Why should these proselytes, if originally Yadu, assume the name of Jat or Jāt? It must be either that the Yadus were themselves the Scythic Yuti or Yueh-chi, or that the branches intermarried with the Jats, and consequently became degraded as Yadus, and the mixed issue bore the name of the mother. Footnote 2.7.118: The Jadu ka Dang, ‘or hills of Yadu,’ mentioned in the sketch of this race as one of their intermediate points of halt when they were driven from India after the Mahabharata. Footnote 2.7.119: Near the spot where Alexander built his fleet, which navigated to Babylon thirteen hundred years before. Footnote 2.7.120: Translated by Dow, ‘an island.’ Sind Sagar is one of the Duabas of the Panjab. I have compared Dow’s translation of the earlier portion of the history of Ferishta with the original, and it is infinitely more faithful than the world gives him credit for. His errors are most considerable in numerals and in weights and measures; and it is owing to this that he has made the captured wealth of India appear so incredible. Footnote 2.7.121: Ferishta vol. i. [The translation in the text is an abstract of that of Dow (i. 72). That of Briggs (i. 81 f.) is more accurate. In neither version is there any mention of the Sind Sāgar. Rose (_Glossary_, ii. 359) discredits the account of this naval engagement, and expresses a doubt whether the Jats at this period occupied Jūd or the Salt Ranges.] Footnote 2.7.122: [By the ‘Getae’ of the text the author apparently means Mongols.] Footnote 2.7.123: Abulghazi vol. ii. chap. 16. After his battle with Sultan Mahmud of Delhi, Timur gave orders, to use the word of his historian, “for the slaughter of a hundred thousand infidel slaves. The great mosque was fired, and the souls of the infidels were sent to the abyss of hell. Towers were erected of their heads, and their bodies were thrown as food to the beasts and birds of prey. At Mairta the infidel Guebres were flayed alive.” This was by order of Tamerlane, to whom the dramatic historians of Europe assign every great and good quality! Footnote 2.7.124: [The first Hun invasion occurred in 455 A.D., and about 500 they overthrew the Gupta Empire (Smith, _EHI_, 309, 316).] Footnote 2.7.125: _Asiatic Researches_, vol. i. p. 136. Footnote 2.7.126: _Hist. Gén. des Huns_, tom. iii. p. 238. Footnote 2.7.127: [The name Tatar is derived from that of the Ta-ta Mongols (_EB_, xxvi. 448).] Footnote 2.7.128: _Précis de Géographie universelle._ Malte-Brun traces a connexion between the Hungarians and the Scandinavians, from similarity of language: “A ces siècles primitifs où les Huns, les Goths, les Jotes, les Ases, et bien d’autres peuples étaient réunis autour des anciens autels d’Odin.” Several of the words which he affords us are Sanskrit in origin. Vol. vi. p. 370. Footnote 2.7.129:
