Nobody know accurately, what dates exactly were for Karikala, but from Sangam literature, one can get close to one. Kindly refer the dates of Karikala the Great talk page from Mahavamsa and Sri Lankanachronicle which place KK II 's period at the middle of 1st c. ce. Also, from the same, 113 ce.- Gajabahu's visit to Cenkuttuvan , for Kannagi temple festival . Cilappatikaram(if one is impartial would clearly understand Cilappatigaram is a biography and a chronicle of events in {you asked if it is true did all the three kings invaded north, may be it is true, and why not, as it and other Sangam literature also mentions atleast three Aryan invasions into Tamil Nadu clearly and impartially, one in early Magadha time, one in Mauryan time, and another in Satavahana time, which needed Tamil kings to struggle hard to defend; so Sangam documents contemporary historical events and is not just a imaginary work, unless you understand euphemisms and uvamai and uvamaanam, correctly, like your thribhuvaneka loka title, just like shah-n-shah and basileus basilis , }) takes the age of Kannagi at marriage at Pugaar, to be 12, and that the couple lived for 12 more years at the old Pugaar, before moving to Madurai .Going from the back, 113/112-12/13, =100/99 ce,. KK II as a old king is said to attend a function of Madhavi's arangaettram, at around 99c.e. from above calc, Karikala ascends throne at an early age, 15/16, and looked to rule for long years say,55/60, till as an old man at the start of Cilappatigaram . So I have placed his ascent at around 30 c.e. and birth at around 15 c.e. It is my approximatable calc., with derivations from all these external sources above . Everything is open to see, only who doesnt tur n a deaf ear, can deduce it .
