King Devalsinh made several attempts to free his country or to reestablish the Pratihara hold on Bhinmal, but in vain. He settled for territories in the southwest of Bhinmal, consisting of four hills - Dodasa, Nadavana, Kala-Pahad and Sundha. He made Lohiana (present Jaswantpura) his capital. His descendants came to be known as Dewal Rajputs<ref>राव गणपतसिंह चितलवाना, भीनमाल का संस्कृत वैभव, पृ। 49</ref> Gradually, his jagir consisted of 52 villages in and around the modern Jalore district.today these villages are populated by his descendants.The Loyana Garh is the capital of a thikana of 52 villages (Kalapura to Karada) of Deval Rajputs.
