the house-tax] and the grazing duties having entered into the minds of 

 all the people, all ideas of rebellion vanished from their hearts, and they 

 pursued cheerfully their several avocations and trades. Rantauibhur, 

 Chi'tor, [Mandalgadh], Dhar, Ujain, Mandu, 'Alaipiir, Chanderi, Trij, 

 Siwanah and Jilor,* which are all strong places beyond the limits of 

 the empire [?] had fallen under the control of various provincial gover- 

 nors, and jagirdars [muqta'] ; while the territory of Gnjrat flourished 

 under Alan [Alp?] Khan, Mill tan and Sistan under Tajulniulk Kafuri, 

 and Deopalpur and Lahor under Ghazi Malik Tughluk Shah, Samanah 

 and Sunnam under Malik Akhurbak Nanak (?), Dhar and Ujain under 

 'Ainlmulk of Miiltan, Jhayin under Fakhrulmulk of Mi rat, Chitor 

 under Malik Abu Muhammad, Chanderi and I'rij under Malik Tamar, 

 Badaon, Koelah, and K'harak under Malik Dinar, superintendent of ele- 

 phants, Audh under Malik Takir \_Ed. Bibl. Ind., Baktan], and Karah 

 under Malik Naciruddin Sauteliyah. Kol, Baran, Mirat, Amrohah, 

 Afghan piir, Kabar, and all the districts lying within the Duab, were 

 under the influence of the same law, as if they were one single village ; 

 they were crown lands, and applied to the support of the soldiery.

For 'Aldipur the MSS. of the Kin have 'Aldpur. It is a town with a fort, 

 and also a parganah, in the Sii'kar of Gwaliar. Abnlfazl says that before the 

 time of 'Alauddin it had another name ; but none of the thirteen MSS. in my 

 possession gives the old name legibly ; the MSS. have jl$f\ jl^, and \l$~».

 limits of the Empire, are scarcely correct. Translate, ivhich do not belong to 

 mazbut districts, i.e., they were not yet under Musulman Zdbits or Governors.
