Hammira Mahakavya
The Hammira Mahakavya is a Sanskrit epic poem by the Jain scholar Nayachandra Suri, written in the 15th century. It recounts the history of the Chahamana (Chauhan) dynasty and especially the reign of Hammira Deva of Ranthambore and his defence of the fort against Alauddin Khalji in 1301. It is an important, if partly legendary, source for the dynasty.
