The recently discovered Kulachuri era of the kingdom of Chedi t which kingdom-at one time included Mahoba naturally occurs to the mind but that era would give A. D. 910 920 and 931 respectively as the equvalents of 661 677 and 682 ; and the first and last of the dates so obtained are exactly a century later than the dates resulting from the application of the Sri Harsha era to the other se [...] There can be little doubt that this migration was consequent on the capture of Owliar and the destruction of the Parihar Raj there by Altamish (11titmish) in 1232 A.
