644 History of the Gurha Mundala Rajas. [Aug, 



Mundala and the latter towards Chouragurh, in order to distract the 

 attention, and divide the forces of Moora Jeb. He however knew his 

 enemies too well, and pursued closely and incessantly the most 

 formidable, Gunga Gir, who was enabled to collect a few forces in 

 passing by Mundala and Ramgurh, and to make a stand at Bhurura, 

 near Kombhee, and on the bank of the Heerun river. Beaten here he 

 retired upon Chouragurh, where the prince, Nurhur Sa', had now been 

 joined by a considerable force, which Deo Gir, the adopted son of 

 Gunga Gir, had brought from Chundele. Their force united at the vil- 

 lage of Singpore, where they were again beaten by Moora Jee ; and 

 obliged to take shelter in the fort of Chouragurh, which he immediately 

 invested, and very soon took, as it is supposed, by the treachery 

 of Pudum Singh, the jageerdar of Delehree, 



Nurhur Sa' was sent prisoner to the fort of Korae in the purguna 

 of Kimlassa ; and Gunga Gir to Saugor, where he was soon after put 

 to a cruel death by having his hands and legs tied together, and in 

 this state being suspended to the neck of a camel, so that he might 

 come in contact with the knee. The animal was driven about the 

 streets of Saugor, with the Mohunt thus suspended to his neck, till 

 he was dead. Kuramut Khan, was taken prisoner in the action of 

 Legzgur, and sent to Saugor where he was ransomed for twelve 

 thousand rupees by Adhur Opudeea, in gratitude, it is said, for former 

 acts of kindness. He returned to Sureenagur, but was soon after 

 obliged to retire with his family, and take up his residence at Chapara. 

 Nurhur Sa ; died in prison in the fort of Korae a few years after, 

 Samvat 1846 or A. D. 1789. 



Somere Sa' was afterwards released and in 1861 Samvat or A. D. 

 1 804, he was killed in an action which took place at Kislae, between 

 Rughonath Row the subadar of Deoree, and Luchmun Singh 

 jageerdar of . He had taken the part of the latter of these 



chiefs in a contest for dominion.

 Geography. 

 It would be difficult to convey any very precise idea of the bound* 

 aries of the Gurha Mundala dominions when most extended, by de« 

 scription, because they were not marked out by any very distant 

 geographical lines, while those of a political character are either too 

 little known or have been too often changed to afford any assistance. 

 They comprised at the end of the rei^n of Sungram Sa', who died the 

 year Samvat A. D. the following fifty-two gurhs or 



districts.
