It is certainly not Arabic. If the Arabic writers wanted to write ‘son of Jaypāl,’ they would have probably written ‘ibn Jaypāl.’ I am indebted for this suggestion to Dr. W. Mirza of the Lucknow University. \*KZA\* (p. 76), while giving the name as Tarū-Jaypāl sometimes omits the first portion and gives the name as Jaypāl. Apparently he did not consider \*Tarū\* as an essential part of this name. - [Previous: v1.c20.118](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.118) - [Next: v1.c20.120](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.120) - [Up: v1.c20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.119](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.ray-1931.v1.c20.119) · Pramāṇa
