[A.D. 610-640.] This being so, it is clearly impossible to suppose that Vijayarája's grandfather Jayasimha is that younger son of Pulakesi II. (A.D. 610-640) who founded the Gujarát branch family. It has been usually supposed that the Jayasimha of our grant was a younger brother of Pulakesi II.: but this also is chronologically impossible: for Jayasimha can hardly have been more than ten years of age in A.D. 597-98, when his elder brother was set aside as too young to rule. His son Buddhavarmman could hardly have been born before A.D. 610, so that Buddhavarmman's son Vijayarája must have made his grant at the age of twelve at latest. The true solution of the question seems to be that given by Dr. Bhandárkar in his Early History of the Deccan (page 42 note 7), namely that the grant is a forgery. To the reasons advanced by him may be added the fact pointed out by Mr. Fleet (Ind. Ant. VII. 251) that the grant is a palimpsest, the engraver having originally commenced it "Svasti Vijayavikshepán Na." It can hardly be doubted that Na is the first syllable of Nándípurí the palace of the Gurjjara kings. Many of the grantees were Bráhmans of Jambusar and subjects of Dadda II. of Broach, whose grants to them are extant. It seems obvious that Vijayarája's grant was forged in the interest of these persons by some one who had Gurjjara grants before him as models, but knew very little of the forms used in the chancery of the Chálukyas. Setting aside this grant, the first genuine trace of Chálukya rule in Gujarát is to be found in the grant of the Sendraka chief Nikumbhallasakti, which bears date Sam. 406 (A.D. 654-5) and relates to the gift to a Bráhman of the village of Balisa (Wanesa) in the Treyanna (Ten) district. Dr. Bühler has shown (Ind. Ant. XVIII. page 265ff) that the Sendrakas were a Kánarese family, and that Nikumbhallasakti must have come to Gujarát as a Chálukya feudatory, though he names no overlord. He was doubtless subordinate to the Chálukya governor of Násik.
