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. Recapture of Dhara Jayavarman succeeded his father Yashovarman as the Paramara king. The relationship between Jayavarman and Yashovarman is confirmed by the Piplianagar inscription of their descendant Arjunavarman, which calls Jayavarman "Ajayavarman". During Yashovarman's reign, the Chaulukyas from the west had captured a large part of the Paramara kingdom, as attested by the 1138 CE Ujjain inscription of the Chaulukya king Jayasimha Siddharaja.

Harivamsa Purana
was composed by Acharya Jinasena in 783 AD. It is divided into 66 cantos and contains 12,000 slokas. The book aims to narrate the life of Neminatha, the twenty-second Tirthankara in Jainism. According to the Jain sources, Krishna is the first cousin of Tirthankara Neminatha. Therefore, Krishna's adventures too occupy a significant portion of the book. Harivamsa Purana suggests that Draupadi was married to only Arjuna as opposed to Hindu traditional accounts which suggests that she was married to all five Pandavas. Synopsis In general, all Jaina Harivamśa narratives go far beyond what one might consider to be fitting for the ''Harivamśa'', i.e. the story of Krishna and his relatives, or Mahabharata material. They consist of four larger parts: (1) ''Harivamśa'', including the story of Krishna, his ancestors and progeny; (2) ''Nemicarita'', the biography of the 22nd Tīrthankara, Krishna’s cousin; (3) ''Pāndavacarita'', containing the central narrative of the ''Mahab ...

Rajput
Rajput (from Sanskrit ''raja-putra'' 'son of a king') is a large multi-component cluster of castes, kin bodies, and local groups, sharing social status and ideology of genealogical descent originating from the Indian subcontinent. The term Rajput covers various patrilineal clans historically associated with warriorhood: several clans claim Rajput status, although not all claims are universally accepted. According to modern scholars, almost all Rajput clans originated from peasant or pastoral communities. Over time, the Rajputs emerged as a social class comprising people from a variety of ethnic and geographical backgrounds. During the 16th and 17th centuries, the membership of this class became largely hereditary, although new claims to Rajput status continued to be made in the later centuries. Several Rajput-ruled kingdoms played a significant role in many regions of central and northern India from seventh century onwards. The Rajput population and the former Rajput stat ...
