The Solankis and Vaghelas have been described in inscriptions as powerful monarchs ruling over Gujarat and Kathiawad and while they have built numerous wells and temples it is surprising that they never exercised the right of coining money. A few tiny copper pieces in Prof. Hodiwala's collection with the inscription Srimajjayasimha are hesitatingly assigned to Siddharaja Jayasimha but besides those pieces no coin of any of the rulers is available in Gujarat which can with certainty be assigned to any one of them."

This vain-glorious passage is preceded by the usual vamsavali, beginning with Mularaja I, and ending with Bhimadeva II. But after naming the latter and giving his titles, and just before the enumeration of Jayantasimha's own titles, follow the significant words tadanantaram sthane, 'after him (Bhima) in (his) place.' Considering these statements, and the further assertion, in the preamble to the grant, that Jayantasimha ruled over the Vardhipathaka and the Gambhuta pathaka, it is evident that he was a usurper who supplanted Bhima for a time. As one of Bhima's own grants (No. 5) is dated in 1283 Vikrama and from Anahilapataka, it follows that Jayantasimha, who dates his grant in 1280 Vikrama, must have been ejected by the rightful owner soon after issuing the grant."
