This bears still more entirely the character of a Māhātmya or local legend, being intended to celebrate the sanctity of the Balajā river, conjectured to be the same as the Banās in Marwar. There is no clue to its date, but it is clearly modern, grafting personages and fictions of its own invention on a few hints from older authorities.”—Wilson. - [Previous: c5.314](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.314) - [Next: c5.316](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.316) - [Up: c5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.315](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.dowson-1879.c5.315) · Pramāṇa
