The victory of Siddharāja over Naravarma after the continuation of war for twelve years, which is mentioned by Merutungal and D.C. Ganguly, is not mentioned by Hemacandra. Similarly according to Someśvara, Jayasimha overpowered the king of Gauda. It is also omitted by Hemacandra.
Because all these invasions by Jayasimha were for the expansion of his territory, perhaps, that is why they are omitted by Hemacandra.

iv. Unethical actions of Caulukya king are omitted by Hemacandra.
