His Ujjain inscription shows that one of the capitals of the Paramāras was already in the hands of Jayasiṁha before V. S. 1195 (A.D. 1139). The Jhalrapatan fragmentary inscription of Yaśovarman possibly indicated that the Paramāra king had been forced to withdraw down the valley of Kali Sindhu, but succeeded in maintaining a precarious existence in the lower valley of that river up to V.S. 1199 (A. D. 1142). The Dohad and Udayapur inscriptions of Jayasiṁha unquestionably prove Caulukya occupation of the whole territory from the Panch Mahals to the Betwa. These repeated disasters to the fortunes of the Paramāras must have shaken the foundations of their power in Malwa. There is reason to believe that the Paramāras never fully recovered from the blow which destroyed Bhoja and his empire. This is shown by the *Ingnoda stone-inscription of Vijayapāla* This was found ‘engraved on a slab of stone…… which is now let into the wall of a newly built temple at Ingnoda, in the territory of the junior Rāja of Dewas.’¹ It contains 15 lines, opening with *Om̐ namaḥ*, after which follows the date (V.) *Saṁvat* 1190 (*c.* 1133 A.D.). It then records that (here) in Iṁganapaṭa,¹ *M.-P.-Pṛthvīpāla-pādānudhyāta-Pb.-M.-P.-Tuhinapāladeva-pādānudhyāta-M.-P.-Vijayapāladeva*, after worshipping *Bhavānī-pati* (Siva), granted the village of Agāsiyaka to the god Gohādeśvara.
