 The 12th century text "Prithviraja Vijaya" states that Ajayaraja II established the city of Ajayameru (modern Ajmer).Historian Dasharatha Sharma notes that the earliest mention of the city's name occurs in Palha's "Pattavali", which was copied in 1113 CE (1170 VS) at Dhara.This suggests that Ajmer was founded sometime before 1113 CE.
