VICRAMADITYA AND SALIVAHAXA. 187 



A holy-man, called ^Saila-Deva, Deva-'Saila or 

 Deb-Sailim, happening to pass b}-, on his return, 

 from Ujjayini, to Radhana-pura, in tlie northern 

 parts of Gujrat', took compassion on the woman, 

 and gave the child in charge of one of his disciples, 

 ^\lio carried him to Rudhana-pura, whexe he was 

 brought up. lie afterwards associated with a band 

 of robbers ; and at last seized the ro3'al treasure, 

 \vhich was going to Cancge. lie then made him- 

 self independent, and built the city of iV^rriwrt^A or 

 Narzvalefi ; and his friend Champa, a market man, 

 says Abul-Faz[l, and of the Bhil cast, (a very low 

 tribe, according to learned Pandits from Gujrat',) 

 built the town of Champu-nagara or Champa-ntre, 



The next king, noticed by Abul-Fazil, is an» 

 other Samant-Sinha ; but this could not be his 

 name, for Samant, as before observed, implies a 

 pett}^ king in Sanscrit, and vassal princes are thus 

 denominated. Thus we read, tbat Prithwi-raVa' 

 had with him one hundred Sammitaa* or j^etty 

 princes, commanding tbeir own quota of troops. 

 His name was probably Ehuad'a-deva, the imme- 

 diate predecessor of T'.Iula-ra'ja in our list, but the 

 fourth or/l\' in the yJj/ui-Jcberi. He gave his daugh- 

 ter to 'Sri-Dhundhaca of the Solanci tribe, after 

 whom the town of Dhundhaca, in Gujrdt\ is deno- 

 minated. 



King Jamuivd, in the Ay'm-Acberi, is omitted in 

 our list, probably because it is a corruption from 

 Samauta, and a title belonging to Mula-ra ja. In 

 his time, Sultan jMahmud Ghazxevi conquered 

 Gujrat' ; and, in the year 1025, replaced, upon the 



Avin-Acberi, vol. 2d, p. 118.
