These varieties of faith, and this general toleration, are the more re- 

 markable from the spirit of religious hatred and persecution which was 

 soon after aroused, and which remains in full force to this day among 

 Brahmans, Lingayats, and Jains.. 



OF THE KALABHURI, OR KALACHURI EACE,_ 



The representatives of this race were for several ages great nobles 

 at the court of Kalyan.* The first mention of the tribe is made in the 

 great inscription at Ye-ur, where they are said to have been overcome 

 by the early Chalukyas, together with the Rattas. The present fami- 

 ly, however, do not go back very far. They claim to be of the Soma 

 Vansa, in which was formerly born Sankarasu, after whom, born of a 

 Brahmani mother, was Krishna, who reigned over Kalanjarapura ; 

 several generations after whom was Santarasu, who appears to be 

 mula-purush, or founder of the family. The genealogy then continues, 

 as follows :

* According to the Jain Guru of Malkheir, they were hereditary nobles, or Mandales- 

 vrars, of the province of Kalyan.

t The titles of Vijala before he effected his usurpation were, " Maha Mandaleswara, 

 the great lord of Kalanjra pura,. with the ensign (dhwaja) of the golden bull, damaruga 

 turiya nirghoshanam, (?) the sun of the lotos tribe of Kalachuris," &c."Maha Mandales- 

 war is the title of all the great nobles. Kalanjrapur is Kallinger in Hindostan, from which 

 the family seem originally to have emigrated to the South. Abal Fazl has the following 

 notice regarding Kallinger: "Kallinger is a stone fort situated on a lofty mountain- 

 Here is an idol named ^ Kalhhiroop,^ eighteen cubits in height," Sec. — Ham. Gaz,
