230 J. Beames— On the Geography of India in the Ueign of Ahhar. [No. 2, 
1. Abethi is now spelt Ametlii. The original word appears to 
have been Ambishthi which would give either spelling in its Prakrit 
form. The parganah is now known as Mohanlalganj, the town retains 
the old name. 
5. Asoha is now combined into one parganah with Parsandan 
No. 15. 
6. Unchhganw. This mahal with Tara Singhanr (which appears 
to be the true reading for Bara Shikaur of Blochmann’s text) No. 17 
and Sidhuphr No. 30, has since Akbar’s time been made into the one 
parganah of Danndia Khera. 
7. BilOTanw or -oram is the site of the famous battle in A. D. 1540 
O & 
where Humayun was defeated by Slier Shah. The mahal included the 
modern parganah of Bangar. 0. G. I. 223. 
9. Bijlor is now written Bijnor. The I, however, is right, as the 
original word seems to have been Bijlipiir. 
11. Bahrimau or Pahrimau was the old name of Pirnagar. 
12. Pingwan or Bang wan I cannot find anywhere. Perhaps the 
local officers can enlighten me. 
13. Bithauli. Spelt in the 0. G. Bhitauli. The town is on the 
Doab between the Gogra and Chauka but it is difficult to define the boun¬ 
daries of this mahal and Sailak in Sarkar Avadh (vide supra). 
20. Deorakh. This mahal also I cannot find. 
21. Dadrah appears to account for a portion of the blank space in 
the Bara Banki district not covered (as far as can be seen) by any name 
in the Ain. This space is now divided betweeen the Nawabganj and 
Partabganj parganahs both of which, however, are of very recent crea¬ 
tion. 
22. Bambhirpur is now called Purwa, the last half of the old name 
Bambhirpurwa with the Eastern Hindi lengthened nominative. 
23. Ramkot lies all by itself in the middle of Khairabad. This 
Sarkar has several detached portions besides Ramkot, viz., Garh Ametlii 
and Isauli in S. Avadh, Hardoi in S. Manikpur and perhaps Bithauli in 
Bahraich. 
24. Sandila appears to have included Balamau. 0. G. I. 209. 
25. Saipur is also known as Safipur. 
26. Saron the old name of Sikandarpur near Unao. 
27. Satanpur the old name of Khiron. 
28. Sihali, still a town in parganah Eattihpur of Bara Banki. 
31. Sandi, now called Sissaindi, this is proliably the proper name 
for which Sandi is a copyist’s error. 
38. Kahanjarah, not traceable. 
41. Garanda, probably the same as Cmndwa or Gonda. The text 
may be an error for
