given as Bair or Bariar, or Bilial Sinli, also became a Mnliammadan and 
took the name of Bahadur Khan, and built a fort at Gar hi Jar, which is 
still owned by his descendants. 
53. Raja Mam Dev “created the Rana of Chilli, with a jdgir of 60 
villages in the neighbourhood of Majhawan ” in Pargana Sarh Salimpur. 
54. Raja Bliauraj Dev “gave Har Sinh Dev the title of Rawat 
with Bhaupur and other 14 villages. Gave Beduki to Kedar, a Kapa- 
riya; Majhilganw to Nilmani, Kurmi, and Cliandpur to Cliand, a Bhat.” 
Beduki must mean the town of Bindki, which is now commonly said to 
derive its name from Bandagi Shah, a Muhammadan fakir whom Kirat 
Sinh, one of the Gautam Rajas, had taken under liis protection. The 
Kapariyas are a wandering tribe who go round to houses after a birth, 
singing congratulatory songs and receiving small presents in return. 
Kedar, to whom the grant was made, is said to have contrived the escape 
of one of the Raja’s sons, who was kept as a hostage by the Muhamma¬ 
dans. 
55. Raja Sahadev Raj. 
56. Raja Lachhman Dev. 
57. Raja Bir Sinh Dev “ married a daughter of the Gaharwar of 
Bijaipur. Fought 22 battles against the Emperor. Gave the Chaudhra- 
hat of Pargana Kora to Jaganbansi Brahmans ; 28 villages and the 
command of his army to the Athaiya Gautams ; 12| villages including 
Rampur to Lala Tandsi Lai, Kamdar ; and made a Raj Kumar of Klia- 
rauli with a grant of 4 villages.” The Athaiya Gautams (who evidently 
derive their name from the 28 ( atlidis ) villages that were granted them) 
are said to have been Jinwars by descent and to have ingratiated them¬ 
selves with the Raja by teaching him the game of chess. 
58. Raja Madan Dev. 
59. Raja Man Dev. 
60. Raja Haribaran Dev “ fought against the Emperor Humayun 
at Kalpi and Hamirpur and was defeated.” This appears to be the turning 
point in the fortunes of the family, who had espoused the cause of Slier 
Shah and were thus marked out for vengeance by Humayun on his 
return to India. In the Gazetteer the Raja’s name is incorrectly given 
as Harcharan. 
61. Raja Sangram Dev. 
62. Raja Bhairon Salii “ defeated by the emperor, with total ruin, 
of the family.” 
63. Raja Hamir Dev “ defeated by Shahjalian.” 
64. Raja Bhagavant Dev “ married a daughter of the Sombans 
Raja of Pratapgarh. The family Fort destroyed by Shahjalian.” 
65. Rfija Indrajit Dev.
