[Note. In the above list the name of the mahal (6. g. parganah) 
comes first, then the cultivated area in bighas and biswas. Next the 
revenue in dams (40 = 1 akbarshahi rupee) then the “ sayurghal” or 
rent-free lands then the prevailing caste or clan of the inhabitants, and 
the contingent of troops both horse and foot. The abbreviations are 
explained by this note.] 
Of these 21 mahals those numbered 1, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 17, 18, 20, 
are still in existence under the same names and probably with nearly the 
same boundaries as in Akbar’s time. 
The following require some explanation. 
2. Ambodha, now written Amorha, is on the left bank of the 
Gfhogra and is now in the district of Basti in the N. W. Provinces. In 
tho Gonda S. R.f p- H it is said to have included Bamhanipair, but this 
is a mistake as “ Bambhanparah” occurs in the Ain as one of the mahals 
of Sarkar Gorakhpur. Ambodha, however, appears to have included the 
southern part of the present parganah of Nawabgaiij on the left bank of 
the Ghogra facing the city of Ajodhya. 
3. Ibrahimabad is now only a village in parganah Satrikh. 0. G. ii. 
85. 
6. Bilahri is now the northern portion of parganah Sultanpur and 
is called Baraunsa, see below No. 13. 
8. Appears to be now known as Tappah Asl. O. G. iii. 457 where 
there is a partial reconstruction of this and some other sarkars taken 
from the Sultanpiir S. B. by Mr. A. F. Millett, C. S. I have followed 
this officer’s guidance almost entirely, as far as it goes. 
9. Baktaha is not traceable. Mr. Millett says it is now Baksaha in 
Bara Banki district, but this latter is not mentioned either in the Bara 
Banki S. R. (which is meagre on this subject) or in the 0. G. 
II. Rudauli is still in existence but is smaller than in Akbar’s time, 
when it included the present Khandansa parganah to the south-east.
