THE DYNASTIES OF RAJASTHANA
of Candrāvati.' The Kumarapala-carita refers to this event in these words: the Caulukya king Kumārapāla suppressed the rebellion of Vikramasimha the lord of Candravati and having imprisoned him, installed his nephew Yasodhavala in his place."
Yasodhavala: Yasodhavala of the above two Jain works is, undoubtedly, identical with the prince of that name mentioned as the son of Ramadeva in the Luna temple epigraph of Mt. Abu. It is referred to there that he killed Ballala, the lord of Malava, when the latter became hostile to the Caulukya prince. It appears, therefore, that he was a vassal of Kumarapala (c. 114473 A.D.). The above references prove that Vikramasimha was a brother of Rāmadeva and might have been placed in Candrāvatī as his feudatory by Jayasimha Siddharaja (c. 1094-1144 A.D.). The period, known from the inscriptions of Yasodhavala, is from V.E. 1202 to 1208 (A.D. 1146-1152).
Dhärävarṣa: According to the same Jain inscription Yasodhavala was succeeded by his son Dhārāvarsa who claimed to have defeated the lord of Koikana, no doubt, in the interests of his sovereign the Caulukya Kumarapala. The name of this Konkaṇādhisa is mentioned in the Dvyasrayakavya as Mallikarjuna, as a southern enemy of Kumarapala. The late Pt. G. H. Ojha has discovered so far fourteen stone inscriptions and one copper plate ranging from V.E. 1220 (c. 1163 A.D.) to V.E. 1276 (c. 1219 A.D.), on the reign of Dhārāvarṣa. We have fortunately two Jain inscriptions and one colophon of the Jñatadharmakatha-Ratnacuda-katha for the date of his reign besides stray literary references.
