v2.c34.s1.138

According to the Abu inscription of Samarasiṁha¹ (V.S. 1342) and the Sadadi² (V.S. 1496) and Kumbhalgarh³ (V.S. 1517) in-scriptions of Kumbha, Kumārasiṁha was succeeded by his son⁴ Mathanasiṁha and the latter by his son Padmasiṁha.⁵ No in-scriptions are known for the reigns of these two princes. The only light upon the subject comes from the Chirwa inscription of Samarasiṁha (V.S. 1330).¹ This states that Mathanasiṁha appointed Uddharaṇa of the Tāṁtaraḍa family² to the post of the *Talārakṣa*³ of the city of Nāgadraha (Nagda). His duties are probably indicated by the words *duṣṭa-śiṣṭa-śikṣaṇa-rakṣaṇa-dakṣtva*⁴ used by the *praśastikāra* to praise him. Uddharaṇa, we are told, had 8 sons, of whom the eldest, Yogarāja, was appointed as *Talāra* in the same city by Padmasiṁha.
