The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c31.s5.65

Chand's statement that Rāi Pithōra (Pṛithirāj) was the son of the daughter of Ānangapāla, king of Delhi, is doubtful. The single imperfect MS. of the *Pṛithivīrāja vijaya* has been described and summarized by Har Bilas Sarda in *J. R. A. S.*, 1913, pp. 259–81, with references to earlier notices of the work. He uses the spelling *Pṛithvī*. The truth of the assertion that Vigraha-rāja wrested Delhi from the Tomaras is extremely doubtful (Bühler, *Proc. A. S. B.*, 1893, p. 94). It seems to be contradicted by verse 22 of the Bijolī inscription (*J. A. S. B.*, part i, vol. lv (1886), p. 31).
