When Sohaḍa heard this disagreeable utterance of the minister he turned back again. Subsequently his son, named the glorious Arjunadeva, quite defeated the realm of Gujarat.'¹ The *Hammīra-mada-mardana* of Jayasiṁha also refers to the invasion of Gujarat by *Mahārāja* Devapāla of Mālava² simultaneously with the Muslim invasion from the north. Lavaṇaprasāda, who was a minister of Bhīma, is credited in Bālacandra's *Vasanta-vilāsa* with victories over Coḍa, Kerala, Lāṭa, Mālava, Rāḍha, and the Hūṇas³ To this war between Mālava and Gurjara princes during this period the literary and epigraphic records of the Paramāras bear testimony. Thus the *Pārijāta-mañjarī*⁴ of Madana⁵ tells us that the Paramāra Arjunavarman (1211-15 A. D.) defeated the *Caulukya-mahī-mahendra* Jayasiṁha.⁶ Hultzsch inclined to the view that this Jayasiṁha is identical with Bhīma II, who like his predecessor Jayasiṁha, was known as 'the New Siddharāja.'⁷
