Damoh Stone Inscription of Vijayasimha

(Deposited in the Nagpur Museum)

This record is in Rajasthani and Sanskrit, the one being a free translation of the other. It recites that one Vijayapala was born in the Visvamitra gotra. He conquered a great hero named Kāī. His son was Bhuvanapala, whose son Harsharaja is stated to have defeated the kings of Kalanjara, Dahali (Dāhal), Gurjara and the Deccan, Harsharaja's son was Vijayasimha, a virtuous man devoted to Bhambhukadeva. He is said to have fought at Chittor, conquered the Delhi armies, scattered the Deccan forces close to Mahāgadh, and driven out the Gurjaras.

The absence of any regal title indicates that the persons named in the record were perhaps commanders of armies who overran a number of countries, including Dahala, the Kalachuris' kingdom, which included Damoh. They left no trace of their raid except this inscription, the language of which points to their home in Rajasthan.

It is possible that they may have been related to the Guhila Princes of Mevar. In that dynasty there was one Vijayasimha who married Syamaladevi, daughter of Udayaditya of Malwa, by whom he had a daughter Alhanadevi who married Gayakarna of Dahala. Unfortunately the stone is broken, so that if there was any date it is lost.

बटियागढ़

विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[1] ने लेख किया है .....बटियागढ़, जिला दमोह, म.प्र., (AS, p.602): मध्य प्रदेश का एक ऐतिहासिक स्थान है। इस स्थान पर विक्रम संवत 1385 ई. (=1328 ई.) का एक अभिलेख प्राप्त हुआ था (एपिग्राफिका इंडिया-12,42) जिसके बारे में विशेष बात यह है कि इसमें मुस्लिमों को शक कहा गया है। इस स्थान से प्राप्त अभिलेख में मुहम्मद तुग़लक़ का उल्लेख है। मुहम्मद तुग़लक़ के समय में सुल्तान की ओर से जुलचीख़ाँ नामक सूबेदार चंदेरी में नियुक्त था और सूवेदार का नायक बटियागढ़ में रहता था। उस समय इस नगर को बटिहाड़िम या बड़िहारिन कहते थे। प्राप्त अभिलेख में दिल्ली का एक नाम 'जोगिनीपुर' भी दिया हुआ है। एक दूसरा शिलालेख विक्रम संवत 1381 (=1324 ई.) का यहाँ के प्राचीन महल के खंडहरों में मिला है, जिसमें गयासुद्दीन तुगलक का उल्लेख है, जिसके सूबेदार ने इस महल को बनवाया था।
