Raj Raja Ahumal Solanki, forefather of Ahlawats reigned up to 1068 AD. His son Sameswar II ruled up to 1176 AD. He was dethroned by his brave brother Bikr Manak who crowned him King. He assumed the title of Kul Jang or Vikramaditya IV. He conquered a large part of South Eastern India and in the Northwest up to Kashmir. A reference to this fact is found in a book of Indian History by Misar Bandhu. In the dynastic tables of the Joon and Maare in possession of a bard of Sonipat, Kulutung reigned up to 1227 AD.
