Reign

Mahipala II succeeded his father Jayasimha I.[1]

The paliya inscription (VS 1435/1378 CE) at Osa near Junagadh mentions that Junagadh was under thanadar named Mahamalik Muhammad Sadik and Raul Mahipaladeva. So it seems that Junagadh was ruled by thanadar under governor of Gujarat. At the time of this inscription, Farhat-ul-Mulk Rasti Khan was governor of Gujarat who was under Delhi Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq. The inscription (VS 1437/1381 CE) in Sudavav, a stepwell in Mahuva, Bhavnagar mentions Mahipala and his another younger brother Satyaraja.[2][1]

He recovered Vanthali from Amarsingh and Jetsingh, the descendants of Jagatsingh.[1]

Mahipala II was succeeded by his brother Mokalasimha, also known as Muktasimha in 1384 CE.[1]

Notes
  1. Older chronology mentions him as Mahipala V.[1]

gollark: Power is fine, it's just the fact that the game is jittering a bit and it's hard to do anything with all the bots.
