Slab IX ;. Canto VIII In the year 1714, in the month of Jyështha, while encamping on the banks of the Chhāini river, he (Rājasimha) heard the news of Auramgajēba's becoming the lord of Dillī, whereupon he sent his brother Arisimha (to the lord of Dillī). He went as far as the Simha river. The lord of Dill conferred on Arisimha the country of Dūrngarapura and others. Arisimha gave all those to his brother Rājasimha who, being pleased, did his brother due honour by presenting them to him.
In the year 1714, when Auramgajēba waged war against his brother Sūja, Rājasimha sent his Bon Siradārasimha (Sardärsingh) to the assistance of Aurargajëba. Siradārasimha won the latter's favour by his heroism and got from him horses, elephants and lands as presents which he (Siradārasimha) placed at the disposal of his father (Rājasimha). The latter, being pleased, gave all those to him (Siradārasimha) back.
In the year 1716, he invited Giridhara through the Thakkuras, and made him a Rävala, placing him in charge of Dūmgarapura. The Rāvala served Rājasimha loyally.
In the year 1716, in the month of Srāvana, the king (Rājasimha) went against the country of Vasāda (Vasad in Mandasor territory). Răvata Harisimha negotiated through Jhālā Sulatāna, Rāva Sabalasimha Chauhan, Rävala Raghunātha Chödāvata and Saktāvata Muhakamasimha and coming from Devaliya (Deoliā) took refuge under Rājasimha, paying him a tribute of 50,000 rupees, along with a pair of elephants, the male one's name being Manarāvata.
In the year 1715, on Tuesday, the 9th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Vaišākha (date irregular), by the order of Rājasimha his minister Phatochanda set out against Vámgavāla (Bānswära), taking with him cavalry 5,000 strong. He vanquished Rävala Samarasimha and made him pay 100,000 rupees as a tribute, a bull-elephant, & cow-elephant, ten villages and right to custom duty (dēša-dana) and also made the Rävala a vassal of Rājasimha. The king (Rājasimha) returned to the Rävala the ten villages, the right to custom duty, and 20,000 rupees (out of the 100,000 rupees).
Again, at the command of Rājasimha, Phatēchanda destroyed Dēvaliyá and put to flight its chief Harisimha. Harisimha's mother presented her grandson Pratāpasimha to Phatēchanda
