daughter of Kumara Simha of the Sankhukula, ruler of the 
country of Jangalakiipa, and wife of Karna Deva, ruler of 
Jesalamera, caused a certain tank to be excavated in the year 
Samvat 1381. The importance of the record lies in the men- 
tion of Kumara Simha who is, of course, nobody else but rano 
Kavara Si of Ja&gali, and in the date given in connection with 
his daughter. As the inscription mentions also Kumara Sim- 
ha’s father Ksema Simha—the Khiva Si of the chronicles, 
perhaps even more interesting is the discovery made at Dada- 
revo of an inscription which proves that in the later half of 
the Samvat-century 1200 this place was the seat of a Cahavana 
chief who bore the title of rand, and thus indirectly confirms the 
truth of the Bikaneri tradition concerning Goga De pir. Ac- 
cording to this tradition, Goga De was born at Dadarevo of a 
Cahavana chief who was ruling over the place, and one manus- 
cript examined by me in Jodhpur goes further and says that 
this chief, father of Goga De, was called Jevara (sic) and bore 
which incidentally records the digging of a well, contains the 
name of a rana Jayata Siha, the son of mandalesvara Go Pala, 
and gives for him the date Samvat 1270. It is therefore oa

sonable to conclude that the Bikaneri tradition concerning the 
De’s ancestors. 
Inscriptions referring to Rathora chiefs of note were this 
year less numerous than last year. The oldest record of this 
kind discovered is a kartistambha which Kasamira De, one of 
the wives of rau Jéta Si, erected in the village of Kisamidesara, 
founded by her, to record the digging of a well in Samvat 1590. 
Next to this, in point of time, comes the devalt of Samsara 
Canda, a son of rau Vido, which was discovered at Pariyaro, 
and is dated Samvat 1596. A devali which probably com- 
memorates the demise of Hara Raja, the son of rau Viko’s
