I give this chiefly for the concluding couplet, to see how the Rajputs applied the word _Khotan_ to the lands beyond Kabul, where the great Raja Man commanded as Akbar’s lieutenant: “_Pālan, Pajūn jītē, Mahoba, Kanauj larē, Māndu Mālasi jītē, Rār Rutrāhi kā; Rāj Bhagwāndās jītē, Mavāsī lar. Rājā Mān Singh jītē,_ KHOTAN _phauj dabāī_.” “Palan and Pajun were victorious; Fought at Mahoba and Kanauj; Malasi conquered Mandu; In the battle of Rutrahi, Raja Bhagwandas vanquished. In the Mawasi (fastnesses, probably, of Mewat), Raja Man Singh was victorious; Subjugating the army of KHOTAN.” Footnote 9.1.24: ‘_The_ temple’; the Debal of the Muhammadan tribes: the Rajput seat of power of the Rajas of Sind, when attacked by the caliphs of Bagdad [Yule, _Hobson-Jobson_, 2nd ed. 320.] Footnote 9.1.25: The chronicle says of this Askaran, that on his return, the king (Babur or Humayun) gave him the title of Raja of Narwar. These States have continued occasionally to furnish representatives, on the extinction of the line of either. A very conspicuous instance of this occurred on the death of Raja Jagat Singh, the last prince of Amber, who dying without issue, an intrigue was set on foot, and a son of the ex-prince of Narwar was placed on the _gaddi_ of Amber. Footnote 9.1.26: [This is the first mention of the grading of Mansabdārs (Smith, _Akbar, the Great Moghul_, 362). For Rāja Bihārimall and his son Bhagwāndās, see _Āīn_, i. 328, 333; _Akbarnāma_, trans. Beveridge ii. 244.] Footnote 9.1.27: [Akbar had married the daughter of Bahārmall.] Footnote 9.1.28: It is pleasing to find almost all these outlines of Rajput history confirmed by Muhammadan writers. It was in A.H. 993 (A.D. 1586) that this marriage took place. Three generations of Kachhwahas, namely, Bhagwandas, his adopted son Raja Man, and grandson, were all serving in the imperial army with great distinction at this time. Raja Man, though styled Kunwar, or heir-apparent, is made the most conspicuous. He quelled a rebellion headed by the emperor’s brother, and while Bhagwandas commanded under a prince of the blood against Kashmir, Man Singh overcame an insurrection of the Afghans at Khaibar; and his son was made viceroy of Kabul.—See Briggs’ _Ferishta_, vol. ii. p. 258 _et seq._ Footnote 9.1.29: Bhagwandas had three brothers, Surat Singh, Madho Singh, and Jagat Singh; Man Singh was son of the last. Footnote 9.1.30: Ferishta confirms this, saying he sent one hundred and twenty elephants to the king on this occasion.—Briggs’ _Ferishta_, vol. ii. p. 268. Footnote 9.1.31:
