The first collected edition of the Yadava (Seuna) records, with texts and translations, from the Indian Antiquary. It gives the genealogy and titles of Bhillama V (died about 1191), Jaitugi (reigning in 1200) and Singhana, whose accession is dated 1200 by some records and 1210 by others, and the grants of their feudatories in the northern Deccan. Jaitugi's war on the Kakatiyas (the capture and release of young Ganapati about 1198 to 1199) and the Yadava-Hoysala frontier on the Krishna are the matters at issue in 1200. Later finds are scattered through Epigraphia Indica.

The date of Singhana's accession, 1200 or 1210, decides who was Yadava king on 1 January 1200 in some reconstructions; the inscriptions themselves favour Jaitugi still reigning. Hemadri's Vratakhanda (about 1260) gives the dynasty's own genealogy.
