[p.63]: On the bank of Sun River near Rond there is a stone dated in 1302 AD with the figure of a horseman named Baiju, who is described as Vaghadeva's Dagi (दागी), a term which seems to have been used for some military officer. It is possible that in course of time it gave its name to the occupational caste, now known as Dangi (दांगी), with a military swagger about them found in this part of the country as did Paik (soldier) and Joshi (astrologer) etc to other castes following those professions.
