2 W. Irvine — Jangnamali of Farruldisiyar and Jahandar ShnJi. [ISro. 1, 
the Society no more than extracts (680 lines in all) giving the narra- 
tive, and including at least one specimen of eacli kind of verse. For 
the rest I append an alphabetical index of the persons, tribes and 
places introduced. 
There are a few, though not many, unhistorical statements. For 
instance, (lines 31, 32.) ‘Abdullfih Sian is made out to have been at 
Patnah when he was really at Allahabad ; in lines 39-42 Mir Jumlali’s 
asserted opposition to Jahandar Shah is pure myth ; and the dates in 
lines 883-886 are hopelessly wrong. On the other hand, some of the 
details as to localities add to our previous knowledge, and the copious 
use of actual names shows, to my mind, that the author either was 
present in the army or wrote immediately afterwards. 
In several instances the introduction of tribal names is not only 
ingenious but effective. Here is one example : 
1. 1133. Rajput sohde. sdje de, Hddd, Oaur, Somhamsz 
Caunihdn, Camdemle, Bais, Ragliele, Gahanvdr an Raglitibams'i 
Kacliwdha, Sidamld, Haihayabamst, Sirnete, Parihdramsl, 
Gamdharb Sinih Raja snjyo, dal, Bumdelo, Siirajbamsl. 
The kinds of verse used are thirteen in number and are as follows, 
stated in their order of frequency. Kabit, lines 1109-1248, 1465-1576, 
1579-1630 (304 lines), Bilds Gliand, {2\F), Pdddnhul Chand 
171-376 (206), Gita Gliand, 695-894 (200), Hdri Gita OAuncZ, 1309-1464 
(156) Madhubhar Gliand, 423-548 (126), Poliard, 1-20, 39-70, 389-422, 
637-656 (108), Hari Gita, 71-170 (100), Bhujang Praydt Chand, 
549-636, (88), Bird Gliand, 1249-1308 (60), Ardliih 07ia«{7, 657-694 
(38), Tomar Gliand, 21-38 (18) Cliappai Gliand, 377-388, (12), total 
1630 lines. As there seems some irregularity or oversight in the 
numbering of the stanzas, I have substituted an enumeration by lines. 
On the evidence of the work now brought forward, two emenda- 
tions may be suggested in the work by Mr. Grierson above referred to. 
First, the entries IsTo. 156 (Murlidhar) and iMo. 157 (pridliar) on p. 65 
may be united into one of piidhar alias Murlidhar. Secondly, the 
date assigned to him, 1683 A.D., may be made at least thirty years 
later, for the present work, at the very earliest, belongs to 1713 A.D. 
In the pursuit of meanings, sometimes hard to catch, I have 
treated the poet’s spelling with scant respect, making aspirated and 
unaspirafed, dental and cerebral letters, Z’s and r’s, freely interchange- 
able. I have, in fact, chosen “ whatever suits the line.”
