v2.c32.s6.69

It is thus clear that Ratnapāla had either ousted his uncle Āśārāja from Nadol sometime between *c.* 1110 and 1119 A. D., or that he had succeeded his uncle Jojalladeva sometime after *c.* 1090 A. D. In the former case, which appears more likely, we have an adequate motive for his subordination to Jayasiṁha. Apparently from his base round Bali he was trying to recover his throne with the assistance of the Caulukyas. The following inscriptions of his son the *Mahārājādhirāja* Rāyapāla, bearing dates from 1189 to 1202 V.S. (*c.* 1132-1145 A.D.), which were discovered not far from Nadol, seems to indicate that this prince held it during those years.
