1 A GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE JUMMOO FAMILY. 221
2 slight and faint hints that he was the founder of the present
3 much-famed Rajwara dynasty, or the supposed head and founder
4 of the Joudpore and Jeypore families. Dulleep is said to
5 have served as a soldier (or Boogjoo hero) under Rajah Seenoo
6 of the principality and fortress of Rhahuk (supposed to be
7 the site of the present Sull; or Seealkote*) and possessed then
8 by a Hindoo tribe or race called Rhahauks or Rauks ; not the
9 Kokuss or the famed giants so called, but their supposed des-
10 cendants. An immemorial hatred caused a long- and continued
11 series of feuds between the Rhahauks and Khaundores,t the
12 then mighty princes forming" the N. W. barrier of India, and in
13 those feuds Dulleep and his Rajpoot successors gained both
14 fame and credit, and were the renowned Boogjoo-daurs of the
15 Rhahauk faction.
16 Thus passed six generations or 180 years, and the lineal
17 descendants thus : — Dulleep 1st or founder ; 2nd, his son
18 Dehu Chund; 3rd, Sooruj Ther ; 4th, Bridd Bull; 5th,
19 Purin Ther; 6th, Therm Kurn. Some short space after
20 the death of the last mentioned, Therm Kurn, great con-
21 sternation and excitement was caused throughout all India,
22 and especially in the present Punjaub, and in all the Rhahauk
23 states, by the victorious advance of the invading Unan forces,
24 and their renowned chief Sekunder (then by the Hindoos ge-
25 nerally called Oondroo and sometimes Koohoondroo) who
26 after a series of rapid successes seems to have ultimately formed
27 a standing camp, or became stationary on the west banks of the
28 Abba or Baba Sceen or Sceend (Indus) and just in the centre
29 * Raja Sull, he that is said to have built the present Sull Kote or Sealkote, was
30 a Rhahauk Chief and Prince, and his descendant Rajah, Resaollah, who lived about
31 the latter end of the last century, was, or is supposed to have been, the last of that
32 race of princes. He at one time conquered as far as the Indus.
33 + The Khaundores were ultimately driven from the country and afterwards settled
34 about the present Candahar, which it is said they founded, and the place took its name
35 from that race.
