Mandalika III

[1][4] During Mahipala's life, he installed Mandalika on the throne and all the neighbouring chiefs offered presents except Sangan Vadhel of Bet Dwarka.

[1][4] At this time the Sultan of Ahmedabad sent him a message complaining that Duda Gohil was ravaging his territory and requesting Mandalika to restrain him.

Dudo's army was now put to the rout and Mandalika returned and made a triumphal entry into Junagadh after sacking and destroying Arthila.

Vinjal was attacked by leprosy and consequently resolved to make a pilgrimage to Banaras, and failing to be cured there to perish in the snows of Kailash.

When he reached the stream, now called Gangajalio, between Vadal and Kathrota, he there met a man bearing his daily supply of water of Ganga river which was sent to him each day.

Mandalika who had heard much of the beauty of her son's wife, went to Monia on the pretext of hunting in order to see her and was so inflamed by her charms that he placed his hand on her bosom.

Lord of the Gadh, your body was so pure from water of Ganga, that you cleansed Vinja of leprosy, but bestowed on me nails, Oh Mandalika?

[3] In 1467 CE, Gujarat Sultan Mahmud Begada attacked Junagadh but on receiving the submission of Mandalika returned to his capital Ahmedabad.

In 1472–73 CE, after a siege of nearly two years, forced by the failure of his stores, Mandalika surrendered, and his dominions were annexed to the Gujarat Sultanate.

[3][5][6] Sultan Mahmud Begada changed the name of Junagadh to Mustafabad and built the fortifications round the town and the Jumma mosque in the Uparkot.

He sent also for Syad Kazis and other Muslims and gave them jagirs and official appointments and directed them to spread the religion of Islam.

[3] From this date to the close of the Gujarat Sultanate, Junagadh was governed by an official appointed direct from Ahmedabad styled Thanadar.

This official collected the tribute and revenue of the crown domain but the Sultan also placed Mandalika's descendant Bhupatsingh in Junagadh as a Jagirdar.

The Jagir allotted to Bhupatasimha was the Sil Bagasra Chovisi and his descendants, known as Raizada, continued to live there but he resided in Junagadh.
