*Note*—Dynastic names, as above, were family names or titles, and were not the names of different nationalities. Though the government changed hands there was no general inroad of an alien population at these crises before the Muḥammadan times. The people remained very much the same under the different dynasties. And so, except in special cases, where a ruler may have imported skilled artizans from other parts of India, the families of *sūtradāris* or *salāts* architectural builders probably lived and worked from generation to generation, within the confines of the kingdom.
