[Gondwāna is the term applied to the Sātpura plateau in the Central Provinces (_IGI_, xii. 321 ff.). The campaign was begun by Āsaf Khan in A.D. 1564. The Bāri in the text, a word meaning ‘dwelling,’ possibly refers to Chauragarh, now in the Narsinghpur District (Smith, _Akbar, the Great Mogul_, 69 ff.). Rāo Surjan was governor of Garha-Katanka or Gondwāna, whence he was transferred to Chunār (_Āīn_, i. 409).] Footnote 10.3.13: See Vol. I. p. 393. Footnote 10.3.14: [Akbar began to reside at Agra in A.D. 1558, and built the fort in 1565-6. The first campaign in Gujarāt took place in 1572. Surat was captured in February 1573.] Footnote 10.3.15: [Ahmadnagar was stormed in August 1600. According to Ferishta (iii. 312) Chānd Bībi was killed by her Deccan troops because she was treating for surrender. By another story, she was poisoned (Smith, _Akbar, the Great Mogul_, 272).] Footnote 10.3.16: [There is an error here. Akbar died in 1605; Jodh Bāi died, it is said by poison, in 1619 or 1622.] Footnote 10.3.17: See Vol. I. p. 408. [The tale seems almost incredible, but Akbar did remove some of his enemies by poison, and the story was the subject of Court gossip (Manucci i. 150). Akbar seems to have died from cancer of the bowels (Elliot-Dowson v. 541, vi. 115, 168 f.). Smith (_Akbar, the Great Mogul_, 325 f.) disbelieves the story, but suspects that he may have been poisoned by some one. See Irvine’s note on Manucci iv. 420.] Footnote 10.3.18: He held Kotah in separate grant from the king during fifteen years. Footnote 10.3.19: He obtained the town of Dipri (on the Chambal), with twenty-seven villages, in appanage. Footnote 10.3.20: [Parvez died from apoplexy at Burhānpur, 28th October 1626 (Beale, _Dict. Oriental Biography_, _s.v._ Parwīz Sultān; Dow 2nd ed. iii. 88).] Footnote 10.3.21: There are about fifty families, his descendants, forming a community round Nimoda. Footnote 10.3.22: This trait in the character of Rao Ratan forcibly reminds us of a similar case which occurred at Ghazni, and is related by Ferishta [i. 86 f.] in commemoration of the justice of Mahmud. Footnote 10.3.23:
