(6) Dr. L. D. Barnett's note on the *Sindas* in *EI*, Vol. XIV, pp. 268-70. He notices the following branches of the family : Sindas of (1) Bāgaḍage (mod. Bāgalkoṭ), (2) Erambarage (mod. Yelburga), (3) Bijapur, (4) Karhāta (Satara District), (5) Bellary District, and (6) Bastar.
(7) *Pṛthvīrāj Rasāo*, (I. 54) ; Chindas (= Sindas) one of the 36 Agnikula Rajputs. the beginning of the 15th century by the Kākatīyas of Warangal when the latter were driven to the north by the Muslims. The Danteswar stone-inscription of Dikpāladeva (1702 A.D.) gives us the genealogy of the Kākatīyas of Bastar for 10 generations beginning from Annamarāja who is stated to have first settled in Bastar from 'Oraṅgal.' Annamarāja is said to have been the brother of Pratāparudra of the lunar race. Hiralal is probably right when he suggests that this Pratāparudra is not the earlier prince of that name who ascended the Warangal throne in *c.* 1294 A.D., but the prince of the same name who was defeated by Aḥmad Shāh Bahmanī in 1422 A.D. See *EI*, Vol. XII, pp. 242-50.
