Source: OpenEdition books: Vividhatīrthakalpaḥ (History)Puhavīrāya (पुहवीराय) (or Pṛthvīrāja in Sanskrit) is a king of the Cāhamāṇa dynasty, as is mentioned in the Vividhatīrthakalpa by Jinaprabhasūri (13th century A.D.): an ancient text devoted to various Jaina holy places (tīrthas).—Accordingly, “Sultan Sāhavadīna exterminates King Pṛthivīrāja of the Cāhuyāna dynasty in the year 1191”.—Note: According to Vividhatīrthakalpa dates, it is probably Pṛthvīrāja III, king of the Cāhamāṇa line (ca. 1162-1191) struggling with the sultan Śiḥāb-ad-dīn (alias Mu'izz-ad-dīn Muḥammad Ghūrī): cf. p. ex. Struggle for Empire 1966 ( 1 1957) p. 109-113.
