 [N.S.] 



changed to guna° in Dingala and Marwari (e.g. Gunapati), and 



in the afore- mentioned inscription of Samantasimha the word 



is used in connection with samghapati, another title of a similar 

 meaning. 



The chief interest of the inscription, in regard to the his- 

 tory of Marwar, lies in the fact that it proves that at the time 

 in question Mandora was under the rule of the Cahamana 

 Kelhanadeva of Naddula, and had been assigned as a jagir to 

 his son Sodhaladeva, a name which has remained unknown to 

 this day. Sodhala probably was a younger brother of Jayanta- 

 simha, who succeeded his father Kelhana on the throne of 

 Naddula. The third inscription below shows that Sodhala 

 continued to enjoy the jagir of Mandora at least as far as 

 [Vikrama-] Samvat 1250, when his father Kelhana was prob- 

 ably dead. In the time of Udayasimha, for whom we have 

 dates covering the period [Vikrama-] Samvat 1262-1306, Man- 

 dora still continued in the possession of the Cahamanas, thougli 

 it had been possibly lost to them for a time after the invasion 

 of Qutub-ud-Dln.

(2) An inscription comprising 16 lines of writing, covering 

 a space of 9 \" broad by 16f" high. It is incised on the left- 

 central column in the front, and is so weather-worn that a good 

 part of the letters are quite illegible. The date itself is not
