Explanation

Narasimha Varman I, a Pallava king, famously captured and destroyed Vatapi (modern Badami), the capital of the Chalukya kingdom, in 642 CE. This earned him the title 'Vatapikonda' (conqueror of Vatapi). The Chola and Pandiya dynasties were contemporary Tamil kingdoms, while the Chera dynasty was another major Tamil dynasty - none were demolished by Narasimha Varman.
