which is born but by several records in Vengi dated in c.v. era especially between the years 45 and 48. Probably the Malayas, like the Haihayas of Konamandala, had to recognise the Chalukya suzerainty. However, she situation in Vengi in A.D. 1128, when the Malayas appear on the political arena again is thus after of Vikramaditya’s death the Chola supremacy in Vengi was restored with the willing co-operation of the local rulers completed in the southern half though it took another decade for its completion in the northern half.A.D. 1138.
