This medium intends to remind of Aryan roots, genesis of specific names and surnames, honorific, with details, to give insight of that era, before these pass into oblivion. Not much is known correctly about the rulers of Kas\\'mira except what has been mentioned in Kalhan\\'s Rajatarangini, which in any case covers period upto 1150 AD only.
