The pair Kalhana : Rajatarangini is correctly matched. Kalhana was a Kashmiri historian who wrote Rajatarangini (River of Kings), a chronicle of the kings of Kashmir, in the 12th century.
Rajatarangini is considered one of the earliest examples of historical writing in India that attempted a systematic chronological account, although it includes mythological elements alongside historical events.
