History
Rajatarangini [1] tells us that Though Janakasimha was advised not to fight, still he fought with the army of Bhikshachara (1120 AD) on the bridge before Sadashiva. There the proud soldiers of Janakasimha were unexpectedly defeated. Prithvihara accompanied by Alaka, his, brother's son, crossed over by another bridge and destroyed the enemy's army. When the citizens, the horsemen and the Tantris fled, Janakasimha with his friends fled at night and went to Lohara.
