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.
