The reign of Sugandha Rani ended in chaos. She was heavily under the control of mercenary soldiers called 'Tantrins' and 'Ekangas'. She selected Nirjjita varman, son of Sukha varman and grandson of Shura varman, to be the king, in the hope that being her relative, he would act according to her directions. But Nirjjita varman was an unpopular king - he was handicapped and spent a lot of money. The Tantrin infantry then deposed him and installed his son Partha on the throne.

Chakravarman was yet another child-ruler; he went on to rule for ten years (till 933/934), for a few months under the regency of his mother and then, under grandmother Kshillika. A new revolution by the Tantrin militia tried installing other kings in the intervening period but Chakravarman promised them with even greater riches. When the Tantrins installed him in 935, he appointed them in important offices. But he had to flee, after failing to raise enough taxes to pay the Tantrins.
