(5) *Ujjain fragmentary stone inscription.*—This was 'but a fragment and was lying in the compound of the local Municipality.' It opens with the date Thursday, the 14th of the dark-half of Jyeṣṭha of V. S. 1195:(c. 1138 A.D.) and refers itself to the reign of *Tribhuvana-gaṇḍa-Siddha-Cakravarti-Avantīnātha-Varvaraka-jiṣṇu-Jayasiṁhadeva*, who resided at Anahilapāṭaka. The inscription then tells us that Jayasiṁha was holding Avanti-*maṇḍala* after vanquishing the Mālava king Yaśovarman. Mālava was ruled at this time by Mahādeva, son of Dāḍāka of the Nāgara race. The *Mahattama* Dāḍāka was the keeper of the seal at Anahilapāṭaka.³
