Note 76 — INDEX

The Prákrit local name was Âno, of which the Sanskritised forms would appear to be Arno, Arnava, Ánáka, and Ánalla as given in the Hammíramahákávya. The genealogy of these kings of Śákambhari or Sámbhar is not settled. The Nadol copperplate dated Saṃvat 1218 gives the name of its royal grantor as Alan and of Alan’s father as Máharaja (Tod’s Rajasthán, I. 804), the latter apparently a mistake for Anarája which is the name given in the Dvyáśraya. Alan’s date being V. 1218, the date of his father Ána would fit in well with the early part of Kumárapála’s reign. The order of the two names Álhana and Ánalla in the Hammíramahákávya would seem to be mistaken and ought to be reversed. ↑
