Maravarman Vikkiraman II (Tamil: இரண்டாம் மாறவர்மன் விக்கிரம பாண்டியன்) was a Pandyan king, who ruled regions of South India between 1250–1251 CE.[1]

Shared Rule

Maravarman Vikkiraman II was one of many Pandyan princes who ruled Pandyan kingdom in the middle part of the 13th Century. This practice of shared rule with one prince asserting primacy was common in the Pandyan Kingdom.[2] The other princes of the Pandyan royal family with whom he shared his rule were Jatavarman Sundara Pandyan I and Jatavarman Veera Pandyan I [3]

End of Hoysala Hegemony

His rule marked the end of more than two decades of Hoysala influence over the Pandya kingdom. His meikeerthi declares that he was like a lion to the Hoysala elephant (Tamil: போசள யானைக்கு சிம்மம் போன்றவன்).[4]
