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 soldiery then installed Suravarman I; he ruled for about a year before being compelled to abdicate the throne, after failing to raise the demanded bribes. The Tantrins then re-installed Partha but deposed within a very short time-span, as Chakravarman promised the Tantrins with even greater riches. When the Tantrins installed him in 935, he appointed them in important offices but had to flee again, after failing to raise enough taxes.
