The collapse of the Chola resistance after the battle of Takkolam lead to the virtual destruction of the Chola empire. The Rashtrakutas conquered eastern and northern parts of the Chola empire and advanced to [[Rameswaram]].  As per the Karhad copper plates of Krishna II, dated 959 AD, the king "uprooted the Cholas, distributed their territory among his followers, and extracted tribute from the Chera (Kerala) and [[Pandyan dynasty|Pandya]] kings" during his campaign.<ref name=":0" />
The epithet ‘Tanjaiyunkonda’ or the 'conqueror of [[Thanjavur|Tanjore]]' was given to Krishna III as mentioned in many records found in Tondai-Mandalam, that the conclusion becomes inevitable that he had conquered and occupied the Chola capital at least for some time. The statements in the Karhad plates states that Krishna defeated the Pandyas and the Keralas, exacted tributes from the king of Ceylon and planted the creeper of his fame at [[Rameshwaram|Ramesvara]]{{sfn|A. S. Altekar|1934|p=134}}
As per historians, the defeat at Takkolam reversed the substantial political gains made by Parantaka Chola in previous decades. It opened the way for a period of multiple (and perhaps even disputed) Chola accessions.<ref>Nilakantha Sastri, ''Cōḷas'', 140–67.</ref> The Chola royals remained in confusion, and perhaps continued a precarious political existence under the threat of Rashtrakuta invasion.<ref name=":0" />
