________________ 144 POLITICAL HISTORY OF N. INDIA FROM JAIN SOURCES the last quarter of the 13th century is extremely obscure. The fact that Vägbhata was really a ruler of Ranathambhor is proved by the Balvan stone inscription of Hammira, the last Cāhamāna prince of this line. The Prabandha-kośa and the Muslim Chronicles mention his name as Bāhadadeva.? The Jain sources are not aware of his war with Ulugh Khān recorded by the Muslim Chronicles. Jaitrasimha: The Hammira-mahākāvya and the Prabandha-kośa state that Jaitrasimhadeva succeeded his father, Vägbhata. No political event of his period is recorded in the Jain sources. His queen's name was Hīrādevi." From her he had three sons Hammīra, Suratrāna and Virama. All of them were great warriors. In course of time, finding that his sons were now able to relieve him from the burden of government, Jaitrasimha one day talked over the matter with Hammira and after giving him excellent advice as to how he was to behave, he gave over the charge of the state to him and himself went to live in the forest. This happened in Şamvat 1339 (A.D. 1283). Hammiradeva (1283-1301 A.D.): The Hammira-mahākāvya records that Hammira ascended the throne in V.E. 1339 (A.D. 1283) and died in the 18th year of his reign (A.D. 1301), while the Prabandha-kośa mentions V.E. 1342 (A.D. 1286) as the year of his accession to the throne and V.E. 1358 (1301 A.D.) the year of his death in the battle.10 The Tarikh-i-Alāi also gives the date of his death as A.H. 700 (1301 A.D.).11 From his Balvan stone inscription we, however, get the date V.E. 1345 (1289 A.D.).12 1 EI., XIX, p. 49., V. 6. 2 SJGM., VI. p. 134.
