The correct chronological order of the given events is:

2-1-4-3

Mahendravarman I was the first prominent ruler of the Pallava dynasty who ruled from 590 CE to 630 CE. Hence, the establishment of Pallava power under Mahendravarman I is the earliest event.

The rise of Pratiharas under King Bhoja took place in the 8th century CE. Therefore, it comes after the establishment of the Pallava dynasty.

The Pala dynasty was founded by Gopala in the 8th century CE. It is the third event in the chronological order.

The establishment of the Chola dynasty under Parantaka I took place in the 9th century CE, which makes it the last event in the given chronological order.
