followed the accession of Jahangir. The details, which I do 
not propose to reproduce here, can be perused by any English 
reader in Mr. Rogers’ translation of the Tazuk (1, 368, 380). 
Ahmadnagar was restored at some time in Tir XIIR, 
Jumada II. 1026 A.H. (Tazuk, Trans., J. 380). Jahangir 
informs us that Afzal Khan and Ray Rayan (Sundar) were the 
persons employed in these negotiations, and that he promoted 
a of sa as they had “ performed the duties of Wakils to 
~* hah Jahan in a becoming manner’’ (Ibid, I, 368, 387, 
402). 
The dated coins of Ahmadnagar are of 1027 and 1036, 
A.H. (P.M.C., No. 946;1M.C, IIL, No 637), and we may take 
it for certain that the issues of 1027 were stamped in commem- 
oration of this restoration. The undated mintages may be 
fairly supposed to belong to the same period, as they resemble 
them closely in almost all respects. The issues of 1036 A.H. 
are of a very different type. 
‘Turning now to the similar and at least equally rare min- 
tages of Zafarnagar, it is sufficient to refer to the note on that 
place name in Num. Supp. XXXIV, pp. 240-49. The upshot 
of the matter is that Sundar or Raja Bikramajit was ordered 
to return to Tamarni with his entire army and enc amp there 
during the rainy season of 1030 A.H. “ The Raja, in accord- 
ance with the Shah’s (i.e. the Prince Shah Jahan’s) ‘commands, 
selected a spot in the vicinity of the above-named Qasba* * 
and laid the foundations of an exceedingly strong fortress * *~ 
to which _ gave the name of Zafarnagar ”’ (Ibid., 242). 
The very few known coins of Zafarnagar axhibit no date, 
but it is sons that they were struck, under the directions of 
the Raja, to commemorate the glorious termination of his 
master’s campaign, and the foundation of the fortress which 
continued to be a place of strategetical importance throughout 
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (Ibid, 247, note 2). 
e connection of Sundar with Bhujnagar rests, and can be 
established, on at least equally good evidence. It is common 
habeas that Rai Bhara or Rao Bharmalji, the ruler of 
Kachh, paid nolens volens his respects to Jahangir, while the 
latter was encamped at Ahmadabad in 1027 A.H. 
n Sunday, the 24th, (Tir XIIIR) Ray Bihari had the 
good fortune to kiss the threshold: there is not a greater 
Zamindar than this in the country of Gujarat. His country ' 
close to the sea. Bihari and the Jam are from one stem.

At thetime when Ahmadabad was adorned by the 
presence of the retinue of fortune for a short time, he did not 
come to waitonme. His country was somew hat distant. and 
time did not admit of the appointing of a force (against him). 
When it happened that I returned there, my son Shah Jahan 
appointed Raja Bikramajit with an army (jor this purpose), and 
e, seeing his own safety in cominz in, hastened to receive
