Chakravarman was a child-ruler; he went on to rule for ten years (till 933/934) under the regency of his mother and then, under grandmother Kshillika. A new revolution by the Tantrin soldiery then installed Suravarman I in 933. Chakravarman was re-installed in 935. He was overthrown again and briefly reinstalled in 936 but was murdered by some rebelleous soldiers in the summer of 937.
