Jayavarman (reigned c. 1142-43 CE), also known as Ajayavarman, was an Indian king from the Paramara dynasty, who ruled in the Malwa region of central India.
Sometime later, an usurper named Ballala became the control of the city, and Jayavarman appears to have moved to a newly created principality in the Bhopal area.
Amid these circumstances, Jayavarman appears to have moved to the Bhopal region, closer to the territory of his south-eastern neighbours, the Kalachuris of Tripuri.
The inscription records the confirmation of these grants by his brother Lakshmivarman, so it appears that Jayavarman lost the newly created principality of Bhopal, possibly to an invasion from the east by the Chandela king Madanavarman.
Sometime before 1190, Jayavarman's son Vindhyavarman regained control of a substantial part of the former Paramara territory,[9] possibly during the reign of the Chaulukya king Mularaja II.
[4] Tod presented the inscription to the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland in 1824; it was later moved to the British Museum in London.
[13] Vatakhetaka may be identified with present-day Barkheda; Chandrapuri was possibly located around modern Bhopal area, where Jayavarman stayed during the Chaulukya occupation of Malwa, and made the grant of Mayamodaka.
