He ruled the area around [[Naddula]] (present-day Nadol in [[Rajasthan]]). He achieved military successes against the [[Chaulukya]]s, the [[Paramara dynasty#Branches and claimed descendants|Paramaras of Vagada]], and a [[Ghaznavid]] raider.<br /> <br /> == Reign ==<br /> <br /> Prithvipala was eldest son of the Chahamana king [[Jendraraja]]. He succeeded his father on the throne of Naddula.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=247}}<br /> <br /> According to the [[Sundha Mata Temple|Sundha Hill]] inscription, Prithvipala defeated the [[Gurjaradesa|Gurjara]] ([[Chaulukya]]) king [[Karna (Chaulukya dynasty)|Karna]].{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=128}} The [[Chahamanas of Shakambhari|Shakambhari Chahamana]] king [[Vigraharaja III]] also claimed to have helped the [[Paramara]] king [[Udayaditya]] defeat Karna. Historian R. B. Singh theorizes that these three neighbouring kings (Prithvipala, Vigraharaja and Udayaditya) formed an alliance against Karna in order to curb his growing power.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=247}}<br /> <br /> Another Chahamana inscription states that Prithvipala defeated a ruler named Mandalika at Rohadavapika. This ruler can be identified with a ruler of the [[Paramara dynasty#Branches and claimed descendants|Paramara branch]] of [[Vagada]].{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=128}}<br /> <br /> The same inscription also states that Prithvipala was once surrounded by a [[Turkic peoples|Turushka]] (Turkic) enemy, and rescued by his younger brother [[Asharaja]]. The Turushka enemy can be identified as a [[Ghaznavid]] raider, who must have been a subordinate of the [[Ibrahim of Ghazna]].{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=128}}<br /> <br /> Prithvipala waived some taxes on the farmers, and may have commissioned an image of a deity known as Prithvipaleshvara.{{sfn|Dasharatha Sharma|1959|p=128}}<br /> <br /> Prithvipala had a son named [[Ratnapala (Chahamana dynasty)|Ratnapala]], but he was succeeded by his younger brother [[Jojalladeva]]. It is possible that Ratnapala was born after Prithvipala&#039;s death, or that he was a minor at the time of his father&#039;s death.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=248}} Prithvipala was thus succeeded by his brothers Jojalladeva and Asharaja.{{sfn|R. B. Singh|1964|p=249}} Ratnapala gained control of the throne during Asharaja&#039;s reign.{{sfn|R.
