==Reign==
Jayasimha I succeeded his father [[Khengara]] in 1351 CE. He is said in the ''Mandalika Kavya'' to have been victorious over his enemies but ''Mandalika Kavya'' is unreliable source. [[Delhi Sultanate|Delhi Sultan]] [[Muhammad bin Tughluq]] was succeeded by [[Firuz Shah Tughlaq]] when he died in 1351 CE. The country around [[Somnath]] and the sea-coast of [[Sorath prant|Sorath]] continued to be under Delhi Sultanate but the Sultanate was weakened. Taking advantage of the situation, Jayasimha expelled Muslim ''thanadars'' appointed by the Sultanate from the region. Firuz Shah Tughluq's governor of Gujarat, Zafar Khan Farasi send an army. His commander Shams Khan defeated Jayasimha and appointed a ''thanadar''.<ref name="Parikh" />

He is mentioned in the inscription (VS 1434/1377 CE) on ''[[paliya]]'' at Nagichana near [[Mangrol, Kathiawar|Mangrol]]. So he must have regained the power. The ''paliya'' inscription (VS 1435/1378 CE) at Osa near Junagadh mentions that Junagadh was under ''<nowiki>''thanadar''</nowiki>'' named Mahamalik Muhammad Sadik and Raval Mahipaladeva. Jayasimha was succeeded by his son, [[Mahipala II (Chudasama dynasty)|Mahipala II]]. So he must have died in 1378 CE. His other sons were Satyaraja; mentioned in Sudavav inscription (VS 1437/1381 CE) at [[Mahuva, Bhavnagar]]; and [[Mokalasimha]] who succeeded Mahipala II.<ref name="Parikh" /><ref name="ins1">{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.54106/2015.54106.Inscriptions-Of-Kathiawad#page/n55/mode/2up/search/NAGICHANA|title=New Indian Antiquary|last=Diskalkar|first=D.
