But the struggle still went on, and about 1226 A.D. Iltutmish undertook another campaign, in which he is reported to have captured Mandor, which according to the Sundha hill-inscription was one of Udayasiṁha's possessions. According to the Sundha inscription, Udayasiṁha was 'a scholar, conversant with the great works of Bharata¹ and others, and built two Śiva temples at Jāvālipura. His queen was Prahlādanadevī who bore him two sons Cācigadeva and Cāmuṇḍarāja.² A Bhinmal inscription shows that Udayasiṁha had another son named Vāhaḍasiṁha,³ while the Jain writers indicate that he had also a daughter who was married to Vīrama, the eldest son of the Dholka Caulukya Vīradhavala.⁴ A MS. of Rāmacandra's *Nirbhayabhīma-vyāyoga* is dated in (V.) S. 1306, in the victorious reign of *Mahārājakula* Udayasiṁhadeva.⁵ At the end of his work entitled *Vivekavilāsa*, Jinadatta tells us that he wrote it for the gratification of Dhanapāla of the Vāyada family, who was looked upon as son by Devapāla, the treasury minister of Udayasiṁha of the Cāhavāna dynasty and the lord of Jāvālipura.⁶
