Ramachandra led an expendition to Malwa against Paramara dynasty in which he defeated Arjunavarman.[4][1][5][2] He is described as a Lion in destroying the multitude of ruttling elephants of Arjuna the King of Malwa.[3]

Expedition

The Paramara kingdom of Malwa was located to the north of the Yadava kingdom. By the 1270s, the Paramara power had weakened considerably, and their kingdom had been divided between the king Arjunavarman II and his minister. Taking advantage of this situation, Ramachandra invaded the Paramara kingdom in the 1271, and easily defeated the Paramara army.[4][1][5]

Ramachandra's 1271 CE Paithan inscription alludes to his conquest of Malwa, The Malwa invasion may have been a way to mark his ascension to the throne.[2][3]
