Source-derived summary

Kakil (died 20 April 1039), also known as Kankil, was the king of the Kachhwaha dynasty from 1036 to 1039. He succeeded Dulha Rai, who ruled the Dhundhar region with their capital at Khoh in present-day Rajasthan.

Early life

Kakil was born to mother Maruni and father Dulha Rai. While some sources present Dulha Rai as his grandfather.

Reign

Dulha Rai died in 1036 AD, after which Kakil was crowned the Kachhwaha king. Whereas according to Jadunath Sarkar, he became the success of Dulha Rai in 1070 AD.

In some sources, the victory over Amber has been attributed to Kakil.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1039, 1036, 1070—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Kakil, king and Khoh.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Kakil” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kakil, king and Khoh provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q126192375. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1039, 1036 and 1070.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
