Ranchhodji Diwan, A. K. Forbes, James Burgess[1] and Gaurishankar Oza had tried to fix genealogy and chronology.
[2] James W. Watson, in Gazetteer of the Bombay Presidency: Kathiawar Volume VIII (1884), had given the chronology of Chudasama kings.
The bardic accounts are unanimous in ascribing the origin of the Chudasama to Chudachandra of the Samma tribe then ruling at Nagar-Samai or Saminagar (now Thatta, Sindh, Pakistan).
He was a nephew of Vala Ram, the ruler of Vamanasthali (now Vanthali) and succeeded him at the close of the ninth or the start of the tenth century or possibly a few years previously.
[4][3] The bards tell that he had conquered the Asir, Gajan (Khambhat) and king named Som or Somo.
He was succeeded by his son Vishwavarah whose fame had spread across Gujarat and the surrounding states such as Mandugadh (Malwa), Parkargadh (Sindh Frontier), and Kach Makran, the Konkan, Kutch, and Kanauj; according to bards.
The growing power of the Chudasama dynasty and his acts of harassing the pilgrims to Somnath temple resulted in his conflict with Mularaja.
[4][3] According to bardic tales, Kavat was captured and imprisoned by the chief of Shiyal Island off the coast of Saurashtra.
He was liberated by his maternal uncle Uga Vala, chief of Talaja, but had hurt his pride unknowingly.
[4][3] Dyas succeeded Kavat and was defeated and killed by Patan Raja (probably Chaulukya ruler king Durlabharaja).
[4] Another tale says that he defeated Hamir Sumro (probably Soomra ruler) of Sindh when he tried to forcefully capture Jahal, daughter of Devayat, for marriage.
Ranakadevi was captured but she refused to marry and killed herself by committing sati on the banks of Bhogavo river at Wadhwan to protect her honour.
[3] Mahipala was succeeded by his son Khengara who finally subdued Kathis, expelled them from villages which they had occupied and restored them to the Dhank chief.
According to bardic tales, Vala Arjanji of Dhank and Kalian Seth were the chief men of the court of Khengara.
