¹ In the Sundha hill-inscription of Cāciga (V.S. 1319) the eponymous Cāhamāna is stated to have been a source of great pleasure to the sage Vatsa (*EI*, Vol. IX, p. 70 ff.). The Mt. Abu inscriptions of Luntiga (V.S. 1377) says that when the Solar and Lunar races came to an end, the holy Vacca (*i.e.*, Vatsa) brought about the creation of a new race of warriors, the Cāhamānas (*EI*, Vol. IX, pp. 79 ff.). In the recently published Sevadi grant of Ratnapāla (V.S. 1176), however, the *Cāhamāna-vaṁśa* is said to have sprung from a person who came out of the eye of Indra, lord of the East (*EI*, Vol. XI, pp. 304 ff.). These composers of Cāhamāna records were also ignorant of the fire-origin of their patrons as late as the 14th century A.D.
