It is thus during this reign that Altamash raided Malwa and destroyed the temple of Mahākāla at Ujjain in 1235 A. D. Malwa was not finally subjected to Mahomedan rule till many years after this event and descendants of Devapāla ruled in Malwa viz: 1 Jayatungadeva (1240-1256), 2 Jayavarman (1256-1261), 3 Jayasinha (1261-1280), 4 Bhoja II (1280-1301) and 5 Jayasinha whose inscription dated 1309 A. D. has been found at Udepur. Malwa was finally reduced about this time by Ain-ul-mulk a governor from Delhi who reduced Chanderi, Ujjain, Dhar and Mandu (Luard and Lele). Thus ended the great Paramāra line of Malwa after a brilliant career of four centuries. The present representative of the Paramāras are in Malwa the princes of Rajgadh and Narasinggadh of Narsingarh (Bhopal agency) and the chief of Bijolia in Mewad (Gaurishankar Ojha in Tod's Rajastan).
