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.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Y. A.

This assertion is supported by inscriptional evidence. For example, a Telugu inscription attributed to [[Simhana]] has been discovered in the Nalgonda district, while another Kannada inscription has been found in the [[Kurnool district]]. These inscriptions, which are geographically located outside of [[Simhana]]'s traditionally recognized domain, indicate that his influence extended beyond the [[Tungabhadra River.]]<ref>{{Cite book |last=Shrinivas ritti |url=http://archive.org/details/seuna_ritti |title=The Seunas |date=1973}}</ref> | This assertion is supported by inscriptional evidence.

Given this inscriptional evidence, it becomes clear that [[Simhana]]'s empire did indeed cross the Tungabhadra, contrary to Derret's claim that [[Simhana]] had not ventured beyond this river. The evidence thus challenges Derret's statement and confirms that Simghana's territorial ambitions and achievements were more extensive than previously acknowledged. | Given this inscriptional evidence, it becomes clear that [[Simhana]]'s empire did indeed cross the Tungabhadra, contrary to Derret's claim that [[Simhana]] had not ventured beyond this river.
