this Eaja of Kanoj was Baj Pdl, Jtyj or Bdjaipdl, J^, which I 

 take to be equivalent to Eaja Jayp&l. Now the 14th prince in Abul 

 Fazl's list* is Jaypdl, whose death, according to the lengths of reigns 

 given in the Ayin Akbari, occurred 287 years and 6 months after the 

 re-building of Dilli by Anang Pal. Adding this number to A. D. 

 736i, we obtain the year 1023f as that of the death of Jayp&l. By 

 comparing the lists of Abul Fazl and Syad Ahmad with those of my 

 Gwalior, Kumaon, and Grarhwal manuscripts, and taking the lengths 

 of reigns according to the majority of these five authorities, the period 

 elapsed from the accession of Anang Pal to the death of Jaypal, 

 amounts to 285 years and 6 months. Adding this number to A. D. 

 736i we get 1021f as the date of JaypaTs death, which is, I believe, 

 within a few months of the true date. According to Ferishta,f 

 Mahmud first heard of the alliance of the Hindu princes against his 

 tributary the king of Kanoj, some time in the Hijra year 412, which 

 began on 17th April, 1021. As several other events are previously 

 recorded, and as Mahmud is said to have marched to his aid at once, 

 I conclude that he may have left Grhazni about October, 1021, and as 

 Kanoj is three months' march distant from Ghazni,J he must have 

 reached that city in January, 1022. On his arrival, Mahmud found 

 that the king of Kanoj had already been attacked and killed. The 

 death of Jaypal must, therefore, have occurred about December, 1021, 

 which agrees almost exactly with the date of his death, which I have 

 already deduced from the genealogical lists. Precisely the same date 

 also is obtained by working backwards by lengths of reigns from the 

 date of Muazuddin's conquest of Dilli in A. D. 1193. 



28, The following lists of the Tomar dynasty of Dilli contain all 

 the information which, up to this time, I have been able to collect. 

 The list of Abul Fazl is given- in the Ayin Akbari ; and Syad Ahmad's 

 list is printed in his Asdr-us-Sunnddid. The Bikaner manuscript, 

 which I obtained in 1846, agrees exactly in the order of the names, 

 and very closely also in the spelling of them, with those of the 

 printed lists just noticed ; but it unfortunately wants the lengths o£ 

 reigns. The G-walior manuscript, which I procured in 1849, agrees 

 very closely with the others as to the lengths of reigns, but it differs
