Simhana
Simhana ( IAST: Siṃhaṇa, also transliterated as Singhana; r. c. 1210-1246 was the most powerful ruler of the Seuna (Yadava) dynasty of Deccan region in India. He expanded his kingdom southwards at the expense of the Hoysalas, and fought the Chaulukyas and the Vaghelas for the control of the Lata region in the north. He also defeated the Paramaras of Malwa, the Shilaharas of Kolhapur and the Rattas of Belgaum. His generals subjugated several insubordinate feudatory chiefs, and the Yadava territory reached its greatest extent during his reign. Early life Simhana, whose name is also transliterated as Singhana, was the son of his predecessor Jaitugi. His birth was believed to have been a result of the blessings of the goddess Narasimhi of Parnakheta. Therefore, he was named after this goddess. It is not clear when Simhana ascended the throne. Jaitgui's last known inscription is dated 1196, and Simhana's earliest known inscription is dated 1197. However, other inscriptions ...

Seuna (Yadava) Dynasty
The Seuna, Sevuna, or Yadavas of Devagiri (IAST: Seuṇa, –1317) was a Medieval Indian dynasty, which at its peak ruled a kingdom stretching from the Narmada river in the north to the Tungabhadra river in the south, in the western part of the Deccan region. Its territory included present-day Maharashtra, North Karnataka and parts of Madhya Pradesh, from its capital at Devagiri (present-day Daulatabad in modern Aurangabad district, Maharashtra). The Yadavas initially ruled as feudatories of the Western Chalukyas. Around the middle of the 12th century, as the Chalukya power waned, the Yadava king Bhillama V declared independence. The Yadava kingdom reached its peak under Simhana II, and flourished until the early 14th century, when it was annexed by the Khalji dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate in 1308 CE. Etymology The Seuna dynasty claimed descent from the Yadavas and therefore, its kings are often referred to as the "Yadavas of Devagiri". The correct name of the dynasty ...

Jaitugi
Jaitugi (r. c. 1191-1200), also known as Jaitrapala, was a ruler of the Seuna (Yadava) dynasty of Deccan region in India. Early life Jaitugi was the son of his predecessor Bhillama V, who overthrew the Chalukya suzerainty to become independent. The last extant record from Bhillama's reign is dated August 1191, while the earliest extant record from Jaitugi's reign is dated December 1192. The Bijapur inscription, dated 25 December 1196, states that it was issued during the sixth year of Jaitugi's reign. These evidences suggest that Jaitugi ascended the throne in late 1191. Military career Victory over the Kakatiyas During the reign of his father Bhillama, Jaitugi participated in his father's wars against the Hoysala king Ballala II, resisting the enemy's attempts to capture Kalyani and Devagiri. Bhillama ultimately suffered a defeat against the Hoysalas. Taking advantage of weakened Yadava power, the Kakatiyas had invaded the eastern part of the Yadava kingdom. All three ...

Krishna Of Devagiri
Krishna (IAST: Kṛṣṇa, r. c. 1246-1261 CE), also known as Kanha or Kannara, was a ruler of the Seuna (Yadava) dynasty of Deccan region in India. He successfully invaded the Paramara kingdom of Malwa, and fought inconclusive wars against the Vaghelas and the Hoysalas. The Yadava inscriptions also credit him or his generals with several other victories, but these claims are of doubtful veracity. Early life Krishna was a grandson of the Yadava king Simhana, and succeeded Simhana presumably because his father Jaitugi II died before Simhana. An inscription dated 2 November 1248 was issued during the second year of Simhana's reign, and an inscription dated 25 December 1248 was issued during the third year of his reign. This suggests that Simhana ascended the throne in November or December 1246. In various Kannada inscriptions, Krishna's name appears as Kanha, Kanhara or Kandhara. Wars Krishna maintained the territory that he had inherited from his grandfather. The Yadava i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mahadeva Of Devagiri
Mahadeva (IAST: Mahā-deva, r. c. 1261-1270 CE) was a ruler of the Seuna (Yadava) dynasty of Deccan region in India. He succeeded his brother Krishna on the throne. Mahadeva defeated the Shilaharas of Kolhapur, and suppressed a rebellion by his Kadamba feudatories. He invaded the neighbouring kingdoms, but was forced to retreat by the Kakatiya queen Rudrama and the Hoysala king Narasimha II. The Yadava records also credit him with other military successes, but these claims may be exaggerated. Early life Mahadeva was a younger brother of his predecessor Krishna. Their father Jaitugi II seems to have died before their grandfather Simhana, because of which Krishna succeeded Simhana. Mahadeva assisted his brother in the administration, as attested by an inscription as well as the text ''Vedanta-kalpataru''. During Krishna's reign, Mahadeva was designated as the heir apparent (''yuvaraja'') since at least 1250, probably because Krishna's son Ramachandra had not been born, or was ...
