c21.37

Singhaṇa seems to have invaded Gujarât several times In an inscription at Âmbem a Brâhman chief of the name of Kholeśvara of the Mudgala Gotra is spoken of as a very brave general in the service of the Yâdava sovereign He humbled the pride of the Gûrjana prince, crushed the Mâlava, destroyed the race of the king of the Âbhîras, and being like "wild fire to the enemies" of his master, left nothing for Singhaṇa to be anxious about His son Râma succeeded him, and a large expedition under his command was again sent to Gujarât Râma advanced up to the Narmadâ, where a battle was fought, in which he slew numbers of Gûrjana soldiers, but he himself lost his life ²² From this it would appear that Gujarât was invaded by Singhaṇa on two occasions at least, if not more, and this is borne out by what we find stated in the authorities [109] for the history of Gujarât
