Cakravarman 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 Ksillika. A new revolution by the Tantrins 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 Cakravarman promised the Tantrins with even greater riches. After restoration in 935, he installed Tantrins at important offices but had to flee again, after failing to raise enough taxes.
