Reign

Ahila was the son of his predecessor Ashvapala.[1] According to the Chahamana records, he defeated the Chaulukya king Bhima I. The Chaulukya records do not mention this defeat.[2] Historian Dasharatha Sharma theorizes that Bhima invaded the Naddula kingdom to expand his territory, but was forced to retreat.[3]

Ahila appears to have died heirless, probably at a young age, as he was succeeded by his paternal uncle Anahilla.[2] The Nadol inscriptions of Alhana and prince Kirtipala omit Ahila's name from the genealogy of the Naddula Chahamana kings, presumably because they were not his descendants.[2]

gollark: Also, did you fix the bit which was in the first person?
gollark: Yes, I suppose that the other cube interactions are mostly related to the cube in some way.
gollark: Well, maybe after "caress the cube" you could get "translate the cube", and if you do that it then beeps ominously and you are teleported to the osmarks.net server room.
gollark: Oh, I see.
