W. Irvine— Beigns of the later Moghul Emperors. [Ho. 4, 
entry in Earn war Khan’s Tdnkh-i-Saldtm-i-GhagJifaiyali, that on the 
22ncl Ramzan, 1122 H. (13th Nov. 1710), Bahadur Shah was encamped 
at Azimabad Talaori, “alias ’Alamgirpur,” being the halting place 
between Karnal and Thanesar. Also, if I recollect rightly, there is a 
village ’Alamgirpur close to the east or left hank of the Jamuna, in the 
Saharanpur district. ’Alamgir was in that part of the country, on at 
least one occasion, on a hunting expedition to Badshahi Mahal and 
pargauah Faizabad (Saharanpur District). 
Mu azzamabId. I have little or no doubt that this mint town should 
be identified with Gorakhpur, Subah Audh. When I was serving in that 
district I recollect seeing the name Mu’azzamabad, Gorakhpur, used in 
the Mawazinah and Kanungoi papers of the end of the last century, 
which twenty years ago were still in existence. Only a few days ago, 
I was reading the autobiography of some un-named dependant on Fazl 
Ali Khan, once Amil of Ghazipur. For a few years Fazl ’All Khan, 
was Faujddr of Gorakhpur (F. Cur wen’s translation of Khair-ud-din 
Muhammad, Allahabadi’s, Tuhfah-i-Tdzah, p. 19). When speaking of 
this appointment, this anonymous writer calls the place “ the Sirkdr of 
Sarwar, otherwise Mu’azzamabad- Gorakhpur.” 
Hasratabad. In the Ma,asir-i Alamgtn (p. 304, year 1098 H.) 
’Alamgir, after taking Haidarabad, advanced agaiust Saklchar, a place 
between Bijapur and Haidarabad. It was then ruled by Hand (or 
Parya, or Paid) Haik, a man of the low Dherh caste. After it had been 
taken, the country ( ulhah ) of Saklchar was by the Emperor’s orders re- 
named Hasratabad \_ihidem , p. 307]. For other notices of it, under its 
new name, see pp. 344, 345, 360, 364, 384, 410, 416, and 513 of the same 
volume. It is also mentioned as Hasratabad-Sagar in the Ma,asir-ul- 
IJmra, II, 291. Thornton, Gazetteer, 936, states that “ Suggur ” is a town 
in the Hizam’s territory, Lat. 16° 36', Long. 76° 51', 124 miles S.-W. by 
W. from Haidarabad. On the map of India in Johnston’s Royal Atlas 
it appears as Sagar. 
Shahabad Kanauj. In the British Museum Catalogue, p. 212, 
there is a coin Ho. 1019, which the author assigns (p. lviii) to Shahabad 
in Audh, disregarding the second word, which he reads Fatuh. I think 
there can be little doubt that this word should be read Kanauj, ^ . 
The name is usually spelt by Muhammadans with y, see, for instance, 
Khafi Khan, Text I, pp. 63, 73, 109 ; also throughout the Am i Ahhari, 
Bloohmann’s translation, I, 32, etc. (entered in his Index under Q). I 
was four years in the Farrukhabad district (in which Kanauj is in- 
cluded), and my recollection is that the old official name of the place was 
Shah&bad Kanauj. It is so styled in Dowson’s Elliot, VIII. 46. I thus 
propose Kanauj, Subah Akbarabad, instead of Shahabad, Sirkar Khaira- 
Md, Sabah Audh.
