(p. 133) says five villages were absorbed: (1), Jakha; (2), Jyauti; (3). 
Mukarrabpur; (4), Mustafabad alias Ganwaganw ; (5), part of Nagla Khem 
The place used to be called Sarai Nuri, from Miyan Nuri Shah, a faqir, or as 
some say a eunuch, who built it. In Yakut Khan’s time the site had 
become deserted ; he built a masonry sarai and changed the name. There 
is still an old masjid, bearing the following inscription : 
Masjid-i-'ali bind rah at fizd 
Az latdfat Ndr B a k h s h - i - Fa iz-zd 
Sal tdrilch-ash Khirad guft andar in 
“ Farz add shud andar an bahr-i-Khuda .” 
This gives the year 1086 H. (March 1675—March 1676). 
7. Daryaeganj, in parganah ’Azimnagar of the Eta district, on the 
Aliganj and Patiali road, 28 miles N. E. of Eta. The remains of a large 
brick fort built beneath the old bank of the Ganges are still to be seen. # 
The chelas of former days used to say that Miyan Khan Bahadur 
spent twenty-five lakhs of rupees on these gunges, his house, and the bdighs 
he planted. The house in which Bakhshi Fakhr-ud-daula used to live was 
built by Khan Bahadur ; and he planted the Kala Bagh, and built in it 
the Barahdari where Nawab Muzaffar Jang (1771—1796) was interred. 
Yakut Khaist lost his life with his master, Kaim Khan, in the disastrous 
battle of November 1748, fought with the Rohelas at Dauri Rasulpur near 
Budaon. The tradition is, that his elephant carried off his dead body to 
’Aliganj, and that he was buried there. His tomb is in the midst of an 
enclosure lying at the foot of the fort, surrounded by a low wall of block 
kunker. At the foot of his tomb is a mound which is, tradition says, the 
burial-place of his elephant. The tomb with its well-preserved enclosing 
walls forms, together with the handsome frontage of the ruined tomb on 
the high mound above, the chief feature of interest in the place.f In the 
statement, on the page just cited, that Yakut Khan was originally a Katiya 
Thakur of Angraiya, I suspect there is some confusion between him and 
another chela, Baz Bahadur Khan. At p. 154 of the Gazetteer, we are told 
Khan Bahadur had no issue, which is probably true, as he was a eunuch. Yet 
at p. 69 we hear of his son, Bakhtbuland Khan. In Kali Rae’s “ Fateh- 
garh Nama”, p. 108, line 15, the Kesri Singh Katiya of Angraiya, who 
became a Muhammadan, is said to have borne the name of Baz Bahadur 
Khan, and it is he who was the father of Bakhtbuland Khan, and not Yakut 
Khan, Khan Bahadur. 
2. Daler Khan. We have already given an account of this chela at 
p. 286. There is a Dalerganj called after him. It lies 9 miles N. W. of 
Farrukhabad, on the road to Kaimganj.
