April, 1905.] Proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 
which I am capable of commenting is that relating to the time of 
Akbar and his father. At page 4 you speak of the last of the Lodi 
kings falling into the hands of Baber, the exact fact being that he 
was killed in battle, and the battle of “ Baksar” a little lower 
down is a slip for the battle of Chausa (on the other side of the 
Ganges). Your note at pages 48 and 49 on the Hutwa Raj in the 
Ain Akbari should rather be the Hutwa Raj in the Ain and 
the Akbarnama, for the chief references to Kalyanpore and _ its 
Zemindar are in the Akbarnama. Blochmann’s notes to which 
you refer are derived from the Akbarnama, not from the Ain. 
Kalyanpore is twice mentioned in the Akbarnama vol. III. One 
reference is at page 370 which is that mentioned by you, though 
I do not think the original Persian quite warrants the statement 
that the imperialists drove Masum K. Faroukhudi over Kalyan- 
pore to Mahamedabad. The other reference is not mentioned by 
Blochmann, but is the more important of the two, for there Abul 
Fazl refers to Saran and the Zemindar of Kalyanpore.! It occurs 
at page 397, Vol. III, of the Bib. Ind. ed. of the Akbarnama, line 
three from top. After mentioning the borders of Saran on the 
preceding page (396) it says that a rebel named Nur Mahammed 
tried to take refuge with “the Zemindar of Kalyanpore” and did 
not succeed. This reference is in the 28th year of Akbar’s reign 
corresponding to 1582 or 1583 and so you will see that your date 
of 1600 for Raja Kalyan Mall is too late by about 20 years. The 
Koda? or Konah mentioned in Jarrett II, 156, just before Kalyan- 
pore is perhaps the Kuadi of your page 5. By the by, Masum K. 
Faroukhudi was afterwards secretly murdered by Akbar’s orders.

i “T am indebted to the Asiatic Society’s resident Moulvi for the follow- 
ing information from the Akbarnamah :— 
“Noor Muhammad, the out-law. When Khani Azam Mirza Kook took 
post and reached the boundaries of Jaunpore, he received information that. 
that out-law (Noor Muhammad) came from Bengal by the way of Tirhoot and 
made friendship with Khaja Abdul Gafoor Nagshbandi and disturbed the peace 
of the country and began to ravage the district of Saran, having settled at a 
distance of 24 miles from Tirhoot. Meanwhile the royal troops arrived at the 
bank of the Ganges and attempted to construct a bridge over it. Under- 
standing this the enemy tried to take shelter under the zamindar of Kalyan- 
pur butin vain, He was arrested at Chelaran (Champaran).”’ 
2 There is no doubt that “ Kodah (Gawa?)” of Jarrett is Kuadi. Most 
of the names of the Pergs. in Saran mentioned by Abul Fazl have been mis- 
read by Jarrett. As for their correct reading cf. my nutes on the Verna- 
cular dialects of Saran in the Journal, of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Part I, 
No, 3, of 1897, pp. 194-195.
