chandrabhanu -lrb- died 1263 -rrb- or chandrabhanu sridhamaraja was the king of tambralinga kingdom in present day thailand .
a javaka , he was known to have ruled from during the period of 1230 until 1263 .
he was also known for building a well-known buddhist stupa in southern thailand .
he spent more than 30 years in his attempt to conquer sri lanka .
he was eventually defeated by the forces of the pandyan dynasty from tamil nadu -lrb- present day south india in 1263 and was killed by the brother of the south indian emperor jatavarman sundara pandyan .
in 1247 he sent an expedition to the island ostensibly to acquire the buddhist relic from the island .
his forces , using poison darts , were able to occupy the jaffna kingdom , the northern part of the island in 1255 .
repeated attempts to conquer the rest of the island ensued .
in 1258 his forces faced an invasion of the island by the forces of the pandyan dynasty commanded by jatavarman sundara pandyan i , and chandrabhanu submitted to pandyan rule , bringing the jaffna kingdom under pandyan suzerainty .
from 1262-1264 tambralinga forces , using chola and pandyan soldiers commanded by chandrabhanu 's son savakanmaindan and two sinhalese princes were defeated by the pandyans led in the invasion by jatavarman vira pandyan i .
in 1270 , savakanmaindan , kept on the jaffna throne under pandyan suzerainty attempted to invade the south of the island once again , only to be defeated decisively by the pandyans under maravarman kulasekara pandyan i by the late 1270s .
the defeat was so complete that in 1290 , tambralinga was absorbed by the neighboring thai kingdoms .
