Footnote 2.7.1:
[This catalogue is now of historical or traditional, rather than of
ethnographical value. It includes some which are admittedly extinct:
others which are proved to be derived from Gurjara and other foreign
tribes, while it omits many clans which are most influential at the
present day, and some of those included in the list are now
represented by scattered groups outside Rājputāna.]
Footnote 2.7.2:
Of his works I possess the most complete copy existing.
Footnote 2.7.3:
Presented to the Royal Asiatic Society.
Footnote 2.7.4:
Moghji, one of the most intelligent bards of the present day; but,
heartbroken, he has now but the woes of his race to sing. Yet has he
forgot them for a moment to rehearse the deeds of Parsanga, who sealed
his fidelity by his death on the Ghaggar. Then the invisible mantle of
Bhavani was wrapt around him; and with the birad (_furor poeticus_)
flowing freely of their deeds of yore, their present degradation,
time, and place were all forgot. But the time is fast approaching when
he may sing with the Cambrian bard:
“Ye lost companions of my tuneful art,
Where are ye fled?”
Footnote 2.7.5:
One of two specimens shall be given in the proper place.
Footnote 2.7.6:
