_Ummeda_, ‘hope’; _Singh_, ‘a lion.’ Footnote 10.4.7: [On the Nerbudda as a barrier see Vol. II. p. 971.] Footnote 10.4.8: [The Holkar family belonged to the Dhangar, or Marātha shepherd caste, taking their name from the village of Hol on the Nīra River in Poona District (Grant Duff 212; _BG_, xviii. Part ii. 244).] Footnote 10.4.9: See Annals of Mewar, Vol. I. p. 495. Footnote 10.4.10: [10 miles S. of Jaipur city.] Footnote 10.4.11: As in those days when Mahratta spoliation commenced, a joint-stock purse was made for all such acquisitions, so Patan was divided into shares, of which the Peshwa had one, and Sindhia another; but the Peshwa’s share remained nominal, and the revenue was carried to account by Holkar for the services of the Poona State. In the general pacification of A.D. 1817, this long-lost and much-cherished district was once more incorporated with Bundi, to the unspeakable gratitude and joy of its prince and people. In effecting this for the grandson of Ummeda, the Author secured for himself a gratification scarcely less than his. Footnote 10.4.12: [_Āīn_, ii. 102, 274 f.

The British government, in ignorance of these historical facts, and not desirous to disturb the existing state of things, were averse to hear the Bundi claims for the restoration of her proper authority over these her chief vassals. With all his gratitude for the restoration of his political existence, the brave and good Bishan Singh could not suppress a sigh when the author said that Lord Hastings refused to go into the question of the Kothris, who had thus transferred their allegiance to Zalim Singh of Kotah. In their usual metaphorical style, he said, with great emphasis and sorrow, “My wings remain broken.” It would be a matter of no difficulty to negotiate the claims of Jaipur, and cause the regent of Kotah to forgo his interposition, which would be attended with no loss of any kind to him, but would afford unspeakable benefit and pride to Bundi, which has well deserved the boon at our hands. Footnote 10.4.15: [About 30 miles N.E. of Būndi city: for Bijaiseni Māta see Vol. II. p. 1193.] Footnote 10.4.16: The laws of revenge are dreadfully absolute: had the sons of Deo Singh survived, the feud upon their liege lord would have been entailed with their estate. It is a nice point for a subject to balance between fidelity to his prince, and a father’s feud, _bap ka vair_. Footnote 10.4.17: The queens’ apartments. Footnote 10.4.18:
