tlie inhabitants of the mountain, on condition of their paying him a certain tribute. They owned, in fact, the land at the foot of the mountain, and this they could not cultivate without the permission of the Sultan.

Rebellion of the Sharif Jalalu-d din in the Province of Ma'bar, etc.

The Sultan had appointed the sliarif, Jalalu-d din Ahsan Shah, to be governor of the country of Ma’bar, which is at the distance of six months’ journey from Dehli. This Jalalu-d din rebelled, usurped the ruling power, killed the lieutenants and agents of the Sovereign, and struck in his own name gold and silver money. On one side of the coins there was impressed the following (letters) : “ toe and he, ye and sin,” (these letters, which form the titles of the 20th and 26th chapters of the Kuran, are among the epithets bestowed upon Muhammad,) and (the words) “ father of fakirs and of the indigent, the glory of the world and of religion.” On the other face the following : “ He who puts his trust in the help of the All-merciful, Ahsan Shah Sultan.” The Sultan, when he was informed of this revolt, set forth to suppress it. ° ° 6

The elephants which execute men have their tusks covered with sharp irons, resembling the coulter of the plough which turns up the ground, and with edges like those of knives. Tbe driver mounts the elephant, and, when a person is thrown in front, the animal winds his trunk round him, hurls him into the air, and, catching him on one of his tusks, dashes him to the ground, when he places one of his feet on the breast of the victim. After this he does as he is directed by his rider, under the orders of the Sultan. If the Sultan desires the culprit to be cut in pieces, the elephant executes the command by means of the irons above de- scribed ; if the Sultan desires the victim to be left alone, the elephant leaves him on the ground, and (the body) is then stripped of its skin.

The Sultan arrived in the country of Tilang, and proceeded to-

wards the province of Ma’bar, to repress the sharif of the country, who had rebelled. He halted at Badrakot, capital of Tilang, three months’ march from Ma’bax. Pestilence then broke out in his army, and the greater part of it perished. 0 0 0 When the Sultan saw this calamity, he returned to Daulatabad. 0 0 0 On his journey he was taken ill, and the rumour spread that he was dead. 0 * * Amir Hushanj, when he heard this rumour, fled to an infidel prince named Burabrah, who dwelt in lofty mountains between Daulatabad and Kukan Tanah (Tana in the Konkan) . 0 0 *

Dearth made its appearance hi various provinces, and the Sultan proceeded with his troops to encamp on the Ganges at ten days’ journey from Delili. [ Rebellion of ’ Ainu-l MulkJ] The wazir con- ducted (the prisoner) ’Ainu-1 Mulk to the presence of the Sovereign. The rebel was mounted on a bull and was quite naked, saving only a scrap of stuff tied by a string round his waist. 0 0 0 The sons of the amirs surrounded the captive, insulted him, spat in his face, and buffeted his companions. 0 0 0 The Sultan directed that the prisoner should be dressed in clothes like those of conductors of pack-horses, that he should have four chains put upon his legs, that his hands should be fastened to his neck, and that he should be given into the custody of the wazir , Khwaja-i Jahan. 0 0 0 The Sultan returned to his capital after an absence of two years and a half. He pardoned ’Ainu-1 Mulk.

During the time that the Sultan was absent from his capital in his expedition to Ma’bar, a famine arose and became serious. The man of wheat rose to sixty dirhams and more. Distress was general, and the position of affairs very grave. One day I went out of the city to meet the wazir, and I saw three women, who were cutting in pieces and eating the skin of a horse which had been dead some months. Skins were cooked and sold in the markets. When bullocks were slaughtered, crowds rushed forward to catch the blood, and consumed it for their sustenance. 0 0 0 The famine being unendurable, the Sultan ordered provisions for six months to be distributed to all the population of Dehli. The judges, secre- taries, and officers inspected all the streets and markets, and sup-

plied to every person provisions for half a year, at the rate of one pound and a half, Mughribi ■weight, each. 0 * $

The Sovereign mounted his horse to enter his capital. * ** Over his head was carried a parasol, and before him was carried the ghashiya, or saddle-cloth, trimmed with gold and diamonds. Some small balistas were placed upon elephants, and as the Sultan ap- proached the city, gold and silver pieces, mixed, were discharged from these machines among the people.

After I had passed forty days in the hermitage, the Sultan sent me some saddled horses, slaves of both sexes, and clothes, and money for my expenses. I dressed myself, and went to wait upon the Sovereign. ° * * When I arrived, he showed me greater honour than ever he had done before, and said, “I have sent for you to make you my ambassador to the King of China, for I know your love for voyages and travels.” He furnished me with all that was necessary, and named the persons who were to go with me.

