From 1211 to 1217 A.D., [[Veera Ballala II]] experienced a period of retreat. During this time, the Kadambas of Hanugal, led by Kamadeva, began invading the northern districts of Ballala. Simghana exploited this opportunity to capture Belvola, thereby extending his control over a significant area around Gadaga and Annigari in the [[Dharwar district]] . He likely also captured Kusukad and Masavadi, further extending his territory in the Raichur district. Hanugala and Guttala also fell to him . After conquering large areas in these districts, Simghana advanced into the Banavase and Satalinge provinces in the Shimoga district. As early as 1212 A.D., inscriptions record Simghana's raids in the Sorab taluka of this district . [[Simhana]] personally led the campaign, evidenced by an inscription noting that his horse was stabbed by a [[Hoyasala]] hero at Hurali (App.Insc.no.53). Eight inscriptions found in the [[Shimoga district]] confirm his conquest of Banavase, Satalinge, and surrounding territories, which were subsequently assigned to his trusted lieutenant, Sarvadhikarin Mayideva .<ref>{{Cite journal |last=G. |first=Yazdani, |date=1960 |title=Early History Of The Deccan Pts.7 To 11 |url=http://www.dli.ernet.in/handle/2015/531155 |language=Unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160828105828/http://www.dli.ernet.in/handle/2015/531155 |archive-date=2016-08-28}}</ref> | From 1211 to 1217 A.D., [[Veera Ballala II]] experienced a period of retreat.

[[Simhana]]'s southern expansion did not end here. Inscriptions in the Anantapur district of Andhra indicate that he extended his control into Ballary and [[Anantapur]]. The [[Hoysala]] feudatories in these regions appear to have shifted their allegiance to [[Simhana]]. | [[Simhana]]'s southern expansion did not end here.
