connected with the Rind river. Unfortunately, there are no inscrip¬ 
tions to confirm this conjecture, but some may yet be discovered. Ac¬ 
cordingly, I think it desirable that the whole of the Raja’s pedigree, as 
accepted by himself, should be put on record. The MS. in his possession 
from which I translate was written out about 60 years ago by one of the 
Kanungos of the Cawnpur district, which up to 1826 included the present 
Fatehpur district as a subdivision. It was evidently the work of a very 
careless or illiterate scribe, and is in several places quite unintelligible both 
to myself and to members of the family. In the mythological portion some 
well-known names are so grossly misspelt that they would defy recog¬ 
nition but for the context ; thus Santa, daughter of Somapad, appears as 
Santa, daughter of Lomaya ; p and y, which in Nagari are much alike, 
having been confused by the copyist. The MS. would seem to have been 
consulted by Sir H. Elliot, before writing his article on the Gautams in 
the Supplemental Glossary, and he has extracted from it all the facts of 
most conspicuous interest. But the complete genealogy, though for 
many generations it is only a bare string of names, may possibly here¬ 
after be of service in helping to fix a date or determine a person men¬ 
tioned in some other record.