E.— NOTE TO THE TRANSLATION OF THE TAlHKH-I FrROZ SHA'HT OF ZIATJ-D DIN BARNL

A full translation of Bami’s history of the reign of ’Alau-d din has appeared in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal since the one in this work was printed. That translation was made by the late Major Fuller, Director of Public Instruction in the Panjab, and has been revised and annotated by Mr. Blochmann, the editor of the Journal. Those who are curious may now ascertain the value of the passages omitted from this work. The translation has enabled me to correct one or two slips in my own translation, and mine may, I hope, render a similar service to the other. I proceed to notice some of Mr. Blochmann’s notes.

Kilu-ghari. — The proper spelling is said to be Kilokhari. The pages of this work afford abundant evidence of the great uncertainty in the spelling of names, both of places and persons. The same was

formerly the case in Europe, and although the printing-press has settled the orthography of most names, it has not in all cases decided the mode of spelling. Add to the various spellings the doubts arising from the defects of the Persian alphabet, where 1c is nearly always made to duty for itself and g also, and where a single dot changes the power of a letter, the difficulty and hazard of dogma- tizing are sufficiently obvious. The name may be Kilolchart, and indeed Sir H. Elliot has written it so (p. 525 supra). Syud Ahmad, in the A'sdru-s Sanddtd, also writes it so. But on the other hand, the A'raish-i Mahfil calls it Kilugarhi, and this is the spelling of General Cunningham, in his Archaeological Report on Dehli. With- out pretending to say which is right, the latter pronunciation is most acceptable to my ear.

Kuhrdm, M — Mr. Blochmann says the name is properly Guhrdm, and if he has found it written with a g, it is good evidence of what his author thought it to be. Mr. Blochmann condemns me for spelling it incorrectly, Kohram ; but my spelling was Kahram, which I have since modified to Kuhrdm, upon the assurance that the local pro- nunciation is Kohram. These Persian writers are not the best authorities upon Hindu names ; the vulgar pronunciation is a far better guide to the true etymology, even as the rustic in England is more correct than his betters when he says, Peters’am and Lewis’am, instead of Peter-sham and Lewi-sham.

P. 160. Plain of Judh. — The reading in the Journal is “(crossed) at the fort of Baghpat, after which he encamped in the plain of Jud.” The words in the text are “ guzar hath ubrah hard,” i.e. He passed over the ford (guzar) of hath. This reading is confirmed by one of my MSS., the other one has simply guzar-gdh. For hath the Journal reads “ Baghpat,” though no authority is offered. I followed the plain reading of the last-named MS., thinking that hath might perhaps be ghat, a Hindi word for ferry or ford. Mr. Bloch- mann notices a “ Joondhpoor ” on the Jumna, opposite to Baghpat, which he thinks may be Judh.

P. 162. Jalandhar. — Some variants of this name have been noted. To these may now be added Jarumanjur, from Major Fuller's MS. ; and Jdran-manjhur, from Badauni.

P. 165-6. “ The accursed Zud.” Major Fuller’s MS. agrees as

to “ Zud,” but adds al’ain, like the printed text. In my MSS. it is clearly the usual epithet “ al la? in,” the accursed. The real name is Dawi't or Daud. See supra p. 548.

P. 172. Jhdin. — Mr. Blochmann says, “Jhayin lies near Ran- tambhur. It is known under the name of Naushahr (new city), Badauni, i. p. 190. See Elliot, old edition, p. 193.” The proximity of Jhain to Rantambhor is clear, for it is said to be within a day’s march; but in page 193 supra, Bami speaks of “New City” and Jhain as two distinct places (see also Jour. As. Soc. Beng., 1870,

P. 172. Akat Khan. — Mr. Blochmann writes: “I have written licit Klicin instead of Ulcat, which Major Fuller’s translation has. licit is Turkish, and means young, and would thus be the opposite of Ulugh, which means old, senior.”

