== Founding of Jaisalmer ==
While surveying Trikuta hill, a massive triangular rock rising more than 75 metres out of the surrounding sands, as a more secure location for a new capital, Rawal Jaisal met a sage called Eesul, who was staying on the rock. Upon learning that Jaisal was of [[Yaduvanshi]] descent, Eesul told him that according to ancient mythology [[Krishna]] and [[Bhima]] had come to this location for a ceremony, where Krishna had prophesied that a descendant of his Yaduvanshi clan would one day establish a kingdom here. Eesul showed him a spring which Krishna had created and his prophecy carved into a rock.<ref name="Crump and Toh. Page 208">Crump and Toh. Page 208.</ref> This rock still remains in a well in the Jaisalmer fort. Encouraged by this meeting Jaisal moved his capital to this location and established it in 1156<ref name="Crump and Toh. Page 208"/> in the form of a mud fort and named it Jaisalmer after himself.
