Kehar Rāo.—“ Kehar became renowned for his exploits. Hearing of a caravan (kafila) of five hundred horses going from Aror³ to Multan, he pursued them with a chosen band disguised as camel merchants, and came up with his prey across the Panjnad,¹ where he attacked and captured it, and returned to his abode. By such exploits he became known, and the coco-nut (nariyal) was sent to Majam Rao, and his two elder sons, by Alansi Deora, of Jalor.² The nuptials were celebrated with great splendour, and on their return Kehar laid the foundation of a castle, which he named Tanot in honour of Tana [or Tanuja] Devi. Ere it was completed, Rao Majam died.
