From the above discussion we may conclude that the Tomaras were settled in the district round Delhi from at least the 9th century A.D. During the reign of Bhoja (*c.* 836-82 A.D.) and Mahendrapāla (*c.* 893-907 A.D.) they came into the orbit of the mighty Pratīhāra empire.² But soon after, about the beginning of the 10th century, as the Pratīhāra power began to decline, a section of the tribe probably founded an independent principality round Delhi.³ With the rise of the Cāhamānas of Sākambharī they soon came into conflict with them. The struggle practically ended with the capture of Delhi by Vīsaladeva some time before 1164 A.D.
