Another of the deeds preserved in the Forms is a royal copperplate grant by Lavanaprasáda or Lávanyaprasáda of a village, not named, for the worship of Somanátha. Lavanaprasáda is described as the illustrious Ránaka, [652] the great chief, the local lord or Mandalesvara, the son of the illustrious Ránaka Ánalde born in the illustrious pedigree of the Chaulukya dynasty. The grant is noted as executed in the reign of Bhímadeva II. [653] while one Bhábhuya was his great minister. Though Bhímadeva was ruling in A.D. 1232 (Samvat 1288) Lavanaprasáda apparently had sufficient influence to make grants of villages and otherwise to act as the real ruler of Gujarát. It was apparently immediately after this grant (A.D. 1232?) that Lavanaprasáda abdicated in favour of Víradhavala. [654] [Víradhavala, A.D. 1233-1238.] Soon after his accession Víradhavala, accompanied by his minister Tejahpála, started on an expedition against his wife's brothers Sángana and Chamunda the rulers of Vámanasthalí or Vanthalí near Junágadh. As in spite of their sister's advice Sángana and Chamunda refused to pay tribute the siege was pressed. Early in the fight the cry arose 'Víradhavala is slain.' But on his favourite horse Uparavata, Víradhavala put himself at the head of his troops, slew both the brothers, and gained the hoarded treasure of Vanthalí. [655] In an expedition against the chief of Bhadresvara, probably Bhadresar in Kacch, Víradhavala was less successful and was forced to accept the Kacch chief's terms. The chroniclers ascribe this reverse to three Rájput brothers who came to Víradhavala's court and offered their services for 3,00,000 drammas (about £7500). "For 3,00,000 drammas I can raise a thousand men" said Víradhavala, and the brothers withdrew. They went to the court of the Bhadresar chief, stated their terms, and were engaged. The night before the battle the brothers sent to Víradhavala saying 'Keep ready 3000 men, for through a triple bodyguard we will force our way.' The three brothers kept their word. They forced their way to Víradhavala, dismounted him, carried off his favourite steed Uparavata, but since they had been his guests they spared Víradhavala's life. [656]
