General definition (in Hinduism)
: archive.org: Rajasthan Distict Gazetteers JalorUdayasimha, who succeeded his father Samarsimha was one of the greatest of the Chahamana rulers of Jalor (Jalora). His earliest known inscription is of the year 1262 v.s. Udayasimha, not satisfied with the principality of Jalor, launched an expansionist policy to restore the lost grandeur of the Chahamana power in Rajasthan. He captured Nadol and Mandor at the cost of the ulers of Delhi, most probably Aramshah and perhaps even Iltutmish. In short, he ruled over the districts of Nadol, Jabalipura, Mandavyapura, Vagbhatameru, Surachanda, Ratahrada, Kheda, Ramasainys, Srimala, Ratanpura, Satyapura etc. He thus extended his territories from Mandor to Sanchore and Mallani to Godwar.
About the year v.s. 1278 (1221 a.d.), Udayasimha organised a confederacy, consisting of the rulers of Lata, Godraha, Chandravat, Mewar and Marwar against Lavanaprasada the all powerful minister and de facto ruler of Gujarat. In the fight that ensued Udayasimha was wounded on the head by Lavanaprasada but the victory, however, remained with Udayasimha and his allies.
: archive.org: Gazetteer Of India Rajasthan BarmerSamara Simha succeeded his father Kiratpala in Sonalgarh. His inscriptions bear the date 1182 AD. His son Udayasimha came to the throne after him. It appears that he ruled from 1205 to 1249 A.D. and seems to have been a strong ruler for he asserted his supremacy over Nadula, Jabalipura, Mandavyapura, Vagbhatameru, Surachanda, Ratahrada, Kheda and Satyapura. Mandavyapura is Mandor, Vagbhatameru is Barmer, Surachanda remains Surachanda, Ratahrada is Raddhuda in Mallani, Kheda is Khed and Satyapura is Sanchor.
Udayasimha’s terntory thus extended from Mandor to Sanchor and from Mallani to Godwar Iltutmish invested the fort of Jalore between 1211 and 1216 A.D. but Udayasimha, who capitulated after strenuous resistance, was allowed to retain his territory by the Sultan He was succeeded by bis son Chachiga (before 1262 AD) who claims to have destroyed the power of the Vaghela Viramadeva of Gujerat

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संसà¥à¤•ृतमà¥� (²õ²¹á¹ƒs°ìá¹›t²¹³¾), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
