t is clear that Zafarnagar is to be looked for in the close 
proximity of Tamarni and the river Gharak-pairna. Now I 
find in the Official Gazetteer of Aurangabad District the state-

south of Jafarabad and is surrounded with a strong wall”’

chief town in the Jagir of that name in the Bhokardan T’aluq 
of Aurangabad District. It is ‘‘situated at the confluence of 
the Purna and Kailna rivers in lat. 20° 11’ 35” North and long. 
76° 3’ 35” East. Itis alargeand populous town, surrounded by 
a fortified stone wall, now in a very dilapidated state, but 
a small stone gaddi (fort) inside isin fair order...... There 
are seven masjids and temples in the town, and the principal 
mosque has a Persian inscription recording its construction

fortification has also an inscription which states that it was 
erected under the orders of Shah Jahan by Mustafa Khan Tur-
