Dvyāśrayakāvya Āśāka who is mentioned by Kumārapālaprabod baprabandha incoporated in Kumārapālacaritrasangraha.
Jayasimha's expedition against Avanti is noticed by Hemacandra and is supported by most of the inscriptions. He wanted to catch Yaśovarman and Kāli with his own hand.2 So he marched towards Avantis. Jayasimha reached Siprā river and Ujjaini was won by him. He began to break the fort of Ujjains and crossed it. He had a fight with the Mālvas but in the last Ujjainī was won.
According to Merutunga, the cause of the expedition against Mālavā is that when Jayasimha was on the pilgrimage to Somanātba together with his mother, Yasovarma lovaded AŅhilwāļ Pațţaņa. Santu, the minister of the regent Mayaņallā avoided him and in order to take revenge Jayasimha made an expedition against Yasovarma. The cause given by Hemacandra is that Jayasimha wanted to catch a Kāli.? Besides, it has been narrated in the Dhārādhavaṁsaprabandha in Purātanaprabandhasangrahas that Jayasimha was assisted by Jesal Paramara and the fight contipved for twelve years. The same story of Jayasimha's pilgrimage to Somanātha is related by James Burgess. This victory is also noted by Sukštakīrtikallolidīt, Kārtikaumudīt and by the
