Only one inscription of Ratnasimha, the son of Samarasimha has as yet been found. This is his Dariba temple-inscription dated in (V.) S. 1359 (c. 1302 A.D.). It is engraved on a pillar in the temple of Mātājī at Dariba and records the gift of 16 drammas to the temple when the Mahārājakula Ratnasimha was ruling over Medapāta and while his chief minister was Mahaṇasiha.² The possession of Chitor by ‘Alā ud-Dīn Khaljī is proved by two inscriptions in that city dated in A. H. 705 (1306 A. D.) and 709 (c. 1310 A.D.) in his reign.³
