defeat of Samaraketu at the hands of Vajrayudha due to
the magic power of the B膩l膩ru峁嘺 ring and the former's
capture and subsequent friendship with Hariv膩hana, the
69 son of his opponent Meghav膩hana: The Udayapura Pra-
sasti speaks of the Turks and others as being defeated
by the contingents or a general of Bhoja and not by
Bhoja himself. He was certainly not one of those who
fought with Mahmud at Soman膩tha. Perhaps, as suggested
by Col. Luard and Mr. Lele on the gh strength of a
statement in the Tabkat-i-Akbari, it was due to Bhoja's
efforts to intercept the defiler of the temple built by
him and by his feudatory Calukya Bhima that Mahmud went
back with his plunder through the western part of the
70 71
desert of Multan. His revenge over Tailappa II, his
enmity with the Chedi kingdom on the east and with the
Kar峁嚹佱弓aka king in the south were almost hereditary and
more disastrous. Having subjugated Jayasimha after a
long conflict of nine years (1010-1019 A.D.), Bhoja
annexed Konka峁嘺 to his kingdom as is confirmed by a J谩in
78 inscription known as the Kaly膩峁嘺 plates of Yasovarman.
