According to the Sundha hill-inscription, Samarasimha built extensive ramparts on the Kanakācala or ‘golden hill,’¹ and founded the town of Samarapura. The latter place has not yet been identified; but Ojha’s suggestion that \*Kanakācala\* is the name of the fort of Jalor² is generally accepted. This conclusion is supported by the phrase \*Śrī-Jāvāli-purīya-kāñcana-giri-gaḍhasyopari\* which occurs in Samarasimha’s second inscription.³ Kielborn identified this Samarasimha with \*the Cahu(māna)-rāṇa(ka) Samarasīha\*, whose daughter Līlādevī was married to the Caulukya Bhīma II.⁴ - [Previous: v2.c32.s7.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c32.s7.14) - [Next: v2.c32.s7.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c32.s7.16) - [Up: v2.c32.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c32.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c32.s7.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v2.c32.s7.15) · Pramāṇa
