Mr. B. C. Mazumdar did not observe that the present town of Jaipur was founded by Mahārāja Sawai Jai Singh II during the reign of the Emperor Muḥammad Shāh (1719-48) and Amber was not the capital of the Kachhvāhās till the 14th century, when they were known as the kings of Dhundhar or even Gopadri or Gwalior. He believes that like the so-called Chauhān or Chāhamāna Chiefs of the Patna-Sambalpur-Sonpur group, the present Bhañjas were new-comers in Orissa in the 16th century A. D. There was no Man Singh in Rajputana thirteen centuries ago and it is extremely doubtful whether the Kachchhapaghāta or the Kachhvāhā Rajputs existed as a separate clan in 610 A. D. Therefore, this genealogy of the present-day Bhañjas must be regarded to be as fictitious as that of the Chauhāns of the Patna-Sambalpur-Sonpur group.
