(3) The Rdj’niti, or Barttik Rdj’niti, a Braj Bhakha translation 
of the Hitopadeqa . It was written in Sambat 1869 (A.D. 1812), and 
should be distinguished from translations of Chanakya’s Rajamti. 
(Cf. Nos. 574, 840, 919.) 
(4) The Sabha Bi/as (Bag.), a collection of poetical extracts from 
famous writers in the Braj Bhakha dialect. 
(5) The Madhab Bilas (? Bag.). Cf. No. 896. 
(6) The Lai Chandrika, an excellent commentary on the Sat Sal 
of Bihari Lai, frequently printed. Cf., however, No. 561. 
(7) The Maqardir-i-Bhakha , a grammatical work on the Hindi 
language, in prose and in the Nagarl character. Garcin de Tassy says 
that a copy exists in the Library of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 
(8) The Siyghasan Battisi (Bag.), which was translated in 1804 
by him and Mirza Kazim ‘All from an older Braj Bhakha translation 
by Sundar Das (No. 142). 
(9) The Baital Pach/si (Bag.). Garcin de Tassy gives the following 
particulars concerning this work, which I have not been able to check, 
as in the copies now available in the bazar the preface is not printed. 
This work has also been translated from Sanskrit into Braj Bhakha by 
Surati Misar (No. 326). Lallu translated this version into Hindustani, 
assisted by ll/Iaz’har ‘All Khan Wild ; or rather, it was Wila who was 
assisted by the former. Mr. James Mouat, then Professor of 
Hindustani in the College of Fort William, charged Tar ini Charana 
Mittra with the task of looking over the work and expunging the 
Braj Bhakha words not current in ordinary Hindustani. 
I may mention, in addition to the above, that other translations 
of the same work, and bearing the same name, were made by Sambhu 
Nath (No. 366) and by Bhola Nath (No. 883). 
(10) The novel of Madhonal or Madhabanal (cf. No. 872), in 
the editing of which he was again assisted by Maz’har ‘Ali Khan Wila 
(see Garcin de Tassy, l.c.). This was translated from the work by Moti 
Ram (No. 216), bearing the same name. The legend of IZIddhauanala 
and Kama Kandala is a very old one. There is a copy of the Sanskrit 
version in the Library of the Bengal Asiatic Society, which was written 
as far back as Sambat 1587, or 1530 A.D. (Bajendra Lai Mittra,- 
Notices of Sanskrit Manuscripts , ii, 137.) The story is as follows. 
In Puphauatlnagari (the old name of Bilhari, in the Central Provinces) 
reigned Baja Gobind Rao in the Sambat year 919, or A.D. 862. He 
had a very handsome Brahman attendant named Madhaudnal, who 
was specially skilful in singing and dancing, as well as an adept in
