But it is more likely that this ruler was Jayasiṁha¹ the temporary usurper of Bhīma II’s throne, for whom we have got a grant, dated in V. S. 1280 (*c.* 1223 A. D.). The statement of Madana concerning the victory of the Paramāras over Gujarat kings is also borne out by the inscriptions of the former. Thus the Piplainagar and Bhopal grants of Arjunavarman (V. S. 1267-72) claim that the ‘angered prowess’ of Subhaṭavarman² was ‘witnessed in the conflagration of the cities of Gurjara,’³ and repeats the story of Arjuna’s victory over Jayasiṁha.⁴ The same incidents are also recorded in the Mandhata grants⁵ of his sons Jaitugi and Jayavarman.
