==Background== | |||
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. | |||
