ReignEdit
Navaghana was of middle age when he succeeded his father Mandalika I. He is also mentioned in the genealogy in inscriptions at Neminath Temple (c. VS 1510/c. 1454 CE) on Girnar where he is praised as a mighty warrior. This inscription calls the Chudasamas of the Yadava origin.[1][2] During his short reign of two years, he had installed Shivalinga in the Somanatha temple which was destroyed during reign of his father. He probably died in a local conflict with Muslims in 1308 CE. He was succeeded by his son Mahipala I.[1][upper-alpha 2]
