Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v1.c17.s5.t2.45

v1.c17.s5.t2.45

Many chiefs of the Chauhan race abandoned their faith to preserve their lands, the Kaimkhani,³ the Sarwanis, the Lowanis, the Kararwanis, and the Bedwanas [97], chiefly residing in Shaikhavati, are the most conspicuous. No less than twelve petty princes thus deserted their faith: which, however, is not contrary to the Rajput creed; for even Manu says, they may part with wife to preserve their land. Isaridas, nephew of Prithwiraja, was the first who set this example.
