¹ Inscriptions of Trailokyavarma, Paramardideva's successor, refer to his expelling the Turks from his kingdom; *EI*, I, p. 327. In his earliest inscription, dated in 1206, recording the grant of land to an officer whose father had lost his life in fighting the Turks, he is called "Lord of Kalinjar"; *EI*, XVI, p. 273. The fortress is not mentioned again by Minhaj, until a few years later when we hear of expeditions sent against the "Rai of Kalinjar."
