arrived in the year 1303 Sam vat = 124G A. D. from Gwaliar. There can 
be little doubt that this migration was consequent on the capture of Gwa¬ 
liar and the destruction of the Parihar Raj there by Altamish (Iltitmish) 
in 1232 A. D. 
The Parihars of the Dasan assert that Raja Ram the leader of the 
immigrants in 1246 A. D. founded seven forts at the following places :—■ 
(1) Ramgarh, in Pargana Rath, among the ravines of the Dasan, 
now deserted ; (2) Panwari; (3) Rath, on the site known as the Old Fort, 
where the Tahsil now stands ; (4) Kalpi j (5) Magraut in the N. W. 
corner of Pargana Rath; (6) Chandaut or Chanot, in Pargana Jalalpur, 
where the Rath and Kalpi road crosses the Betwa; and (7) at Banda, the 
Old Fort. 
This tradition seems to confuse the memory of the Prae-Chandel king¬ 
dom of the Parihars with that of the movements of the Parihar clan result¬ 
ing from the Musalman successes. 
Mauza Baura near Jaitpur was occupied by Parihars from Salarpur in 
1404 Samvat or 1347 A. D., which year fell in the reign of Muhammad 
Tughlak.

831-1182 A. D. 
The general outline of the Chandel genealogy and chronology was 
satisfactorily settled by General Cunningham in his Report for 1864-1865, 
but some details still admit of discussion, and later discoveries require the 
modification of some of the conclusions then arrived at by General Cunning¬ 
ham. 
In the following pages I shall endeavour to exhibit concisely all that 
is now known respecting the reign of each of the Chandel princes, and 
shall at the same time discuss the doubtful points in the chronology and 
genealogy of the dynasty, entering into a more complete collation of the 
published and translated inscriptions than has yet been attempted. 
(I.) Ncinilca. (Probable date 831-850 A. Z).) 
This prince is mentioned as the founder of the dynasty in the leng Lalaji 
(or Visvanath) and Chaturbhuj inscriptions of Dhanga at Khajurako, and 
in the imperfect Mahoba inscription dated S. 1240. #
