________________ their lives for their motherland. Fighting valiantly till the last breath, R wala Ratanasimha along with his sons, grandsons and warriors et al sacrificed his life protecting his motherland. When Padmin Dev , wife of R wala Ratanasimha was informed that her husband along with his warriors embraced heroic death slaughtering the enemy's force, she too with thousands of R jap ta women performed self-immolation and saved the pride and honour of R jap tas. All udd na established his authority over a necropolis-like Cittauda and appointed his son Khijara Kh na as its ruler. After invading and annexing Cittauda, All udd na besieged the fort of Siv in Vikram 1365. The King tala Deva Cauh na, defending his fort died in the battlefield. Thus All udd na occupied this territory too. Next he attacked J laura in Vikram 1368. King K nhada Deva and Prince V ramadeva fought bravely devastating the enemy force, but both died in the battlefield defending their fort. All udd na annexed and established his authority over J laura. Thus the great R jap ta kingdoms Ra athambhaura, Siv and J laura came to an end. Mahr Ham ra defeating the Muslims established his authority over Cittauda in Vikram 1382. The subsequent political events like riots, invasions by Muslims, fall of Hindu kingdoms, origin of new Hindu dynasties, glory and decline, forcible religious conversions at sword point, plunder, loot, confiscation, holocaust etc. are filled with multiplicity of such events that even if only 5 lines are written on each event, it forms a a separate historical text in itself. The size of the present series has grown so large that we stop here and bid farewell to the readers at this juncture and humbly request the readers to read the subsequent Jain and India history and events in the concerned texts. -00000000000 239
