* This is a distinct personage from Maha-Ranee Chund Kour, wife of 

 Kurruck Sing, mother of No-Nehal, who for a short period was Queen ;

 employed under her government, I never saw her ; much less was she 

 visible to any painter ; consequently, I have not obtained a likeness ; but, 

 in her stead, I give the portrait of Ranee Chunda.
