To this long list, we have to add the works mentioned on pp. 25 to 

 27 ; the ^yJl^i^s^ majma* unnafdis, a tadzkirah of Persian poets, 

 alphabetically arranged according to the takhalluc ;* and the &ud\ jd\j'-> 

 nawddir ialfdz, a dictionary of those Hindi words whose equivalents 

 are rarely met with in Arabic and Persian.

Line 21, read fifteen years' labour, for fifteen years, labour.

Line 4. Read 17, for 27.

Line 15. I do not know, whether Jannatdstdni, or Jannatdshi/dni, 

 or both, be correct. In some historical books both terms are used _pro- 

 miscue, in many dshydni, in others dstdni. In the MS. of the Maasir- 

 ulumara, mentioned in the note of p. 65, dshyani has every where been 

 carefully coirected to dstdni. Even in Akbar's laqab, I have found 

 dstdni, for dshydni. There is no doubt that dshydni conveys a better 

 meaning, than dstdni. Line 5 from below, read of Akbar's mother, for 

 of one of Akbar's ivives. 



Line 3 from below, read teacher, for pupil. The pious are attracted 

 by God.

To the Indian pronunciations mentioned in *., add — ui^lis)^ 

 ghazi uddfn, for cjhdziddin ; u^^jl^vi Diddrbahhsh, for (jS^jt^^ 

 JDddarbahhsh ; *^"^^ baghichah, for B-sp"^ bdgchah. The Indian pro- 

 nunciation olsr*"* 5 , for ol.sr*', is said to be Chagatai. 



* The MS. of our Society, No. 129, goes only to the letter — he; nor do I 

 know, whether Arzu completed the work. I may mention that this MS., 

 to judge from a marginal remark which the binder has half cut away, is 

 written by Sayyid Ghulam 'Ali of Belgram, Arzu's nephew. He was himself a 

 poet, and £rzu has mentioned him under his takhalluc A'zdd. 



From this book, it also appears that the Surmah i Sulaimdni, the twenty- 

 fourth dictionary of p. 5, was compiled by the poet (j>jo>j| £3 Taqi Auhadi 



of Icfahan, the well-known author of a Tadzkirah. He came to India during 

 the reign of Jahangir (1605 to 1627), and must not be confounded with the 

 poet Taqi, of Shustar, one of Akbar's nobles ; vide A. A. p. 230, No. 352. The 

 concluding chapter of the Mir-dt ul 'A'lam gives a few of their verses.
