it in memory of that triumph. (Ma’astru-l-Umara, I, 177, 1. 5.) 
It is also certain that Dharuir was called Fathabad in the tenth 
year of Shah Jahan, for we read in the contemporary chronicle 
that Nar Muhammad ‘Arab was appointed Qil‘adar of olf e 
j9)'@3 sya, i.e. Fathabad, [otherwise] known («3s;2) as Dharar 
Bir [Bhir, 18° 59’ N., 75° 46’ E.] and also of Pathri [19° 15’ N., 
76° 27’ E.| (Badshahnama, I, i, 321-2). It was reached by 
crossing the pass (Ji) of Anjan-dudh, [ Ajanta ? ] ibid., 1 i, 339. 
We are further told that it was in the vicinity of Amba-Jogai 
[18° 41’ N., 76° 24’ E.], ibid., I, i, 329, that the Qasbah of y,0ile 
was ten koss distant from it (ib., I, i, 344), and that it was only 
twelve koss away from the river 3;sJy, 7.e. the Manjra. (Ibid., 
I, i, 331; Elliot and Dowson, VII, 16 and note; see also 
‘Alamgirnama, Bibl. Ind. Text, 1018). According to the 
Maasiru-l-Umara, Dharir, Bir, Jalnapar, Pattan [Mungi-pattan] 
Juner, Sangamner, Ahmadnagar and Daulatabad were all in- 
cluded in the Balaghat (Bibl. Ind. Text, I, 745). Khan Jahan 
Barha reached Dhariir from the side of Bir [ ye Seow 5! | in the 
9th year of Shah Jahan. (Ibid., 1.762.) Khan Zaman was made 
Qil‘adar of Fathabad-Dharar in the 23rd year of the same reign 
on the death of ‘Arab Khan (ib., I, 787). The appointments 
of three other governors of the fort are recorded along with its

and establish the identity of the mint-town with the Dharar 
in the Bhir District. Besides. it must be remembered that 
Fathabad Dharir is here repeatedly said to have been inclu- 
os in the dominions of Shah Jahan and the names of at 
fast two Qil‘adars of the Shah Jahani period are recorded, 
esa Dharwar did not come into the possession of the 
Mughals until after the conquest of Bijapur by Aurangzeb 
“* 1686 4.c. (Bombay Gazetteer, Vol. XXII, 409-410, and 707). 
t follows that Fathabad-Dharar of which the situation is des- 
tibed as above in the chronicle of ‘Abdul Hamid Lahori, which 
ke? ushed before Aurangzeb’s accession to the throne, cannot 
Dharwar at all.
