³ More recently the identification of Bappa with Khummāṇa has been urged by Prof. S. Dutt. For his arguments see *IHQ*, 1928, pp. 796-97. He points out that the Guhilots of Mewar in the inscriptions of the 15th century and later are described as belonging to *Bappa-vaṁśa* while in earlier inscriptions they are referred to as *Khummāṇa-vaṁśīya*.
