‘The lord of Kedar,’ the gigantic _pine_ of the Himalaya, a title of Siva. [Kedārnāth in Garhwāl District. The derivation of Kedār is unknown: it certainly does not mean ‘pine or cedar.’] Footnote 10.1.74: He bestowed in appanage on his brother Kankhalji a tenth of the lands in his possession. From Kankhal are descended the class of Bhats, called Kroria Bhat. Footnote 10.1.75: Harraj had twelve sons, the eldest of whom was Alu, who succeeded to Bumbaoda. Alu Hara’s name will never die as long as one of his race inhabits the Patar; and there are many Bhumias descended from him still holding lands, as the Kumbhawat and Bhojawat Haras. The end of Alu Hara, and the destruction of Bumbaoda (which the author has visited), will be related in the Personal Narrative. Footnote 10.1.76: [A.D. 1489-1517.] Footnote 10.1.77: Thal and Nal are both terms for a valley, though the latter is oftener applied to a defile. Footnote 10.1.78: [The ‘appeal to the spear.’] Footnote 10.1.79: The Par, or Parbati River, flows near Ramgarh Relawan.—See Map. Footnote 10.1.80: [This conflicts with the statement above that Rāo Dewa reigned in the time of Sikandar Lodi.] Footnote 10.1.81: In Muhammadan authors, Hādāoti. (_Āīn_, ii. 271.) ----- CHAPTER 2 =Recapitulation of Hāra History.=—Having sketched the history of this race, from the regeneration of Anhal,[10.2.1] the first Chauhan (at a period which it is impossible to fix), to the establishment of the first Hara prince in Bundi, we shall here recapitulate the most conspicuous princes, with [460] their dates, as established by synchronical events in the annals of other States, or by inscriptions; and then proceed with the history of the Haras as members of the great commonwealth of India. Anuraj, obtained Asi or Hansi. Ishtpal, son of Anuraj; he was expelled from Asi, S. 1081 (A.D. 1025), and obtained Asir. He was founder of the Haras; the chronicle says not how long after obtaining Asi, but evidently very soon. Hamir, killed in the battle of the Ghaggar, on the invasion of Shihabu-d-din, S. 1249, or A.D. 1193. Rao Chand, slain in Asir, by Alau-d-din, in S. 1351. Rainsi, fled from Asir, and came to Mewar, and in S. 1353 obtained Bhainsror. Rao Banga, obtained Bumbaoda, Menal, etc. Rao Dewa, S. 1398 (A.D. 1342), took the Bandu valley from the Minas, founded the city of Bundi, and styled the country Haravati. Rao Dewa, whose Mina subjects far outnumbered his Haras, had recourse, in order to consolidate his authority, to one of those barbarous acts too common in Rajput conquests. The Rajput chronicler so far palliates the deed, that he assigns a reason for it, namely, the insolence of the Mina leader, who dared to ask a daughter of the ‘lord of the Patar.’ Be this as it may, he called in the aid of the Haras of Bumbaoda and the Solankis of Toda, and almost annihilated the Usaras.
