² See Tod: *Annals*, II, pp. 1190-1205, where the progress of the Bhattis from the Punjab to Jaisalmer in the end of the XII century is recounted. Jaisal, the founder of Jaisalmer, is said to have sought and obtained the assistance of the king of Ghor in occupying Lodorva, the ancient capital, 10 miles N. W. of Jaisalmer. He is also said to have acknowledged the latter's suzerainty whose troops thereafter left for Bhakar in Lower Sind. The story may have some obscure reference to actual facts but does not confirm Ibnul Asir's account. See also Erskine: *Rajputana Gazetteer*, p. 11.
