VICRAMADITYA AND SALIVAHAXA. 1 S.Q 



has, or Musulmans, out of Arifd'carta, or the land 

 of virtue, thus making it, once more, wliat it sig- 

 nifies according to the inscription. Ariflrcarta in- 

 ckides all the north of India, from the snowy moun- 

 tains, down to the Vindhi/an liills. He destroyed 

 all the princes who refused to submit, and kindly 

 treated all those who did ; and having visited all the 

 places of worship, through his extensive domains, 

 he retired to Sacambhari^ to end his days in peace 

 and rest, exhorting all the kings of India not to 

 slumber, but to go on with his plans, and follow his 

 measures. He is mentioned also in the Sdrmfad'ha- 

 ra-paddluiti, written by Sa'rxgad'haua, grandson 

 of Raghu-de'va, spiritual guide of Ha'mmira, king 

 of Mcwdr, or Sdcambliari-desa, nearly in the same 

 words with the inscription, which was written in 

 the year of Vicrama'DITya 12'iO, answering either 

 to IIG4 or 1154 of Christ; for in that country 

 they reckoned the era of Vicrama'ditya ten years 

 earlier than in the eastern parts of India. He was 

 succeeded by Jaya-sinha, called also Siddha- 

 RAJA, Siddha-ra'je's'a, and in the dialect of G/^- 

 jardt, Siddha-ra'jk's'aua-de' for De'va. It seems 

 that Vis'ala-de'va left no male issue ; for no chil- 

 dren of his are recorded in the above inscription, 

 which would not probably have been the case had lie 

 left any. Who this Java-sinha was, is unknown; 

 but it seems that Cunhwar-pa'la, a near relation 

 of his, was the lawful heir; at least Abul-Fazif^ 

 says, that the latter, from the dread of losing his 

 life, lived in obscurity, during Jaya-sinha's reign ; 

 after whose death he ascended the throne, but was 

 poisoned by Aja-pa'la, the son of Jaya-sinha. 



The next is Luc-jiuea-Ra'ya, mentioned in the 

 Ayin-Acberi, but omitted in our list, unless he be the 

 same with Ba'Lu-jiula, or Ba'luca-mula, called
