proves it. The name of Bhuvanasimha occurs in the Sisodā branch of Guhilotas.” The statement regarding him from the Jain inscription referred to above, however, finds no support from other sources. It seems that he might have been a contemporary of Samarasimha, but it is certain that he did not succeed Samarasimha.
According to the same Jain inscription Bhuvanasisha was succeeded by his son Jayasimha but the late Pt. Ojha places Bhimasimha between the two. The same Jain record states that Jayasimha was succeeded by Lakşmaṇasiṁha, the conqueror of the Mālava king Goga. Lakşmaṇasimha was followed by Ajayasimha, who, in his turn, was succeeded by his brother Arisimha. The Kumbhalagadh inscription of V.E. 1517 seems to indicate that Lakşmaṇasiṁha, after the surrender of Ratnasiṁha to Alā-ud-dīn, was raised to the throne of Mewar and so he and his sons reigned for a period before their deaths.
Guhila-putras of Naduladăgika: Only one member of this branch is known from the three dated Jain inscriptions of the reign of the Naddūla Cāhamāna Räyapāla (c. 1132-45 A.D.). The Naďlāi stone inscription bearing the date V.E. 1195 from the Jain temple of Neminātha, already described elsewhere," mentions one Thakkura Rājadeva, son of Rāuta (Rājaputra) Uddharana of the Guhila family who is stated to have granted 1/20th part of the income derived from the goods going to or coming from Nāduladāgika. It ends with the sign-manual of the donor-Svahastoyam Säbhijñāna pür. vakam Rāu Rājadeva.
The other two Jain inscriptions from Nadlāi dated V.E. 1200 and 1202 respectively of the same Cāhamāna Rāyapāla also refer to the gifts donated by one Răuta Rājadeva who in consideration of the matter of locality and time may be taken to be identical with that of the above inscription of the date V.E. 1195.7
Except his name and donations nothing more is known about him.
