TOURING REPORT. 



1. Jag alu. 



■ 



JagaluV the ancient stronghold of the Sakhalas, is about 10 

 miles south-west of Desanoka, a railway station on the 

 Jodhpur-Bikaner Railway,' the second from Bikaner. The 

 place was visited by me on December 5th. 1916. Jagaju had 

 a political importance till about the time of rava Vlko's coloni- 

 sation, when it was incorporated into the domains of the great 

 Kathora conqueror. 



The best source of information for the traditions concern- 

 ing the ancient history of Jagalu is the Chronicle of Mfihandta 

 Nena Si. In the chapter on the Pavaras ( Vata Pavara ri), 

 NegaSi describes the origin of the Sakhalas and the founding 

 of Runa, their first capital, near Mudhivara. It was Raya Si, 

 the son of Mahi Pala and grandson of "the third rand of Runa, 

 who emigrated from Runa to Jagalu and succeeded in estab- 

 lish? his sovereignty over the place. His descendants were 

 f?ed Jangalava Sakhalas, to distinguish them from the 



Salchala
