Vigraharaja succeeded his father Ajayaraja I as the Chahamana ruler.[2] The Prithviraja Vijaya praises him using conventional eulogies, which indicates that he achieved military successes.[3]
According to Prithviraja Vijaya, Vigraharaja had two sons: Chandraraja and Gopendraraja. He was succeeded by Chandraraja, who in turn was succeeded by Gopendraraja.[2] The later Hammira Mahakavya mentions Chandraraja ("Shri Chandra") as the son of Vigraharaja's ancestor Naradeva.[4]
