[Gurjjara Tree.] The following is the Gurjjara family tree: Dadda I. A.D. 580. | Jayabhata I. A.D. 605. | Dadda II. A.D. 633. | Jayabhata II. A.D. 655. | Dadda III. A.D. 680. | Jayabhata III. A.D. 706-734. A recently published grant [400] made by Nirihullaka, the chieftain of a jungle tribe in the lower valley of the Narbadá, shows that towards the end of the sixth century A.D. that region was occupied by wild tribes who acknowledged the supremacy of the Chedi or Kalachuri kings: a fact which accounts for the use of the Chedi or Traikútaka era in South Gujarát. Nirihullaka names with respect a king Sankarana, whom Dr. Bühler would identify with Sankaragana the father of the Kalachuri Buddhavarmman who was defeated by Mangalísa the Chálukya about A.D. 600. [401] Sankaragana himself must have flourished about A.D. 580, and the Gurjjara conquest must be subsequent to this date. Another new grant, [402] which is only a fragment and contains no king's name, but which on the ground of date (Sam. 346 = A.D. 594-5) and style may be safely attributed to the Gurjjara dynasty, shows that the Gurjjaras were established in the country within a few years of Sankaragana's probable date. A still nearer approximation to the date of the Gurjjara conquest is suggested by the change in the titles of Dharasena I. of Valabhi, who in his grants of Samvat 252 [403] (A.D. 571) calls himself Mahárája, while in his grants of 269 and 270 [404] (A.D. 588 and 589), he adds the title of Mahásámanta, which points to subjection by some foreign power between A.D. 571 and A.D. 588. It seems highly probable that this power was that of the Gurjjaras of Bhínmál; and that their successes therefore took place between A.D. 580 and 588 or about A.D. 585.
