Titles of Mewar Chiefs
Descent from the Sun
These are styled Ranas, and are the elder branch of the Suryavansi, or children of the sun.' Another patronymic is Raghuvansi, derived from a predecessor of Rama, the focal point of each scion of the solar race. To him, the conqueror of Lanka,’ the genea logists endeavour to trace the solar lines. The titles of many of these claimants are disputed ; but the Hindu tribes yield unani mous suffrage to the prince of Mewar as the legitimate heir to the throne of Rama, and style him Hindua Suraj, or ' Sun of the Hindus.' He is universally allowed to be the first of the ' thirty six royal tribes ' ; nor has a doubt ever been raised respecting his purity of descent. Many of these tribes ' have been swept away by time ; and the genealogist, who abhors a vacuum in his mystic page, fills up their place with others, mere scions of some ancient but forgotten stem.
