² See Bühler in *IA*, 1897, Vol. XXV, pp. 164 ff. He also disbelieves Firishta's account. He shows good grounds for believing that Ajmer was not founded till *c.* 1103-1125 A.D. The *Pṛthvīrāja-vijaya*, one of the most reliable chronicles on the Cāhamānas' history, distinctly states that it was Ajayarāja the father of Arṇorāja (1139 A.D.) who built the *Ajayameru* (Ajmer). See also *infra*, *DHNI*, Vol. II, chapter on the *Cāhamānas*.
