the Paramāra king of Abu, is said to have made the wives of the king of Konkana weep.18 This Dbārāvarsha was a feudatory of Kumārapala and seems to have accompanied Āmbada in his expedition against Mallikārjuna.
Other evidence shows that Ambada was the Governor of Lāta deśa. It seems, therefore, that Ambada was given the command of an army sent against Mallikarjuna and Dhárāvarsha and Someśvara accompanied him. In the decisive battle that was fought against Mallikarjuna, Someśvara and Dhärāvarsha seem to have per. formed prodigies of valour and that is why Jayā. naka and Someśvara ( author of the Prasasti in Tejahpāla's temple ) give credit of defeating Mallikarjuua to Someśvara, son of Arnorāja, and Dhárāvarsha respectively. The chroniclers give the credit of defeating Mallikarjuna to Ambada because he was the commander of the army.
This Mallikarjuna was the Silbāra King of Thànā. He was the son of Harapala Silbára. Kumarapala and Ajayapāla. Somegvars gave the village of Revans to Pärsvanaths. When he died, his son was & minor (Journal, Bengal Asiatic Society, N. S. XXV, p. 195 ).
