'''Jayasimha''' (reigned c. 1055-1070 CE) was an Indian king from the [[Paramara dynasty]], who ruled in the [[Malwa]] region of central India. He was the successor, and possibly a son, of the dynasty's most powerful king [[Bhoja]]. He appears to have ascended the throne with the support of the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani|Kalyani Chalukya]] prince [[Vikramaditya VI]], and appears to have been dethroned by Vikramaditya's rival brother [[Someshvara II]].<br />

== Source of information ==<br />
<br />
The only known inscription that mentions a Paramara ruler named Jayasimha is the 1055-56 CE [[Mandhata]] copper-plate inscription. It is very similar to Bhoja's inscriptions, and records the grant of the Bhima village to [[Brahmin]]s. The inscription is dated 1112 [[Vikrama Samvat]]; the exact date corresponds to either 27 May 1055 CE (assuming ''[[Chaitradi]]'' year) or 13 July 1056 CE (assuming ''[[Karttikadi]]'' year). It mentions Jayasimha's predecessors as Bhoja, [[Sindhuraja]] and [[Vakpati Munja|Vakpatiraja]]. Jayasimha's titles and name are given as "Parama-bhattaraka [[Maharajadhiraja]] Parameshvara Jayasimha-deva".{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|pp=62-63}}<br />
<br />
No other Paramara inscription mentions Jayasimha. The ''Udaipur Prashasti'' and the ''Nagpur Prashasti'' of the later Paramara kings omit Jayasimha's name, and mention Bhoja's brother [[Udayaditya]] as the next king after Bhoja.{{sfn|H. V. Trivedi|1991|p=63}}<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Jayasimha was probably Bhoja's son.{{sfn|A. K. Warder|1992|pp=177}} At the time of Bhoja's death, a confederacy of the [[Kalachuris of Tripuri|Kalachuri]] king [[Lakshmikarna|Karna]] and the [[Chaulukya]] king [[Bhima I]] had attacked Malwa.{{sfn|K. N. Seth|1978|pp=182-184}} It is possible that Jayasimha and Udayaditya were rival claimants to the throne under these conditions.{{sfn|P. N. Kawthekar|1995|p=72}}<br />
<br />
[[Bilhana]], a court poet of the [[Chalukyas of Kalyani|Kalyani Chalukya]] king [[Vikramaditya VI]] mentions that his patron had helped re-establish the rule of a king in Malwa. Bilhana does not name the king of Malwa, but it appears that he was Jayasimha.{{sfn|P. N. Kawthekar|1995|p=72}} P. N. Kawthekar theorizes Jayasimha sought help from the Chalukya king [[Someshvara I]], who dispatched prince Vikramaditya to help Jayasimha ascend the throne.{{sfn|P. N. Kawthekar|1995|p=72}}<br />
<br />
After the death of Someshavara I, there was a war of succession between the Chalukya princes [[Someshvara II]] and Vikramaditya VI. It appears that Someshvara II considered Jayasimha an ally of Vikramaditya, and therefore, allied with Karna to dethrone him.{{sfn|K. C. Jain|1972|p=354}} Jayasimha may have been killed in the ensuing conflict. Later, Udayaditya ascended the Paramara throne, and salvaged the kingdom.{{sfn|Arvind K. Singh|2012|p=21}}<br />
