Preliminary Report on the Operation in Search of MSS of Bardic Chronicles

1913

In view of the interest which the Jodhpur and Bikanir Durbars are taking in the collection of Bardic works the Government of India should I think continue the work and make the grant. [...] In the history of Ralputana the Caran appears for the first time as the fomenter of a discord between the Rahtor Pabuji and Jin Rao Kicchi in which Pabuji was killed in the early part of the 13th century A. D. and for the second time as the protector of the young and helpless Olinda who founded the Rahtore Raj of Mandore. [...] The oldest Bhat poet that we know of in Raj putana is Chochu Bildt who in the middle of the 13th century of the Vikram Era sang the glories of the Bagravat brothers. [...] the dialect of the locality in which they were born; and the isolated conditions of the various states of the Rajputana favoured the growth of local dialects and during the 15th 16th and 17th centuries their growth was luxuriant. [...] Formerly a bard that was made Ayacaka thought it his duty to sing the praise of the donor and this he had constantly to do from the top of the gate of the Fort of the donor.
