Mewat to attack the territory of Chahar Deo who is by mistake 
called Nahar Deo. In this expedition the kingdom of Chaha- 
dadeva was plundered.! 
n the year 649 A.H. (1251 A.D.) Nasir-ud-din Mahmid, 
the youngest son of Altamsh, advanced towards Gwalior, 
Chanderi and Narwar. Chahadadeva or Chahardeo is said to 
In spite of this force, his forts constructed in the midst of 
defiles and passes were taken and his territories plundered. 
Now the Chahadadeva of Narwar struck coins from the 
V.S. 129x to 1316. Now if we take the year 129x to be latest 
Oe a one, i.e. 1299, then Chahadadeva reigned from 1242 
A.D. 259 A.D. ‘According to the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri the 
Titltosictiadesss waged war against one or more princes of this 
name from 1233 to 1251 A.D. So it is quite possible that 
Chahadadeva of Narwar is the prince who fought with the ae 
of the Sultans of Delhi on three different occasions. 
thambhor is not far from Narwar and it is quite possible that 
that one of the Jajapellas had married the daughter of a 
Chahamana and hasten the Rataul grant begins with a 
Chahamana genealog 
The Gwalior find contains coins struck in V.S. 1316= 
1259 A.D. Therefore it is necessary to consider Cunningham’s 
date of the death of Chahada and the accession of his successor 
Nrivarmman. No coins of Nrivarmman have been discovered 
as yet, but the date, Samvat 1316, on the coins of Chahadadeva 
proves that Nrivarmman could not have ascended the ‘throne 
before 1259 AD. For some unknown reason Sir Alexander 
Cunningham as signed a very short reign to Nrivarmman. He 
placed the ascension of Nrivarmman and that of his son Asalla- 
deva in the same year V.S. 1312 = 1255 A.D. This date is 
untenable now, ee the evidence of the Gwalior coins tends to 
prove that Nrivarmman did not reign at all, because the 
reigns of Chahada and his grandson Asalla or Asala overlap. 
The Gwalior find contains more than two hundred coins 
of Asalladeva, but on these coins the name is spelt with a 
single la. Aaslarteved is also known from two stone inscrip- 
tions :-— 
(1) The Rai inscription of V.S. 1327 = 1270 A.D. 
(2) The Dahi inscription of V.S. 1337 = 1280 A.D. 
Cuan ngham has recorded coins of eee este of the years 1327 
and 1330, but the Gwalior find contains coins issued in the 
years 1315 (Pl. XII, 9), 1318 (PI. xIL 10), 1319 (Pl. XI, 11), 
1322 (Pl. XII, 12), 133x (PL. 1. XII, 13) and 134x (Pl. XII, 14). 
— are several coins in the find compe the name of Asalla
