Rivalry with the King JayachandraĪccording to the text, Prithviraj Raso, Prithviraj Chauhan eloped with Samyogita, the daughter of Jayachandra when he was the ruler of the Gahadavala kingdom.
Chandravati Paramara ruler Dharavarsha was the ruler of Mount Abu at that time. Later, he attempted an attack on Mount Abu, which was a failure. However, these claims were rejected by some historians by stating that Bhima was not responsible for the killing as he was a child at the time of Prithviraj’s father’s death. In the text Prithviraj Raso, it is mentioned that the seven sons of Bhima’s uncle Sarangadeva were killed by Kanhadeva, the uncle of Prithviraj, and in retribution, the father of Prithviraj was killed by Bhima, who seized Nagor dynasty in Rajasthan. However, he was on a peace agreement with Bhima II, the Chaulukya (Solanki) king of Gujarat. According to the text Kharatara-Gachchha-Pattavali, by this time, he became a Digvijay (conquest of all the regions) and went on to conquer Jejakabhukti. Thereafter, he attacked Paramardi as mentioned in the texts Sarangadhara Paddhati and Prabandha Chintamani. The texts Prithviraj Raso, Paramal Raso, and Alha-Raso state that later, he conquered Chandela territory. As per the verses Kharatara-Gachchha-Pattavali, in 1182 CE, Prithviraj conquered the kingdom of Bhadanakas, who were the rulers of the territories Bhiwani, Rewari, and Alwar. Prithviraj defeated the son of his uncle and his cousin Nagarjuna as both of them were struggling for the Chahamana kingdom. Dasharatha Sharma, a noted historian, claimed in one of his writings that the young Prithviraj started administering his kingdom in his own way in 1180 CE. However, these claims were not cited in the book Prithviraja Vijaya and some historians also refused the same. As a result, Prithviraj killed Kadambavasa.
It added that Kadambavasa was also blamed for his involvement in the conspiracy for the repeated Muslim invasions. The book Prithviraj Raso states that once, Kadambavasa was captured by Prithviraj with his mistress Karnati. Bhuvanaikamalla, the paternal uncle of Prithviraj’s mother, was granted an important seat in the ministry.
His mother held the responsibility of the administration along with the chief minister of the kingdom, Kadambavasa, who was also known by the names Kaimasa, Kaimash, or Kaimbasa, and according to the book Prithviraja Vijaya, Kadambavasa was responsible for the initial victories of the kingdom in the battlefield. Soon, he was enthroned as the king of Chahamana and moved to Ajmer from Gujarat. His father, Someshvara, who was popularly known as Prithviraja II, died in 1177 CE when Prithviraj Chauhan was eleven years old.
