have been defeated by Hammira (v. 11), he must be designated as Arjunavarman II in the genealogy of the Paramāra rulers of Mālwā, as stated by Pandit Gourishankar Hirāchand Ojha and is different from the king named Arjuna or Arjunavarman who ruled Mālwa, but died before Samvat 1275 (A.D. 1218) and consequently could not be the contemporary of Hammira of this record. In fact, he (Arjuna of this record) was the sixth in succession from Arjunavarman I and, therefore, must be the successor of Jayasimhadēva III of Malwa, who was defeated by Hammira's father Jaitrasimha. The defeat of Arjuna might have taken place between Samvat 1339 and 1345 (A.D. 1283 and 1288); that is, between the period of Hammira's accession and the date of this record.

Professor Kielhorn read this name as Avelledēvs (Ind. Ant., Vol. XIX, p. 218). Te same is written in Duff's Chronology, p. 184. The correct name, however, is Annalladéve.
