1 Râm. • The name Kshatriya was applied to the crowned rulers of a country or territory. They were quarrelsome, given to robbery and well versed in the art of war. They were brave, courageous and kind. Their sons, other than the heir-apparent, were known as Rajputs, or the song of rulers. Nowadays this word is applied to all the Kshatriyas. In fact, the Rajpâts are next in rank to the Kshatriyas, but these words are used interchangeably. The Kshatriyas are divided into two main sections: (1) the Suraj Bansf ; (2) the Chandar Bansi. Brahma had two sons, Dachha and Uttar, and these were the ancestors of those two tribes. Dachhê was the father of the Sun, front whom came the Saraj Bansis; and Uttar was the father of the Moon, from whom the Chandar Bansis descended. The capital of the Solar dynasty was Allahabad. Every Rajput, of whatever tribe, cagte or segt, is ultimately descended from either the Solar or the Lunar dynasty, and the above table clearly shows the manner of their immigration.
