History :

 

Hukum Singh Panwar writes Five races descended from Yayati dominated the whole earth. The Panchavratah of the Rig Ved were undoubtedly the Yadu, Turvtsu, Druhvu, Anu and Puru. They were known as the Ail race of the Aryans.

 

Rajatarangini tells....Thus order was slowly restored in the country which Uchchala had got by artifice and had cleared of oppressors. The king who thus obtained peace, felt a desire for conquest, and within a few days drove out the Damaras and their cavalry from Kramarajya. The king then went to Madva and having captured Kaliya and other Damaras who were against him, impaled them. The king with a strong army attacked within the city, the powerful Ilaraja who had gradually possessed himself of a part of the kingdom, and destroyed him. (VIII,p.4)

 

Rajatarangini tells....And who can count how many Yam, El (ail), Abhaya, Vana & c, were made lords of Dvara and other places, and whose prosperity lasted but for short periods. (VIII, p.17) (Ela / Aila).

 

"The numerous royal lines and other ordinary Kshatriyas all represent themselves to be the descendants of Ail and Ikshwaku.The descendants of Ail, O king, as, indeed, the kings of Ikshwaku's race, are, know O bull of the Bharata race, each divided into a hundred separate dynasties. The descendants of Yayati and the Bhoj's are great, both in extent (number) and accomplishments."
