⁴ *JASB*, 1845, Vol. XIV, Part I, pp. 80-81: "The period occupied by the rule of the five preceding Rajahs is 137 years, and then it descended to the Brahmins." Chach's victory over 'Rana Mihrut,' soon after his accession to the throne, is said to have 'occurred about the first year of the Hijera.' (622 A.D.) Prof. Dowson places the accession of Chach in A.H. 10. For his discussion of these dates see *Elliot*, I, pp. 406-07 and 412-14. Thus he places the accession of Dīwāji in 495 A.D. taking 137 years as not an improbable period of duration of 5 reigns. Also *Elliot*, I, pp. 410-11.
