Prithvipala
Prithvi-pala (IAST: Pṛthvīpāla, r. c. 1080–1090 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Naddula Chahamana dynasty. He ruled the area around Naddula (present-day Nadol in Rajasthan). He achieved military successes against the Chaulukyas, the Paramaras of Vagada, and a Ghaznavid raider. Reign Prithvipala was eldest son of the Chahamana king Jendraraja. He succeeded his father on the throne of Naddula. According to the Sundha Hill inscription, Prithvipala defeated the Gurjara (Chaulukya) king Karna. The Shakambhari Chahamana king Vigraharaja III also claimed to have helped the Paramara king Udayaditya defeat Karna. Historian R. B. Singh theorizes that these three neighbouring kings (Prithvipala, Vigraharaja and Udayaditya) formed an alliance against Karna in order to curb his growing power. Another Chahamana inscription states that Prithvipala defeated a ruler named Mandalika at Rohadavapika. This ruler can be identified with a ruler of the Paramara branch of Vagada. ...

He was probably born after Prithvipala's death, or he was a minor at the time of his father's death. Because of this, Prithvipala was succeeded by his brothers Jojalladeva and Asharaja. Asharaja controlled the throne of Naddula at least until 1115 CE. An inscription states that one of his relatives captured Mandore, and Asharaja recaptured it. This relative was probably Ratnapala, who was trying to wrest control of the kingdom. By 1119 CE, Ratnapala had become the Chahamana king (''Maharajadhiraja''), as attested by a Sewari inscription.

Jojalladeva
Jojalla-deva (r. c. 1090–1110 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Naddula Chahamana dynasty. He ruled the area around Naddula (present-day Nadol in Rajasthan). The Chahamana records claim that he invaded the Chaulukya kingdom, and occupied their capital Anahilapataka. Reign Jojalladeva was a son of the Chahamana king Jendraraja. He is also known as Jojaladeva, Jojaka and Yojaka. He succeeded his elder brother Prithvipala on the throne of Naddula. According to the Sundha Hill inscription, Jojalladeva occupied the Chaulukya capital Anahillapura by force.
