Note.—If similarity of name could be allowed as a guide we should pronounce that these three dynasties of Surya and Chandra were all overturnedat the samepe- riod by this Scythic race of Tak, or Takshac, or Turshka, the Turk of Turkisthau. The change is simul- taneous here in the twenty-fifth, in that of Delhi the twenty-eighth and in that of Behar the twenty- seventh prince. The import of each prince of the conquering d) nasty is the same, and if Mr. B’s. trans- position could be admitted, and Vahooman, or Bahman, followed Takshac, we should have the name of a celebrated Persian monarch, said to have been in India, Ards- chir the Kaianite, the Artaxerxes of the Greeks, and nearly his period. Then indeed the Rana’s family, descended from Bahuman, would have \ the Persian origin given by so many authorities. Kretinjya. The Mewar chronicles call Rininjya.
