The fortunate discovery of an image of Hanumān at Arthuna in the year 1918 has revealed the name of Cāmuṇḍarāja’s son and successor. The pedestal of this image bears an inscription dated in (V.) S. 1165 (*c.* 1108 A.D.), in the reign of Vijayarāja, the son of Cāmuṇḍarāja and the grandson of Maṇḍana. Another Arthuna stone-inscription of this king dated in V.S. 1166 (*c.* 1109 A.D.) is preserved in the Rajputana Museum.² What happened to this branch after the reign of Vijayarāja is at present unknown. It seems likely that they were gradually ousted from this region by the rising power of the Guhilas of Mewar. The Guhila prince Sāmantasiṁha (*c.* 1171-79 A.D.), after being in turn ousted from Mewar is reported to have founded a principality in that portion of Vāgaḍa which is now known as the Dungarpur State.³
