IV. A Stone Inscription containing the genealogy of Sisodid Kings of Chlore
in Meywar Dated Samvat 1339,
This inscription is cut into a black stone placed in the wall on the left side of Rasilji's chhatri, which is near the gate at Chitore leading to Gaumukha. The history begins with the great king Bappa and takes us down to Naravarma. As no impression of the inscription was received, but only a written copy it is difficult to say any thing about the stone itself, still it appears that it must be a very large one from the length of the Sanskrit verses numbering more than sixty. It is dated Samvat 1839. A. D. 1283.

Mitra is both friend and sun here, and the metaphora, derived from these two significations, are blended-apoetical conceit.
