c26.s7.1

Conquerors of Dehli from the Tomaras (v. sup. § 110) c. ? 1128 A.D., and of Jejāhuti (§ 118) in 1182 A.D. Those specimens of the Cauhān coinage which have been read with certainty represent the two last rulers, *Someśvara* and *Pṛthvīrāja*, from c. 1162 to 1192 A.D., the latter of these dates being that of the Muhammadan conquest of Dehli under Muhammad ibn Sām. The coin-types of the Cauhāns are the Bull and Horseman (§ 115 (6)), which continued for some generations to find a place among the coin-types of their Muhammadan conquerors, the Sulṭāns of Dehli (cp. S. LANE-POOLE, B. M. Cat. Indian Coins: Sultans of Dehli, Pll. I—III).
