Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v1.c17.s2.t2.16

v1.c17.s2.t2.16

Indraprastha remained without a sovereign, supreme power being removed from the north to the southern parts of India, till the fourth, or, according to some authorities, the eighth century after Vikrama, when the throne of Yudhishthira was once more occupied by the Tuar tribe of Rajputs, claiming descents from the Pandus. To this ancient capital, thus refounded, the new appellation of Delhi was given; and the dynasty of the founder, Anangpal, lasted to the twelfth century, when he abdicated in favour of his grandson,¹ Prithiviraja, the last imperial Rajput sovereign of India, whose defeat and death introduced the Muhammadans.
