solar dynasty and at the outset gives the names of 135 kings beginning with Manu, who had their
seat in Ayōdhyā. The last of these kings, Vijaya, is stated to have migrated to the south, carved
out a kingdom for himself and took the title of Āditya for his family. A list of 14 Āditya rulers is
given in the praśasti, of whom the last was Guhāditya whose descendants were known as Guhilauts
(Guhilaputras[1]). In the Āṭpur inscription of Śaktikumāra.[2] V.S. 1034, he is called Guhadatta who
is stated to have belonged to a Brāhmaṇa family and to have come from Ānandapura Baḍaṇagar)
