[[Simhana]], determined to expand his empire and avenge his grandfather's defeat by the Hoysalas, began a campaign in 1211 A.D. against [[Veera Ballala II]]. He targeted the [[Hoysala]] feudatories south of the Krishna-Malaprabha line and achieved significant territorial gains, including Belvola, Gadaga, Annigari, and parts of Raichur and [[Shimoga district]]s. His advances extended into Anantapur and Ballary, leading to conflicts with the Kakatiya kingdom of Ganapati, where [[Simhana]]'s inscriptions suggest he crossed the Tungabhadra River, contradicting previous claims that he did not. | |||
[[Simhana]]'s second major conquest was Kolhapur. After defeating the Silahara ruler Bhoja II, who had challenged both the Kalachuris and Cholas, [[Simhana]] captured [[Kolhapur]] and secured control over the region by 1214 A.D., with Bhoja fleeing to [[Panhala]] and later being imprisoned. | |||

Simhana's grandfather, Bhillama V, had experienced a significant defeat at the hands of the Hoysala king,[[Veera Ballala II]] in Soratur. In response, the Yadavas sought to retaliate by invading territories controlled by the [[Hoysala]]. Inscriptions from [[Simhana]], found in the area south of the Malaprabha River and dating back to 1202, indicate that the Yadavas had begun making advances into this region by that period. [[Simhana]] began his Southern Campaign in early 1211. | Simhana's grandfather, Bhillama V, had experienced a significant defeat at the hands of the Hoysala king,[[Veera Ballala II]] in Soratur.
