distinctly stated, as it is in every other ease, and hence it may be surmised 
that he was not related to his immediate predecessor, but belonged to the ori¬ 
ginal Dor stock. This is the more probable, because if he and his son Ananga 
had been descendants of the Brahman usurper, the introduction of the Dor 
pedigree would be altogether out of place. 
The names stand as follows : 
1. Chandraka.

3. Prabhasa. 
4. Bhairava. 
5. Rudra 
6. Govinda-raja (surnamed Yasopara). 
8. Bhogaditya - 
I 
9. Srikuladity a. 
Bhupati, surnamed Padmaditya, 
Brahman Minister. 
12. Bhojadeva. 
13. Sahajaditya.

14. Ananga. 
The above genealogy is of very exceptional interest, because it is 
known from other sources that at the time of the invasion of India by 
Mahmud of Ghazni in 1017 A. D , Merath, Baran and Kol were all held 
by the Dors and that Hara-datta was the name of their Raja, who had his 
principal residence at Baran. Unable to meet the Muhammadans in the 
field, he saved his towns from pillage by a nominal submission to the faith 
of Islam—as is stated in the Tarikh-i-Yamiui of Al Utbi, MahmmPs Chro. 
nographer—and by the tender of a heavy ransom in treasure and elephants. 
The disgrace that he thus incurred may very probably be the expla¬ 
nation of the fact briefly stated in the Manpur inscription that his son 
was twice passed over in the succession to the throne and was eventually 
deposed. 
Before these events there is reason to conclude that Hara-datta was 
the most important chief in all this part of the country between Kanauj 
and Thanesar. For Delhi, though refounded by the Raja Dhava of the 
Iron Pillar about 319 A. D. and again rebuilt in 731 by Anang Pal, the 
first Tomar Raja of that name, is not once mentioned either by the Chinese 
Pilgrims or by Al Utbi, and was probably at this period a small, unfortified 
and quite unimportant village, the capital of the Tomars being at Kanauj.
