A 



fortnight of KatI, of tlie }^ear Sam vat 1585. I am „ 



to whether the song is to be understood as referring to the battle 

 in which rava Jeta Si. fighting on the side of Gago, defeated 

 the Khan of Nagora. The date given by the Jodhpur chro- 

 nicles for the last-mentioned battle is Samvat 1586 (the M&dhi* 

 yam ri Khyata, however, has Samvat 1585), the 1st day of the 

 bright fortnight of Migasara, and, moreover, the name of the 

 place where the battle was fought is not Jakhanivo, but Sevaki. 

 Possibly, Jeta Si and Gago did not fight jointly^ as the chro- 

 nicles seem to imply, but separately. . The Ma Si rd Chanda 

 does not mention the place where the battle took place (see 

 stanzas 247-8). 



The kavitta is anonymous, and is derived from MS. 21 (p. 

 886), of Descr. Cat. of Bar. and Hist. MSS., Sect, ii, pt. i.

1. In the Samvat year fifteen hundred and twenty-five, 

 the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight of Karttika, on Satur- 

 da .v, a battle took place between the Kanaujas 13 and the 



K&bulis,'* [where] the heavenly nymphs [were seen to] alight* 



on the earth for the sake of the distinguished heroes. Thus the 

 Maraas,H the sovereigns, freed the earth, smiting the Muham- 

 naadans. Engaging battle on the field of Jakhanivo, [they] over- 

 turned the Khan | of Nagora] with the points of [their] spears, 

 [hi this way] Jeta Si, the nephew of Jalhana, waged a war 

 against the Mugals.'*
