"I am afraid, a mistake of Sir Wolsey Haig in the IIIrd volume of the Cambridge History of India misled the Rai Bahadur (Barua) into taking Prithu to be a king of Kamrupa. It is, therefore, necessary here to discuss again the proofs on which the existence of this Prithu rests. The only authority for the existence of this Prithu is the Tabaqat-i-Nasiri,...I hope it is clear now, that Prithu must have been a man of Audh and not of Kamrupa, and Sir Wolsey Haig's erroneous conjecture led Rai Bahadur Barua into error."
