Gajaraja

Gajaraja, also known as Mahipala, was an early Chudasama king known only from the ballads and folklore of Saurashtra region of Gujarat, India.

[1][2] During his reign, the Raja Vachhraja (Vatsaraja) of Sirsa (now in Haryana) invaded Sorath and marched against Junagadh but was defeated and taken prisoner by Gajaraja.

Afterwards Gajaraja sent his senapati (general) Chudamani and an army to north and declared that he would give his daughter Motinade to whomsoever should be able to defeat him.

Chudamani marched to Mahoba where resided Ala and Udal, maternal cousins of Mal Khan, son of Vachhraja of Sirsa who had succeeded his father on the throne.

It is difficult to decide the correct dates of the king as the information about him is derived only from bardic tales and folklore.
