Kavi Raj Sbyamal Das —Oa the Frithi BciJ Bisd. 
and S. 1158, tlie 3rd of the waxino^ moon of Shrawan for liis death with 
13,000 cavalry, simultaneous with Prithi Raj’s death in the battle 
against Shahabuddin Ghori. 
To confirm this Sam vat 1158 adopted for Rawal Samar Singh’s 
death, they inserted by guesswork Samvats, in their books, of all the 
kings who ruled between Ravral Samarsi and Mokul:— 
1. 
Rawal Samar Singh. 
11. 
Rana Bhuvan Singh. 
2. 
Ratna Singh. 
12. 
Bhim Singh. 
3. 
5) 
Kama Singh. 
13. 
Jai Singh. 
4. 
Rana Rahup.

Mokul Ji. 
The people of the Rajputana States believed in the Samvats given 
for these kings by the bards, and inserted in their books. 
It is impossible that Rawal Samar Singh could have married the 
sister of Prithi Raj who lived about a century before him. 
A masonry bridge constructed over the Gamhliiri that flows past 
the celebrated Port of Chitor, is attributed to Maha Rana Lakshman 
Singh’s son Ari Singh; though I have not found it stated in any 
Persian history, yet some Muhammadans attribute the architecture to 
Khizr Khan, the son of Alauddin Khilji; whosoever might have been 
the builder, this much is certain that it was built towards the close 
of the 14th century of Vikram’s Samvat, land the style is strongly in 
favour of its being a Muhammadan structure. 
Inscription III. 
There are nine arches in the bridge; in the eighth arch (taken 
from the east to the west), there is a slab bearing an inscription dated 
S. 1324 (= A. D. 1267), when Rawal Tej Singh, father of Rawal Samar 
Singh was reigning over Mewar. It appears to have been originally 
placed in some temple, and afterwards put in its present position when 
the bridge was built, i. e., some materials for it were taken from the debris 
of the temple. 
The characters are so deeply chiselled in that they have suffered 
very little from the constant action of water against the tablet (during 
the floods) for several centuries. 
Two lines of the Inscription are extant, and they are given in 
Appendix III.
