The Dor and Chandel were well-known tribes; the latter contended with
Prithiraj, who deprived them of Mahoba and Kalanjar, and all modern
Bundelkhand.
Footnote 10.1.55:
The renowned Dahima was lord of Bayana; also called Druinadhar. [The
ancient name was Srīpathā (_IGI_, vii. 137). This catalogue of the
chiefs is the work of the Chauhān bard, desirous of exalting the
dignity of his tribe, and is not historical.]
Footnote 10.1.56:
[These statements regarding the Chauhān dynasty are inconsistent with
the Bijolli inscription, and Cunningham (_ASR_, i. 157) finds it
impossible to make any satisfactory arrangement, either of the names
of the princes, or of the length of their reigns. The facts, as far as
they can be ascertained, are given by Smith (_EHI_, 386 ff.).
Cunningham (_op. cit._ ii. 256) points out the author twice ignores
the date of A.D. 1163 of Vīsaladeva on the Delhi pillar, to make him
an opponent of Mahmūd in the beginning of the eleventh century. “In
one place he gives to Hansrāj, whom the Hāra bard assigns to the year
A.D. 770, the honour of conquering Sabuktigīn, which in another place
he gives to his successor Dujgandeo.” He concludes that the chief
cause of error is the identification of two different princes of the
name of Vīsaladeva as one person. For his discussion see _ASR_, ii.
256 f.]
Footnote 10.1.57:
See _Asiatic Researches_, vol. i. p. 379, vol. vii. p. 180, and vol.
ix. p. 453. [Nigambhod Ghāt is immediately outside the north wall of
Shāhjahānābād, and above, not below, the city of Delhi (_ASR_, i. 136,
161, 164).]
Footnote 10.1.58:
I brought away an inscription of this, the last Chauhan emperor, from
the ruins of his palace at Hasi or Hansi, dated S. 1224. See comments
thereon, _Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society_, vol. i. p. 133.
Footnote 10.1.59:
