Of the Cháwura race there were seven individuals; one of whom, Ban Ráj, who first established the principality, appears to have lived sixty years, and the others ruled as follows:—
| Ban Ráj | 60 |
| Jog Ráj | 35 |
| Khím, or Bhím Ráj | 25 |
| Rájá Pithú | 29 |
| Rájá Bijy Singh* | 25 |
| Rájá Ráwat Singh | 15 |
| Rájá Sáwant, or Sámant Singh | 7 |
The Cháwura tribe ruled one hundred and ninety-six years; after which the power passed into the hands of the Solankhí tribe in this manner. Sáwant Singh Cháwura gave his only daughter in marriage to one of the Solankhí tribe; and she becoming pregnant died in childbirth. The child, however, being cut from her womb, was preserved; and, as the moon was then in her 19th mansion, called Múl in Hindí, the boy received the name of Múl-Ráj. Sáwant Singh brought up the boy as his own; and having, in a drunken fit, named him his heir, afterwards denied he had done so. At the death of Sáwant Singh, Múl Ráj found an opportunity to possess himself of the government; and from him descended ten individuals, who reigned two hundred and fifty years and six months:
| Years. | Months. | |
| Múl Ráj* | 56 | |
| Jomúnd* | 12 | 4 |
| Bílba | 7 | |
| Dúrla, the brother of Jamúnd* | 8 | |
| Rájá Bhím Deo | 42 | |
| Rájá Kiran | 31 | |
| Sid Ráj Jey Singh | 50 | |
| Kúnwara Pál | 30 | 6 |
| Ají Pál, who poisoned his master and seized his power | 3 | 1 |
| Lakhú Múl Deo, who was descended from the brother of Bhím Deo | 20 | |
| 253 | 6 |
In the reign of Jamúnd, A. Hij. 416,* A.D. 1025-6, Sultán Mahmúd Ghaznaví marched for Somnáth by way of Multán; when, having invaded the territories of Nahrwálah Patan, Rájá Jamúnd quitted that city, and fled. Mahmúd, after capturing Nahrwálah, made the necessary preparations for his army to march on Somnáth; and, in the month of Zú-l-kadah of the same year, accomplished the conquest of that place. Having afterwards received intelligence that Rájá Jamúnd, the ruler of Nahrwálah, had at this time taken refuge in a certain fort,* distant forty-five farsangs, Mahmúd resolved on capturing it. He accordingly marched against this place, which, on his arrival, was discovered to be a fortification surrounded by deep water on every side. Two divers were brought to him; and, being asked regarding the depth of the water, replied that, although a passage might be effected at a certain place, yet should the flood-tide come in while making the attempt, all of them must perish. Sultán Mahmúd, after confidently intreating the divine favour, advanced through the water with his cavalry, and safely landed them below the walls of the fortification. Rájá Jamúnd Solankhí, observing this, quickly took to flight: and the army of Islám, after obtaining an enormous booty, put the people of the garrison to the sword. The author of the Rauzatu-s-Saffá has given a curious account of this transaction.
