Two manuscripts of Prthvirajaraso were exhibited. One 
is supposed to be a fragment of what Cand Kavi wrote, and 
the second apaiees to. conten additions made by his son 
Jhall showed how these two versions differed from the 
oy site at PS and also explained how the ‘‘ Prthvi- 
rajaraso’’ from a small beginning of 5000 slokas had assumed

There are two opinions about the genuineness of Prthvi- 
rajaraso. The school of Mahamahopadhyaya Syamaladas 
Kaviraja maintains that it is a forgery of the 15th century, 
while Mohan Lal Bissen Lal Pandeya and his school maintain - 
that it is the genuine work of Cand written in the 12th century 
A.D. Nanu Ram is a descendant of Cand and he starts a new 
theory of gradual rion ion
