 Yadava Court of Deva Giri in the Deccan, composed about a century 

 before the Muhammadan conquest of that part of India, is a compre-

 presumably older than the thirteenth century, and the works quoted 

 being very numerous, it affords a safe criterion for distinguishing works 

 written before the Muhammadan conquest. Edited by Pandits Togesvara
