v2.c32.s4.78

Vigraharāja was succeeded by his son Pṛthvīrāja I. The *Pṛthvīrāja-vijaya* states that this prince defeated and killed a body of 700 'Caulukyas' who had come to Puṣkara to rob the Brāhmans. He is also reported to have built an *anna-satra* on the road to Somanātha. The Bijolia inscription gives Rasalladevī as the name of his queen. Only one inscription has so far been noticed for the reign of Pṛthvīrāja I. This is his *Revasa stone-inscription* found in the temple of Jīṇ-mātā (*Jayantī-mātā*) situated about six miles to the south of Revasa. The latter place is nearly 16 miles NW of Khatu, in the Sambhar Nizamat in Shekhawati, Jaipur State. The goddess inside the temple is 'an eight-handed Mahiṣamardinī'; the *Sabhāmaṇḍapa* of the temple is 'doubtless old,' and is stated to be not later than the 10th century A. D. The present inscription is incised on the lower part of a pillar of this *Sabhāmaṇḍapa*. It is dated in V.S. 1162 (*c.* 1105 A D.) in the reign of Pṛthvīdeva³ and records the building of the temple by one Haṭhada, son of Mohila.⁴
