Arikesari Maravarman (r. c. 640–690 CE),[1] also known as Parankusa,(Tamil: அரிகேசரி மாறவர்மன்) was a Pandya king of early medieval south India.[2]

Arikesari's reign witnessed the beginning of the Pandya contesting with the Pallavas in the northern part of the Tamil country.[2] He probably entered into an alliance with Chalukyas (to the counter the Pallavas).[3] The Pandyas also fought with the Cheras ("Keralas") under his rule.[4]
