If these conclusions are correct, it seems likely that before the middle of the 12th century the Tomaras had to dispute with the Muslim invaders the passage of the ‘Delhi gate.’ The king of Delhi who tried to prevent Maḥmūd of Ghazni's sack of Thanesar in A.D. 1014,¹ was very possibly a Tomara. Another occasion when the Tomaras appear to have come into conflict with the Yamīnīs was when Majdūd, the brother of Maudūd (1040-49 A.D.), captured Thanesar and was waiting about 1041-42 A.D. at Hansi for an opportunity to attack Delhi.²
