Note 5 — CHAPTER 14

I have never had time to learn the purport of this inscription, but hold it, together with a host of others, at the service of those who desire to expound them. For myself, without my old Guru, I am like a ship without helm or compass (as Chand would say) “in ploughing the ocean of (Sanskrit) rhyme.” [Both these inscriptions are dated A.D. 1170. That recording the Chauhān genealogy is printed (p. 1456). The other is a Jain poem called Unnāthshikar Purān, still unpublished (Erskine ii. A. 100).]
