³ Raj Darashani, I. O. 507, f. 45. The Raja of Jammu is named Chakra Deo and is said to have invited and helped Muizzuddin against Khusrau. The account, inspite of its doubtful authenticity is accepted unreservedly in the CHI, iii, p. 39. Raverty quotes extensively from it. The hostility of the alleged ruler of Jammu with Khusrau, however, might have had some connection with the aggressions of the "Mlecchas from the upper Indus valley" in 1144 and of the "Javana Turushkas" between 1150-55, as mentioned in the Kashmir chronicles; Rajatarangini, ii, p. 217; see also introduction, p. 128; Dvitiya Rajatarangini, cited in Roy, H.C.: Dynastic history of Northern India, i, pp. 172-3.
