mad Kazim of the ‘Alamgirnama shows a decided preference 
for the additional ‘ wav,’ and writes Sy no less than a dozen 
times (Bibl. Ind. Text, pp. 31, 211, 223, 336, 337, 340, 343, 
393, 494, 495, 650, 915). Khafi Khan (Bibl. Ind. Text, Vol. IT, 
75, 100) and the author of the Maasir-i- Alamgiri adopt the

M-law, Jahan Khan Lodi, the most powerful and devoted of 
the adherents of his house. By the subsequent assassination 
of Lodi himself, he uprooted, as Badaoni quaintly puts it, “ the 
Plant of his prosperity with the spade of calamity,” and the d
