probable that the Hansi inscription, which mentions a Prithvi Eaja in 

 3. 1224, or A.D. 1067, or just two years earlier, must refer to the 

 father, who afterwards obtained the name of Someswara, and not to the 

 son, who is popularly known as Bai Pithora. This assignment of the 

 Hansi inscription to the father is rendered certain by another fact 

 recorded in it, which has escaped the notice of Colebrooke, Fell, and 

 Tod, namely, that Kirana, or Kilhana, of the Quhila or Grahilot 

 race, was the maternal uncle of Prithvi Eaja. Now, if there is one 

 point undisputed in the history of Eai Pithora, it is that his mother 

 was the daughter of the Tomar Eaja Anang Pal. I conclude, there- 

 fore, that the Prithvi Eaja, whose mother was a Grahilot, must have 

 been Someswara, whose original name, before his accession to the 

 throne, was also Prithvi Eaja. 



43. With the above explanations, I now give all the lists of the 

 Chohan dynasty which I have been able to collect, excepting that of 

 Muk-ji the Khichi bard, which agrees closely with Colonel Tod's, and 

 is evidently erroneous.

On comparing these lists, I think it very probable that Bil Deo of 

 Abul Fazl is the Vella Deva of the Inscription on Firuz Shah's Pillar,
