Samantasimha

Samantasimha was a Guhila ruler of Mewar in the later twelfth century, succeeding his father Kshemasimha. After the death of the Chaulukya king Kumarapala of Gujarat he invaded Gujarat, but the Chahamana chief Kirtipala drove him from Mewar.

He withdrew to Vagad and founded a new Guhila principality there in 1177, with its seat at Baroda, the nucleus of Dungarpur. He later joined Prithviraja III of Ajmer and may have fallen fighting at the Second Battle of Tarain in 1192.
