When Siddharāja was thinking of raisingt he siege of Dhara, he posted his confidential emissaries in all the important places in the city They all began to talk on the capture of Dhära, and by this device succeeded in knowing that an attack on the southern gate would crown their labours with success. The king, knowing this fact, brought his army to the southern gate tower of the fort, and headed the assault in person His elephant Yasahpataha, then, broke two of the three gates. Siddharaja entered the city, and taking Yaśovarman prisoner, returned to Anabılavāda* - Jayasimba's victory orer Yasorarman of Malta is certainly historical.
