Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v2.c28.3

v2.c28.3

The Rāthors.—A concise genealogical sketch of the Rathor rulers of Marwar has already been given;¹ we shall therefore briefly pass over those times “when a genealogical tree would strike root in any soil”; when the ambition of the Rathors, whose branches (sakha) spread rapidly over ‘the region of death,’ was easily gratified with a solar [2] pedigree. As it is desirable, however, to record their own opinions regarding their origin, we shall make extracts from the chronicles (hereafter enumerated), instead of fusing the whole into one mass, as in the Annals of Mewar. The reader will occasionally be presented with simple translations of whatever is most interesting in the Rathor records.
