v2.c34.s1.127.4

As we have inscriptions of Kīrtipāla's son Samarasiṁha dated in 1182 A.D., the restoration of the Guhila power appears to have occurred sometime before this date. The contemporary Caulukya prince may have been Ajayapāla (*c.* 1173-76), or any of his two immediate successors, Mūlarāja II (*c.* 1176-78 A.D.) and Bhīmadeva II (*c.* 1178-1241 A.D.). The inscriptions Nos. 3-7 of Sāmantasiṁha, if they really belong to him, seem to indicate that he took full advantage of the weakness of the Caulukyas during the period *c.* 1176-1202 A D. to recover his power to some extent and even extend his authority across the Aravalli Range into the Sirohi and Jodhpur States.
