[p.56]: Piparia is a deserted village a mile from Fatahpur, which is 27 miles from Hata. It appears that a battle was fought there and memorials were raised on the spot where the warriors fell. There are five pillars depicting the scene of fight, two of which are dated. Both record the date as Friday, the 11th of the dark fortnight of Ashvina in samvat 1198 , corresponding to the Friday 29th August 1141 AD, when King Mahamandalika Ranaka Jayatsimha (राणक जयत्सिंह) fought with prince Hemasimha (हेमसिंह). Jayatsimha is shown as pursuing the enemy. He has killed a prince, who is lying on the ground while Maharajaputra Gopaladeva is after prince Ranashaila(रणशैल). Another prince Damodara rides a huge horse named Simhamani (सिंहमणि) and is chasing four princes, who are running away. One is down on the ground.
