==Reign==
Jayasimha II succeeded his father [[Meliga]] in 1416 CE. During his reign, [[Gujarat Sultanate|Gujarat Sultan]] [[Ahmad Shah I]] was too much occupied by Gujarat and Malwa affairs to again visit [[Saurashtra (region)|Sorath]]. The inscription (VS 1473 / 1417 CE) in the wall of [[Pushtimarg Baithak|Mahaprabhu Bethak]] on the east of the Revati Kund near [[Damodar Kund]], [[Junagadh]] says that he defeated the Yavana (i.e. Muslims) in the battle at the fort of Jhanjharkot.{{efn-ua|Jhanjharkot is identified with modern day Jhanjhmer in [[Bhavnagar district]], [[Gujarat]] by Diskalkar but Parikh considers one of the following villages near Junagadh more likely: Jhanjharia near [[Una, Gujarat|Una]], Jhanhjarda near Junagadh, Jhinjhari near [[Manavadar]], Jhanjharpur near Maliya Hatina, Jhinjhuda near [[Mendarda]].<ref name="Parikh" />}} The commander of his army was Damodar, son of Narasimha. He order a ''[[Matha]]'' to be built for pilgrims which is now Mahaprabhu Bethak. Another inscription (VS 1485 / 1429 CE) mentioning his name is located at Naganatha temple, [[Chorwad]].<ref name="Parikh" /><ref name="ins1">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.54106/2015.54106.Inscriptions-Of-Kathiawad#page/n83/mode/2up/search/Revati|title=New Indian Antiquary|last=Diskalkar|first=D.
