The \*Kumārapāla-carita\* claims that Jayasiṁha defeated Madanavarman the lord of Mahobaka⁴ (\*c.\* 1129-63 A.D.). According to the \*Kīrtikaumudī\*, he went from Dhārā to Kālañjara.⁵ As I have already suggested elsewhere, it appears from the chronicles that Jayasiṁha did not derive much material advantage from his wars with the Candellas.⁶ But the authenticity of the statements of these chronicles about this war seems to be proved by a Kālañjar stone-inscription which refers to a victory of Madanavarman over the Gurjara king.⁷ The \*Prabandha-cintāmaṇi\* informs us that the 'king of the country of Dāhala' wrote to Jayasiṁha 'a letter of alliance,' and that the latter maintained diplomatic relations with 'Jayacandra,' 'king of Benares.'¹ This king of Dāhala was probably the Kalacuri Yaśaḥ-Karṇa (\*c.\* 1073-1125 A.D.). But the name of the Gāhaḍavāla king 'Jayacandra' (\*c.\* 1170-93 A.D.) given by Merutuṅga appears to be a mistake for Govindacandra (\*c.\* 1114-55 A.D.).² - [Previous: v2.c31.267](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.267) - [Next: v2.c31.269](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.269) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31) ## Cites (3) - [Kumārapālacarita (Prākṛtadvyāśraya)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.historical.jaina.dvyasraya.kumarapalacarita) — Hemacandra, Prakrit - [Kīrtikaumudī](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.historical.jaina.kirtikaumudi) — Someśvaradeva, Sanskrit - [Prabandhacintāmaṇi](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.historical.jaina.prabandhacintamani) — Merutuṅga, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.268](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.268) · Pramāṇa
