Ahila
Ahila (r. c. 1019–1024 CE) was an Indian king belonging to the Naddula Chahamana dynasty. He ruled the area around Naddula (present-day Nadol in Rajasthan). He defeated the Chaulukya invader Bhima I. ReignAhila was the son of his predecessor Ashvapala.[1] According to the Chahamana records, he defeated the Chaulukya king Bhima I. The Chaulukya records do not mention this defeat.[2] Historian Dasharatha Sharma theorizes that Bhima invaded the Naddula kingdom to expand his territory, but was forced to retreat.[3] Ahila appears to have died heirless, probably at a young age, as he was succeeded by his paternal uncle Anahilla.[2] The Nadol inscriptions of Alhana and prince Kirtipala omit Ahila's name from the genealogy of the Naddula Chahamana kings, presumably because they were not his descendants.[2] References
