[_Chabūtra_, the platform on which the Kotwāl or chief police officer
does business. For the cry _dohāi_ see Yule, _Hobson-Jobson_, 2nd ed.

Footnote 9.8.9:
[The normal revenue is now believed to be about 65 lakhs of rupees,
roughly speaking, £433,000 (_IGI_, xiii. 395).]
Footnote 9.8.10:
[This may possibly be Kamban in Bharatpur State.]
Footnote 9.8.11:
Kanod was the fief of Amir Singh, Khangarot, one of the twelve great
lords of Amber.
Footnote 9.8.12:
[_Udaka_ means the rite of offering water to deceased relations;
hence, assignments of lands to Brāhmans at such rites (H. T.
Colebrooke, _Essays on the Religion and Philosophy of the Hindus_, ed.
1858, p. 115; Monier-Williams, _Brāhmanism and Hinduism_, 4th ed. p.
304).]
Footnote 9.8.13:
Barwara, Khirni, Sawar, Isarda, etc., etc.
Footnote 9.8.14:
Antardah, Balwan, and Indargarh.
Footnote 9.8.15:
See Dissertation on the Religious Establishments of Mewār, Vol. II. p.
590.
Footnote 9.8.16:
[See pp. 1416, 1422.]
Footnote 9.8.17:
[At present the military forces of the State consist of about 5000
infantry, 5000 Nāgas, 700 cavalry, 860 artillery-men, and 100 mounted
on camels (_IGI_, xiii. 397).]
Footnote 9.8.18:
[There have been several changes in this list of fiefs since the
Author’s time. A later, but apparently inaccurate, list is given in
_Rājputāna Gazetteer_, 1879, ii. 139. An earlier list, made in 1790 by
W. Hunter, appears in “A Narrative of a Journey from Agra to Oujein,”
_Asiatic Researches_, vi. 69.]
Footnote 9.8.19:
[A fuller and more correct list will be found in _Rājputāna Census
Report_, 1911, i. 255.]
Footnote 9.8.20:
The first twelve are the Barah-kothris, or twelve great fiefs of
Amber.
Footnote 9.8.21:
The next four are of the Kachhwaha stock, but not reckoned amongst the
Kothribands.
Footnote 9.8.22:
The last ten are foreign chieftains, of various tribes and classes.
No doubt great changes have taken place since this list was formed,
especially amongst the mercenary Pattayats, or Jagirdars. The quotas
are also irregular, though the qualification of a cavalier in this
State is reckoned at five hundred rupees of income.
Footnote 9.8.23:
[Forty-two miles N.N.E. of Jaipur city, the ancient Vairāta (_IGI_,
vi. 217; _ASR_, ii. 242 ff.).]

comprehends two principalities, namely, Kotah and Bundi. The Chambal
intersects the territory of the Hara race, and now serves as their
boundary, although only three centuries have elapsed since the younger
branch separated from and became independent of Bundi.
