the "mandalik kavya", however, omits all account of the fight at vanthali and represents that meliga defeated ahmad shah and plundered his baggage but this is probably an exaggeration based on the meliga's escape to the girnar fortress and his avoidance of capture. in the uparkot inscription (vs 1507/1451 ce), meliga is styled the yadav rana of jirandurg. he was succeeded by his son jayasimha ii in 1416 ce.
