History of Mediaeval Hindu India (being a History of India from 600 to 1200 A.D.) v3.c34.s6.61

v3.c34.s6.61

His son Mallikārjuna must have ruled long. He assumed the title Rājapitāmaha or grandfather of kings and this offended the Gujarat Chālukya king Kumārapāla who hence sent his general Ambada to conquer Konkan. A battle was fought near Balsad wherein Ambad was defeated; but Ambad returned again and Mallikārjuna was not only defeated but killed in battle by Jagadeva Paramāra as has already been told in Gujarat history. Mallikārjuna may be taken to have ruled from 1155 A. D. to 1175 A. D. He has left two grants dated 1156 and 1160 A. D. (Chiplun and Bassein) of which mention has been made by the Gazetteer but without reference as to where they are published.
