Correct Answer: Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). There is not much information about the transition period of around three centuries from the end of the Sangam age (c. 300) to that in which the Pandyas and Pallavas dominated the Tamil country. An obscure dynasty, the Kalabhras invaded Tamil country, displaced the existing kingdoms and ruled during that time.They were displaced by the Pallava dynasty and the Pandyan dynasty in the 6th century.Little is known of the fate of the Cholas during the succeeding three centuries until the accession of Vijayalaya in the second quarter of the 9th century.
