with out any least hesitation that the author of this table was a well studied man and cleaver hand. He has given a well designed colour resembling truism. We are also prepared to accept it commencing with Arjan singh down to Udaisingh with only exception of Raybhan. With further downward start the real object of its preparation becomes visible in all its nakedness. As it makes Pratapsingh the eldest son of Udaisingh instead of Goolabsingh.
Thus it puts Mota Basdia Sardulsingh the only servivor ( natural ) of Udaisingh through his son Prabhatsingh as the nearest relation to the Ruling family. But we are inclined to beleive that the authour knowingly ignores rather pass over the fucts, that had his assertion been a fact, Goolabsingh, the Grand father of Maharawl Sir Indrasinghji K. C. I. E. the present Roja, would have never been allowed by the British Government to succeed to the Gadi in his own right, whom he puts as the descendant of Kubersingh. This exposition is more than sufficent and therefore we under take, other lables.
EXAMINATION OF UMARGAM TABLES.
Out of the Six Tables found from Umargam sources, the four Geneologies nos. 4, 4;1, 4/2, and 4,3 commence with one Udaisingh, Nos. 4/4 commences with one Mooldeva. The former four geneologies are exclusively of Collateral branch while no. 4,4 combines, Ruling and Collateral, both the branches. For clear understanging and fair knowledge we take up the criticism of all these geneologies one by one below.
· Nos. 4. It is an innocent and correct from begining to end as it
mentions all true facts relating to the variou smembers of the family.
Nos, 4.1. It conceals the very important events of Gumansingh'
adoption from the Junior branch to the Senior, by Sundrba the widow of Kubersingh. By virtue of which he became Senior most member of the family, entitling him and his heirs and successors an access to the Gadi of Badeda, in their own right, whenever that may be falling vacant. Besides, it makes two Gumansingh. One in Senior and other in Junior line. Further on, it is reliable, as it mentions the events of Gemalsingh' adoption by the widow of Nathoobaba.
