20. Zakariya, Khan formed a camp on the Ravi outside Lahor 
on the 17th Ramazan 1751 H. (28th December, 1738), 
Elliot, VIII, 79. Nadir Shah was at Pul-i-Shah Daulah, 
some miles north-west of Lahor, on the 9th Shawwal (19th 
January, 1739), and reached the Shalihmar garden east of 
Lah5r on the next day. There was some fighting that day

33. Gampat and Lakhpat. I do not know the meaning of the 
epithet appended to their names, which I read Dawad or 
Ndwad. It occurs again in verse 102 with the alternative 
form of Dudah. I take it to be the name of some branch of 
the Khatrl caste, but I cannot find it in Ibbetson, “ Panjab 
Ethnology.” According to B. M. Or. M. 2043, fol. 5la, 
Lakhpat Rae was diwdn to Zakariya Khan, subahdar of 
LahSr, and Campat was his brother. The same work, 
fol. 50a, asserts that Dalpat, son of Lakhpat Rae, was seized 
as a hostage by Nadir Shah. 
35. Adlnah Beg Khan , a Hindu convert of the Arain caste, 
was born at Sarakpur Patti near Lahor. When Nadir Shah 
took Lahor, this man was faujdar of Sultanpur in the 
Jalandhar dudba (B. M. Or. 2043, fol. 50a). A. B. K. 
died in Muharram 1172 H. (3rd September—2nd October, 
1758), while faujdar of Sirhind, ( T-i-Mhdi ,) year 1172. His 
tomb is at Khanpur near Hoshyarpur (Beale, 34). 
37. According to B. M. Or. 2043, fol. 50a, the diwdn of A. B. K. was 
Bhawanl Das, Dher, a caste which, according to Ibbetson,
