But Ānna was defeated and wounded in the fight, and bought peace by marrying his daughter Jalhaṇā to Kumārapāla.² Merutuṅga agrees with Hemacandra in stating that it was the king of Sapādalakṣa who first made the attack. According to him the Cāhamāna king was induced to attack the frontiers of Gujarata by Bāhaḍa, the son of the prime minister Udayanadeva and the adopted son of Siddharāja. Bāhaḍa, ‘desiring to make war on Kumārapāla, having won over to his side all the officers in those parts with bribes, attentions and gifts, bringing with him the king of the Sapādalakṣa country, surrounded with a formidable army, arrived on the borders of Gujarāt.’³ For a time the position of the Caulukya king was serious. A large section of the army, including Caüliṅga, the driver of the royal elephant, refused to follow him to battle. But in the end, thanks to Kumārapāla’s personal bravery, the enemy forces were completely routed, Bāhaḍa was captured, while Ānna the Sapādalakṣa king was wounded with an iron dart. This victory over Arṇorāja is also mentioned by the \*Vasanta-vilāsa\*,⁴ the \*Vastupāla-Tejaḥpāla-praśasti\*,⁵ and the \*Sukṛtakīrti-kallolinī\*.⁶ - [Previous: v2.c31.373](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.373) - [Next: v2.c31.375](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.375) - [Up: v2.c31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31) ## Cites (1) - [Vasantavilāsa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.historical.jaina.vasantavilasa) — Bālacandrasūri, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.374](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c31.374) · Pramāṇa
