The Pannis are a tribe of Duranis, regarding whom Mr. Elphinstone’s account of Kabul may be consulted. In after times, there was a chieftain of this tribe so celebrated for his generosity and hospitality, that his name has become proverbial: _Banē, to banē Nahīn, Dāūd Khān Panni_: that is, if they failed elsewhere, there was always Daud Khan in reserve. His gallant bearing, and death in Farrukhsiyar’s reign, are related in Scott’s excellent _History of the Dekhan_. [Ed. 1794, ii. 140 ff. The Panni are a sept of the Kākar or Ghurghusthi Pathāns; see Rose, _Glossary_, iii. 198, 223.] Footnote 9.5.7: This will recall to the reader’s recollection a similar custom in the ancient Persian empire, where the tribute of the distant Satrapies was of the same kind. Armenia, according to Herodotus, alone gave an annual tribute of twenty thousand colts. [The statement is made by Strabo p. 529.] Footnote 9.5.8: [Jhārli is about 40 miles N. of Jaipur city.] Footnote 9.5.9: It is always agreeable to find the truth of these simple annals corroborated in the historical remains of the conquerors of the Rajputs. The name of Raesal Darbari will be found, in the Ain-i-Akbari, amongst the mansabdars of twelve hundred and fifty horse; a rank of high importance, being equivalent to that conferred on the sons of potent Rajas. [In _Āīn_ (i. 419) he is called Rāē Sāl Darbāri, son of Rāēmall, Shaikhāwat. The Author represents him to be son of Sūja, and apparently grandson of Rāēmall. He is mentioned in the _Akbarnāma_ (trans. H. Beveridge ii. 390).] Footnote 9.5.10: The Nirwan is a _sakha_, or ramification of the Chauhan race. They had long held possession of these regions, of which Kes, or Kausambi, now Udaipur, was the capital, the city where the grand council of the confederation always meets on great occasions. This may throw light on the Kausambi mentioned on the triumphal pillar at Delhi; the Nirwan capital is more likely to be the town alluded to than Kausāmbi on the Ganges. [The inscription refers to the city in the United Provinces, of which the site is uncertain (V. A. Smith, _JRAS_, 1898, p. 503).] Footnote 9.5.11: [He died, at an advanced age, in the Deccan (_Āīn_, i. 419).] Footnote 9.5.12: [Narasinha, the man-lion incarnation of Vishnu.] Footnote 9.5.13: [Khān Jahān Lodi, an Afghān, commanded in the Deccan under Prince Parvez. In 1628, suspected of disloyalty, he took refuge in Bāglān, the headmen of which place refused to surrender him. But he was obliged to fly and, with his son, was killed by the royal troops on January 28, 1631 (Beale, _Dict. Oriental Biography_, s.v.; _BG_, i. Part ii. 624 f.; Elliot-Dowson vii. 20 ff.).] Footnote 9.5.14: [Not in Ferishta, but in Dow’s continuation (ed. 1812, iii. 112 ff.).] Footnote 9.5.15:
