[Zabulistan, with its capital, Ghazni, in Afghanistan.]
Footnote 2.7.19:
The date assigned long prior to the Christian era, agrees with the
Grecian, but the names and manners are Muhammadan.
Footnote 2.7.20:
Lodorwa Patan, whence they expelled an ancient race, was their capital
before Jaisalmer. There is much to learn of these regions.
Footnote 2.7.21:
A.D. 1155.
Footnote 2.7.22:
[The capital of Sambos was Sindimana, perhaps the modern Sihwān
(Smith, _EHI_, 101).]
Footnote 2.7.23:
[This is very doubtful.]
Footnote 2.7.24:
They have an infinitely better etymology for this, in being
descendants of Jambuvati, one of Hari’s eight wives. [The origin of
the term Jām is very doubtful: see Yule, _Hobson-Jobson_, s.v.]
Footnote 2.7.25:
The Suraseni of Vraj, the tract so named, thirty miles around Mathura.
Footnote 2.7.26:
Its chief, Rao Manohar Singh, was well known to me, and was, I may
say, my friend. For years letters passed between us, and he had made
for me a transcript of a valuable copy of the Mahabharata.
Footnote 2.7.27:
[Vigraha-rāja, known as Vīsaladeva, Bīsal Deo, in the middle of the
twelfth century, is alleged to have conquered Delhi from a chief of
the Tomara clan. That chief was a descendant of Ānangapāla, who, a
century before, had built the Red Fort (Smith, _EHI_, 386).]
Footnote 2.7.28:
Several Mahratta chieftains deduce their origin from the Tuar race, as
Ram Rao Phalkia, a very gallant leader of horse in Sindhia’s State.
Footnote 2.7.29:
[This is a pure myth (Smith, _EHI_, 385, 413).]
Footnote 2.7.30:
[For a fuller list, see _Census Report, Rajputana, 1911_, i. 255 f.]
Footnote 2.7.31:
From this I should be inclined to pronounce the Rathors descendants of
a race (probably Scythic) professing the Buddhist faith, of which
Gotama was the last great teacher, and disciple of the last Buddha
Mahivira, in S. 477 (A.D. 533). [Buddhism and Jainism are, as usual,
confused.]
Footnote 2.7.32:
Enigmatical—‘Clay formation by fire’ (_agni_).
Footnote 2.7.33:
[The Kuldevi, or family goddess, of the Rāthors in Nāgnaichiān, whose
original title was Rājeswari or Ratheswari, her present name being
taken from the village of Nāgāna in Pachbhadra; and she has a temple
in the Jodhpur fort, with shrines under the _nīm_ tree (_Azadirachta
Indica_) which is held sacred in all Rathor settlements (_Census
Report, Marwar, 1891_, ii. 25).]
Footnote 2.7.34:
Erroneously written and pronounced Kutchwaha.
Footnote 2.7.35:
