POLITICAL HISTORY OF N. INDIA FROM JAIN SOURCES reign of Bhīma II, but they practically belong to ministers Vastupāla and Tejahpāla.
All these Jain inscriptions and the colophons noted above certainly furnish some information about Bhīma's ministers, generals and feudatories. The colophon of V.E. 1247 of Jain MS refers to Sobhanadeva as the general (dandanāyaka) and Ratnasimha as the mahattama. The inscription of V.E. 1256 records Abhayada and Vasantapāla as the son and the grandson respectively of the dandanāyaka of Kumārapāla. The Ābu inscription of V.E. 1287 mentions that Somasimha of the Paramāra family of Ābu and Lavaņaprasāda and his son Víradhavala were the feudatories of Bhīma. One colophon of V.E. 1296 records that Vīramadeva was the Mahamandalesvara Rānaka in Vidyutpura in the reign of Bbīma.? This Vīramadeva has been taken as identical with the son of Lavaņaprasāda noted above. Another colophon of V.E. 1296 refers to one mahamatya and dandanayaka Srītata, in charge of the seal and insignia.3 The Uncha inscription of Ajayapālā (V.E. 1231 ) also mentions this Tāta as dandanāyaka. It seems that by that time when the colophon was written he must have been very old.
