Samantasimha (Guhila)

[4] After the death of its very powerful ruler Kumarapala in 1172 and ascension of his son Ajayapala, Samantsingh found it opportune to invade the territory of Gujarat.

Later, one of the feudatories of the Chalukyas, Dharavarsha of Chandravati, sent his younger brother, Prahalad who defeated and repelled Samantsingh.

[5] After the Battle of Kasahrada, Chaulukya King Mularaja passed away soon and was succeeded by Bhima II, who was a minor at the time.

This gave an opportunity to the Chahamana ruler of Jalore, Kirtipala to invade Mewar in 1179 and depose Samantsingh.

[6] After being expelled from Vagad, Samantsingh sought shelter under Prithviraja III of Ajmer with whom he participated in the Second battle of Tarain.
