gends, as mentioned in my account of Kharakpitir, it was this 
prince who carried on a hopeless war with the Muhammadans, and 
being subsequently conveyed as a prisoner to Dihli, and converted 
to Islam, had to marry a daughter or a relative of the emperor, 
who thereupon granted him several large pergunnahs as jagir by 
way of dowry. All the incidents related by me of this prince, such 
as his dreams, his flight, his refuge in Musakhol, his subsequent 
captivity, conversion and marriage, the suicide of his wife over a 
burning pile, and of his five daughters in the cataract of Panch- 
‘kumar, seem to agree with what is related of him in Muhammadan 
Histories. But it would appear that nearly all this happened 
during his father’s lifetime, and that he took a prominent part in 
his father’s wars,—unless we suppose that, after his father’s death, 
he contrived to make his escape from Dihli, and carry on a war 
with his father’s enemies from 1606 to 1615, when he was made a 
prisoner and converted to Islam. 
It is worthy of notice that Toral Mall’s father was called San- 
gram Shah (from Sangrém meaning battle), and not Singram, as 
the Muhammadan Historians seem to call him. Khorgo Singh 
from whom some would like to derive the name of Kharakpur, 
was brother to Sangram Singh. 
I am now in a position to reply to the queries contained in your 
letter of the 10th December last. 
1. Mahda is a place about 6 miles north from Kharakpir. It 
is called Mahda, or Mahd& Chak. I have not been able to ascer- 
tain whether there are remains of a fort at that place. 
2. There are two places named after Rajah Bihriz. One of 
these is in pargannah Shikarébada, about 4 miles north-east of 
Kharakpir. Another is 6 miles south from Kharakptir,—near 
a place called Dadri, famous in the legend of Dobay Bhyrum, a 
deified Brahman Astrologer who figures conspicuously in the his- 
tory of the Khetauri Rajahs,—a legend which, together with sever- 
al ballads relating to some other deified personages, I intend to 
send to the Asiatic Society. 
There are several other places in Kharakpir named after the 
successive Rijahs of the place. For instance, there is Muzaffar- 
gan) from Muzaffar ’Ali, Faiz ’Aliganj from Faiz ’Ali, Qadir-
