POLITICAL HISTORY OF N. INDIA FROM JAIN SOURCES
of these sages, the Guru Säntisena, teacher of Vijayakīrti, is said to have held a sabhā before king Bhojadeva and defeated hundreds of disputants who had assailed Ambaraşena and other learned men.
The prose passage, commencing in line 54, records that the Maharājādhirāja Vikramasimha 'for the building of the temple and for keeping it in good repair, as well as for purpose of worship, assigned a tax of one viņšopaka on each goņi (of grain) and gave a piece of land in the village of Mahācakra, capable of being sown with four goạis of wheat, and a garden with a well to the east of Rājakadraha; and that he also provided a certain amount of oil for lamps and for annointing the bodies of holy men. The praśasti was written on stone by Udayarāja and engraved by the Silākūța Tilhaņa. The date V.E. 1145 (A.D. 1088) comes in the last line.
It seems that Vikramasimha was the last prince of this branch. No successor is known of him from any source.
