Description
An unspecified cave somewhere in the wilds of Udaipur (note 1) is associated with the Pushpavati (note 2) giving birth (in 524 AD) to her son Guha or Guhasena (note 3) or Goho or Grahaditya (note 4) because her home Vallabhi (note 5) was sacked. TOD (1829-1832 edited 1914; 1920, 1: 258-268; 1997, 1: 180): Pooshpavati alone escaped the sack of Balabhipoora (Balbhi) … Taking refuge in a cave in the mountains of Mallia, she was delivered of a son. Having confided the infant to a Brahminee of Birnugger, named Camlavati, … she mounted the funeral pyre to join her lord. Camlavati … designated [the child] Goha, or 'cave born'. BRIGGS (1938, 1973: 245-246) refers to TOD (1920).An unspecified cave somewhere in the wilds of Udaipur (note 1) is associated with the Pushpavati (note 2) giving birth (in 524 AD) to her son Guha or Guhasena (note 3) or Goho or Grahaditya (note 4) because her home Vallabhi (note 5) was sacked.
