The fortunate king of kings, FarruMisiyar, defender of the 
two faiths ; 
1610 From realm to realm ran the news of victory, the haughty 
feared, the humble were enraptured. 
Some pod, some pea free from weevil, some one not the slave

411, 413, Kumwarpur and Binduki are both named by Kamwar Khan ; 
FaLhabad is probably a name for Kajwah — 1 . 422. The “battle- 
pillar” is possibly an allusion to the ran-hhamhh, a wooden post said to 
have stood in the midst of the Kurukhet at Thanesar— 1. 6J5, I have 
failed to make anything of this line — — -1. 706, “ hand ” s^panjah, the 
figure of an open hand, one of the honorary distinctions granted by the 
Emperors — 1. 744, Sdmcliuhai^ “ the true one,” a Hindi equivalent

11 . 883-*85. Not only do these dates seem wrong, but they are
