[Vighraharāja, or Vīsaladeva, who is said, with doubtful truth, to
have wrested Delhi from the Tomaras (Smith, _EHI_, 387).]
Footnote 10.1.27:
Harsraj and Bijai Raj were sons of Ajaipal, king of Ajmer, according
to the chronicle.
Footnote 10.1.28:
['Destroyer of foes.']
Footnote 10.1.29:
This is a very important admission of Ferishta, concerning the
proselytism of all these tribes, and confirms my hypothesis, that the
Afghans are converted Jadons or Yadus, not Yahudis, or Jews. [The
extract in the text is an inaccurate abstract of Ferishta’s statement
(i. 7 f.). The Gaur Rājputs have no connexion with Ghor.] The Gaur is
also a well-known Rajput tribe, and they had only to convert it into
Ghor. _Vide_ Annals of the Bhattis.
Footnote 10.1.30:
[The account of Ferishta (i. 69) lacks confirmation: see Elliot-Dowson
ii. 434 ff.]
Footnote 10.1.31:
The classical mode of writing the name of Bisaldeo.
Footnote 10.1.32:
_Chattispun._
Footnote 10.1.33:
It is related by the Rajput romancers that Guga had no children; that
lamenting this his guardian deity gave him two barley-corns (_java_ or
_jau_), one of which he gave to his queen, another to his favourite
mare, which produced the steed (Javadia) which became as famous as
Guga himself. The Rana of Udaipur gave the Author a blood-horse at
Kathiawar, whose name was Javadia. Though a lamb in disposition, when
mounted he was a piece of fire, and admirably broken in to all the
manège exercise. A more perfect animal never existed. The Author
brought him, with another (Mirgraj), from Udaipur to the ocean,
intending to bring them home; but the grey he gave to a friend, and
fearful of the voyage, he sent Javadia back six hundred miles to the
Rana, requesting “he might be the first worshipped on the annual
military festival”: a request which he doubts not was complied with.
Footnote 10.1.34:
See note, p. 1450, for remarks on Nadol, whence the author obtained
much valuable matter, consisting of coins, inscriptions on stone and
copper, and MSS., when on a visit to this ancient city in 1821.
Footnote 10.1.35:
We have abundant checks, which, could they have been detailed in the
earlier stage of inquiry into Hindu literature, would have excited
more interest for the hero whose column at Delhi has excited the
inquiries of Jones, Wilford, and Colebrooke.
Footnote 10.1.36:
This lake still bears the name of Bisal-ka-tal notwithstanding the
changes which have accrued during a lapse of one thousand years, since
he formed it by damming up the springs. [About A.D. 1150 (Watson i. A.
50).] It is one of the reservoirs of the Luni river. The emperor
Jahangir erected a palace on the bank of the Bisla Talao, in which he
received the ambassador of James I. of England.
Footnote 10.1.37:
This shows that the Parihars were subordinate to the Chauhans of
Ajmer.
Footnote 10.1.38:
