[535] The above notice of the Kalachuri or Haihaya dynasty of Tripura is taken from the detailed account in the _Jubbulpore District Gazetteer_, pp. 42-47, compiled by Mr. A.E. Nelson, C.S., and Rai Bahadur Hira Lal.

[536] _Early History of India_, 3rd edition, p. 390. This, however, does not only refer to the Jubbulpore branch, whose territories did not probably include the south and east of the present Central Provinces, but includes also the country over which the Ratanpur kings subsequently extended their separate jurisdiction.

[540] The date is too early, as is usual in these traditions. Though the Haihaivansis only founded Ratanpur about A.D. 1050, their own legends put it ten centuries earlier.
