According to Rajput tradition the Moris (Mauryas) held sway over this tract before the rise of the Guhilots. See *AR*, Vol. I, p. 265. For the dates of the early Guhilot princes see *IA*, 1910, pp. 188-89; *EI*, Vol. IV, p. 31. There are a number of inscriptions of the early 8th century A.D. where Guhilot princes are found as vassals of the Mauryas; see *ASI, W. Circle*, 1906, p. 60; *EI*, XII, pp. 11-12. In the *Chach-nāma* (Mirza Kalichbeg's Trans., p. 21) Mahrat is described as the brother of Sāhasī.
