[The temple of Keshorāi, or Kesava Krishna, is on the N. bank of the
Chambal, 12 miles below Kotah (_Rājputāna Gazetteer_, 1879, i. 238).]
Footnote 10.3.32:
[Indargarh about 30 miles N. of Būndi city: Khatoli 20 miles E. of
Indargarh.]
Footnote 10.3.33:
It is a fact worthy of notice, that the most intrepid of the Rajput
princely cavaliers are of a very devout frame of mind.
Footnote 10.3.34:
[Rāo Bhāo Singh died between March 1677 and February 1678 (Manucci ii.
402).]
Footnote 10.3.35:
Bhim Singh, who had the fief of Gugor bestowed on him, had a son,
Kishan Singh, who succeeded him, and was put to death by Aurangzeb.
Aniruddh was the son of Kishan.
Footnote 10.3.36:
It is useless to repeat that this is a literal translation from the
records and journals of the Hara princes, who served the emperors.
Footnote 10.3.37:
This catastrophe will be related in the Personal Narrative.
Footnote 10.3.38:
_Vide_ Vol. I. p. 473, _et passim_, in which the Bundi Annals are
corroborated by the Annals of Mewar, and by an autograph letter of
Raja Jai Singh of Amber, dated the 19th Phalgun, S. 1775 (A.D. 1719).
Footnote 10.3.39:
These subjects being already discussed in Vol. I. would have had no
place here, were it not necessary to show how accurately the Bundi
princes recorded events, and to rescue them from the charge of having
no historical documents.
Footnote 10.3.40:
This lady was sister to Chamanji, elder brother to Jai Singh, and
heir-apparent to the _gaddi_ of Amber, who was put to death by Jai
Singh. To this murder the Rathor bard alludes in the couplet given in
their Annals, see Vol. II. p. 1059. ‘Chamanji’ ['flower-bed'] is
the title of the heirs-apparent of Amber. I know not whether Chamanji,
which is merely a term of endearment, may not be Bijai Singh, whose
captivity we have related. See p. 1349.
Footnote 10.3.41:
[About 35 miles N. of Būndi city.]

CHAPTER 4
=Mahārāo Ummed Singh, A.D. 1743-1804.=—Ummeda was but thirteen years of
age on the death of his house’s foe, the Raja of Amber, in S. 1800 (A.D.
1744). As soon as the event was known to him, putting himself at the
head of his clansmen, he attacked and carried Patan and Gainoli.[10.4.1]
“When it was heard that the son of Budh Singh was awake, the ancient
Haras flocked to his standard,” and Durjansal of Kotah, rejoicing to see
the real Hara blood thus displayed, nobly sent his aid.
