most loved person of the Bhūvada tax collectors. J mba even converted the tax collection in gold.
After collecting all taxes, the date for the return of tax collectors to Kaly was fixed. With great care, J mba apprised Vanar ja secretly about the date and route of the return of Bhūvada tax collectors.
Vanar ja took four times the number of soldiers that came with tax collectors of Bhūvada with him. He camped behind trees at an appropriate place on the route of tax collectors return.
As soon as the tax collectors entered that forest, Vanar ja with his soldiers attacked them. Soldiers of Bhūvada could not face the devastating attack of the soldiers of Vanar ja. Very soon soldiers of Bhūvada were devastated and got killed.
From this attack, Vanar ja got twenty four lakh gold coins, 400 horses, many elephants, arms and armaments etc. After collecting such a huge amount of wealth, Vanar ja mobilised a strong army and started recapturing his ancestral Kingdoms. Bhūvada came to know from his secret agents that Vanar ja has mobilised a large and strong army. So Bhūvada decided to move towards Gujarat.
Over a period of time, Vanar ja kept on adding more and more regions of Gujarat in his Empire and ultimately became the king of large and powerful Bhūvada-Gurjara region and empire.
On the day of Ak aya Tty in Vikram 802, as per his own vow and directions of his guru lagu a, he laid the foundation stone of A ahillapura Pa a on the land identified by his guru. Mah rj Vanar ja also had his anointing done by her sister-in religion r Dev when he occupied the throne of C potka a dynasty. He also appointed rm 1 Jain J mba (other name C mpar ja) his minister as per his vow and promise made earlier in the forest. Heir of J mba and his descendents kept on providing their services to Gurjara rulers and the name of J mba lineage as ministers of Gurjara rulers became very famous in Gujarat.
