The dynasty passed through two periods of imperial dominance , the 6th to 10th centuries CE , and under the ' Later Pandyas ' . The pandyas ruled extensive territoris , at times including the large portions of present- day south India and northern Sri Lanka through collateral branches subject to Madurai .
