Explanation

In the Agnivanshi legend as mentioned in the later recensions of Prithviraj Raso, Vashistha created progenitors of three Rajput dynasties from the sacrificial fire pit - Parihar (Pratiharas), Chaluk (Chaulukya or Solanki), and Parmar (Paramara). These heroes were unable to defeat the demons. So, the sages prayed again, and this time a fourth warrior appeared: Chahuvana (Chauhan). This fourth hero slayed the demons.
