hi— Bach Deo, who founded Baghor, near Narnol, and Bachera, or 

 Baghera, near Thoda Ajmer. 

 , 2nd.— Nag Deo, who founded Ndgor, and i%<fo near Ajmer. 



8nd— Krisln Bay, who founded Kish&ssgarh, 10 miles to north 

 north-east of Alwar, and Khds Ganj between Soron and Etah. 



4th.— NiMl Bay, who founded Ndrdyanpur, 10 miles to west of 



Alwar. 



5th._ Somasi, who founded Ajabgarl, between Alwar and Jaypur. 



6 th.— Har Pdl, who founded Harsora, 16 miles to north north-west 

 of Alwar, and Rarsoli, 23 miles to north of Alwar. 



To this list I may add Bahadur garh, 7 miles to north-east of Alwar, 

 which is said to have been founded by Kama Pdl himself. 



37. The only other work of the Tomaras which has come to my 

 knowledge is the village of Mahipdlpur, situated 2 miles to the east 

 north-east of the Kutb Minar, with its great embanked lake, three 

 quarters of a mile long and one quarter broad. Mahi Pal, the grand- 

 father of Jay Pal is the 12fch in the list, and reigned from A. D. 961 

 to 979. The embankment was the work of Firuz Tughlak. A second 

 Mahi Pal reigned from A. D. 1105 to 1130. 



38. If these traditions are true, the dominion of the Tomaras must 

 at one time have extended to the westward as far as Sirsa and Mgor. 

 To the south-west there is the District of Toarvati, or Tomaravati, 

 between Alwar and Shekavati ; and to the south-east there is the 

 District of Toarghar, or Tomar ghdr, between Dholpur and Grwalior, 

 both of which still preserve the name of this once powerful clan. The 

 Tomara dynasty of Gwalior, which held that strong fort for nearly a 

 century and a half, traced its descent from Anang Pal of Dilli, and the 

 present Chief of Toarvati, as well as the Tomar Zemindars of Toarghar, 

 still proudly lay claim to the same origin. 



39. Anang Pal 2nd was succeeded by three other Eajas of the 

 Tomar family, of whom the last was a prince of the same name, Anang 

 Pal 3rd. During the reign of this last King, Dilli was captured by 

 the Chohans under Visala Beva ; but the date of this event has not 

 yet been satisfactorily ascertained. According to Abul Pazl it 

 occurred in S. 848, which, referred to the Balabhi era, gives A. D„ 

 1166 ; but as the date of Visala' s inscription on Firuz Shah's Pillar 

 is S. 1220 of ViJcrama, or A. D. 1163, it is certain that the capture of 

 Pilli must have preceded the conqueror's advance to the. foot of the
