'''Jayata-simha''' ([[IAST]]: Jayatasiṃha, r. c. 1193–1197 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the [[Chahamanas of Naddula|Naddula Chahamana dynasty]]. He ruled the area around [[Naddula]] (present-day Nadol in [[Rajasthan]]). He was probably [[Battle of Kasahrada (1197)|defeated]] by the [[Ghurid]] general [[Qutb al-Din Aibak]], and the Naddula kingdom disintegrated after his death.<br />

<br />
Jayatasimha was the son of his predecessor [[Kelhanadeva]]. As a prince, he assisted his father in administration.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=262}} After Kelhanadeva's death, Jayatasimha ascended the throne of Naddula, while his brother Sodhaladeva ruled the province of [[Mandavyapura]].{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=260}} An 1194 CE [[Sadri]] inscription shows that he assumed the title ''[[Maharajadhiraja]]''.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=139}}<br />
<br />
By the mid-1190s CE, the Muslim [[Ghurid]] dynasty had defeated the [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari]] in north, gaining control of their capital [[Ajmer]]. In 1197 CE, the Ghurid general [[Qutb al-Din Aibak]] launched a southern expedition from Ajmer. According to the 13th century Muslim historian [[Hasan Nizami]], by the time Qutb al-Din reached Nandul (Naddula), he found the fort abandoned. A confederacy of local Hindu rulers assembled at [[Mount Abu]] to oppose him, but Qutb al-Din defeated them.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=262}} Jayatasimha appears to have been one of these Hindu rulers. Historian R. B. Singh identifies him with Rai Karan, who is said to have escaped after the defeat.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=263}} [[Dasharatha Sharma]] believes that he might have been one of the rulers who were killed or taken prisoner.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=140}}<br />
<br />
After Jayatasimha, the Naddula kingdom disintegrated into several principalities. According to an [[Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple|Achaleshvara]] inscription, the [[Guhilas of Medapata|Guhila]] ruler [[Jaitrasimha]] destroyed Naddula and defeated the Turushkas. According to historian R. B. Singh, this suggests that the Ghurids had captured Naddula, and [[Jaitrasimha]] defeated their local governor. Later, the [[Chahamanas of Javalipura|Jalor Chahamana]] king [[Udayasimha]] (a relative of Jayatasimha), gained control of Naddula.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=264}} However, historian D. C. Ganguly believes that [[Jaitrasimha]] may have plundered Naddula ''after'' Udayasimha's conquest of Jalore.{{sfn|D. C. Ganguly|1957|p=90}}<br />
<br />
[[Gaurishankar Hirachand Ojha|G. H. Ojha]] and Dasharatha Sharma theorize that Jayatasimha was succeeded by [[Maharaja]] Samantasimha, who is attested by five inscriptions dated 1199-1201 CE.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=140}}{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=264}}<br />
