His Script error: No such module "lang". is a continuation of Kalhana's Script error: No such module "lang". and brings the chronicle of the kings of Kashmir down to the time of the author's patron Zain-ul-Abidin (r. 1418–1419 and 1420–1470). Jonaraja, however, could not complete the history of the patron as he died in the 35th regnal year. His pupil, Script error: No such module "lang". continued the history and his work, the Script error: No such module "lang"., covers the period 1459–1486.[1]

In his Script error: No such module "lang"., Jonaraja has vividly described the decline of the Hindu ruling dynasty and the rise of the Muslim ruling dynasty in Kashmir.
