² Three inscriptions of Mūlarāja, ranging in date from Aug. A. D. 974 to Jan. 995, are known. According to the Gujarāt chronicles his reign extended from A. D. 942 to 997. He is described as the son of Rāji, king of Kanauj. Rāji is probably one of the many designations of king Mahīpāla, who reigned from about A. D. 910 to about 940. Mūlarāja presumably was his viceroy, and finding an opportunity, threw off his allegiance. See *Ep. Ind.*, x, 76, 77, and *J. R. A. S.*, 1909, pp. 269–72. The date, A. D. 961, which I formerly assigned for the establishment of the Anhilwāra kingdom, does not seem to be right. Mūlarāja was killed by a Chauhān Rāja, named Vigraharāja (II), who was alive in A. D. 973 (*J. R. A. S.*, 1913, pp. 266, 267, 269).
