Rajatarangini
''Rājatarangiṇī'' ( "The River of Kings") is a metrical historical chronicle of north-western Indian subcontinent, particularly the kings of Kashmir, written in Sanskrit by Kashmiri Brahman Kalhana in 12th century CE.〔("Rajatarangini" ) ''Encyclopædia Britannica''. Encyclopædia Britannica Online. Encyclopædia Britannica Inc., 2011. Web. 17 December 2011.〕
The work generally records the heritage of Kashmir, but 120 verses of ''Rājatarangiṇī'' describe the misrule prevailing in Kashmir during the reign of King Kalash, son of King Ananta Deva of Kashmir. Although the earlier books are inaccurate in their chronology, they still provide an invaluable source of information about early Kashmir and its neighbors in the north western parts of the Indian subcontinent, and are widely referenced by later historians and ethnographers.
==Context==
The ''Rajatarangini'' was written in Sanskrit by Kalhana, who was a Kashmiri Brahmin. The ''Rajataringini'' provides the earliest source on Kashmir that can be labeled as a "historical" text on this region. The broad valley of Kashmir, also spelled Cashmere〔"Kashmir." ''The Oxford English Dictionary''. 2nd ed. 1989.〕 is almost completely surrounded by the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal range.
Kalhana states that the valley of Kashmir was formerly a lake. This was drained by the great rishi or sage, Kashyapa, son of Marichi, son of Brahma, by cutting the gap in the hills at Baramulla, derived from Sanskrit वराहमूल (Boar's Molar), वराह (Varaha) meaning Boar + मूल (Mula) meaning deep or root.
