¹ On the subsequent history of Nala-pura see : (1) Sarway inscription of Gaṇapati, V.S. 1348 (A.D. 1292), *IA*, Vol. XXII, p. 82. (2) *ASR*, Vol. II, pp. 313 ff. Cunningham thought that Tejkaran, the last Kacchwāha king of the Gwalior region, was a son of Virasiṁha of Narwar (*ibid*, pp. 313-14). According to him, Narwar then fell into the hands of the Parihāras of Gwalior. The last Parihār prince, after the capture of Gwalior by Iltutmish in 1232 A.D., took shelter in Narwar. The Parihārs, according to Cunningham, were dispossessed by Malayavarman, for whom we have the dates from A.D. 1223-1233. He was probably succeeded or ousted by Cāhaḍa (A.D. 1246-54), the ' Jahir Deo ' of Firishta, who submitted to Sultan Nāṣir ud-Dīn of Delhi in A.D. 1250. (*TF*, Brigg, Trans., Vol. I, p. 239.) The dates of his son Āsalla on his coins range from A D. 1254 to 1279. A Narwar fort inscription dated in A. D. 1298, gives the names of Gopāla and Gaṇapati, the son and grandson of Āsalla. As no coins of these two last princes have yet been found, it is likely that they were feudatories of the Khaljī rulers of Delhi. The tribal name of this family was probably *Cāhamāna*, see *infra*, chapter on the Cāhamānas (of Ranastambhapura).
