________________ Kumārapāla invaded Ballāla who was assisting Anna, an enemy of Kumārapāla. Some other informations which have semi-historical importance are also found in Prakrit Dvyāśrayakāvya. In the co ntext of geographical names, the boundaries of the Kings particularly some cities are referred to in the Dvyāśraya. But these informations are to be interpreted carefully before reaching at a conclusion, Hemacandra as a historian has given a few proper names e. g, Śrīmāla, Grāharipu. Durņasa, Jambuka and Jehula, Durlabhadevī, Laksmī, Hammuka, Bhadrabhața, Cāhada, Vijaya, and Kệsņaka etc. These names are either accurate or in the case of enemies appear to be coined. Some new religious information is also given by Hemacandra. A substantial portion of historical information rendered by Hemacandra is supporated by either inscriptions of the Caulukya dynasty; or contemporary literary sources or modern historians using a number of sources. Such details had been given by me in my book cited above pp. 102-113 and need not delay us here. The omissions made by Hemacandra are important because they have been knowingly made by Hemacandra. The early life of a king full of conflicts of events leading to kingship has not been rendered by Hemacandra e. g. Mūlarāja's, Siddharāja's and that of Kumārapāla's. The absconding of the kings from the battle-field have been ignored by Hemacandra e. g. annals of Mūlarāja, Bhimadeva etc. A few battles e. g. Jayasimha invading Ādhīra