P. 172. Bddih. — “The place Badah may be the mauza ’ of Badah, south-west of the town of Jharsah.”

P. 175. “ The Sidtdn proceeded to Bantambhor .” — To this the

Journal adds, “ and pitched his camp at Ran.” Mr. Blochmann adds, “ rather on the Ban. Major Fidler’s MS. has, correctly, dar ran, instead of the absurd dar an of the Ed. Bibl. Indica.” One of my MSS. agrees in this “absurd” reading, and the other, still more distinctly, has “ damn.” The exact words are “ dar Bantambhor raft wa dar an (' darun ) laslilcargah salcht,” “ went to Rantambhor, and there pitched his camp.” A few lines lower, Major Fidler’s translation runs. “ the soldiery used to fill the bags with sand, and throw them into the [ravine] of the Ran.” This second mention of “the Ran” is not to be found in the printed text, nor in either of my MSS. ; they all agree in simply saying, “dar ghdr mi anddlclitand,” “and threw them into the holes.” Thus neither the printed text nor my two MSS. of Barni afford any countenance to the word Ran. But though Bami is thus silent about the Ran, Mr. Blochmann has ample authority for asserting the existence of such a place. He refers to Badauni (ii. 207), who says that Akbar attacked Rantambhor from “the top of the hill of Ran, which commands the fort;” and he quotes the following from the Tuzak-i Jahdng'iri : “On Monday, I inspected the fort of Rantambhor. There are two mountains oppo-

site to each other: one is called Ran, and the other Tamhhor. Though the fort is on the latter, people call it ‘ Rantambhor.’ It is very strong, and has plenty of water. The Ran also is a strong position ; in fact, the only one from which the fort can be taken.” This explanation of the name is rather at variance with Colehrooke’s etymology, already quoted in Yol. II. p. 321. He says it is a corruption of Rana-sthamla-lhramara, “bee of the pillar of war.”

P. 182. Khutas and Balahars. — The general meaning of these terms is sufficiently obvious from the context, but as I could find no authority for fixing a precise meaning upon them, I left the words untranslated. Major Fuller translated them as “landlords and tenants.” Mr. Blochmann adds in a note, “ Baldhar may be Hindustani, and signify a low-caste servant .: Kind is a rare Arabic

word, signifying a fine strong man. From the passages below it is quite clear that these terms mean the strong and the weak, and most probably landlords and tenants , as translated.” Major Fuller says in a footnote that the words are unintelligible to him ; and Mr. Blochmann adds, “ If I did not know that Major Fuller’s. MS. had Tchutah with a kh, I would say that Ichutah was a blunder for fotah with /. I have never seen these terms used in any other book.” The spelling is confirmed by both my MSS.

P. 182. Mr. Blochmann offers an amendment of Major Fuller’s translation in respect of the principles of taxation. My translation differs slightly from both. The author’s words from the Print (p. 287), with variants from the MSS., are —

Both Major Fuller and Mr. Blochmann translate Gao-mesh by cow in- stead of luffalo, but the chief difference appears in the subsequent part of the sentence. My rendering is, “ The second related to buffaloes

1 According to Wilson’s Glossary, the Baldhar is the village watchman, or sweeper, but Barni speaks of him as a tenant, or payer of revenue.

and sheep,1 and other animals from which milk is obtained. A tax for pasturage, at a fixed rate, was to be levied, and was to be demanded for every inhabited house, so that no animal, however wretched, could escape the tax.” The last clause is a free rendering of the original words.2 Major Fuller’s translation, as amended by Mr. Blochmann, runs, “They should levy a grazing tax on every animal that gives milk, from a cow to a she-goat. And this grazing tax was established. Also for every house they should demand a dwell- ing tax, so that no opportunity might be left for evasion or sub- terfuge in levying the tax.” The passage is very obscure, and, as Mr. Blochmann says, the difficult words are, “az pas i liar khanah ,” etc. I have read the words, “ sakunat gar'i ,” as a compound, meaning “ inhabited.” Mr. Blochmann takes the word gar'i to mean house- tax. This rendering, however, seems to be inadmissible here. The text tells us that two regulations were made, one concerning the land, the other relating to milch animals. A house-tax would make three regulations instead of two, for a house-tax could not be classi- fied as part of a tax on milch animals. The words “ az 2ias,” “in the rear ” of every house, probably mean that the back premises were to be searched for the animals. Pasturage in Dehli and Sarhind is scanty, and the practice, as I learn, is to turn the animals out to the common pasturage in the day under the charge of herds- men and boys, and to allow them to come home in the evening.

1 The word gosfand means both sheep and goat ; it would have been better if 1 had adopted the latter meaning.

2 The difficulty rests in the words and tUJs which, from the way they

are connected, ought to have a similarity of meaning. For ghabat, or ghubbat, I can find no satisfactory definition ; it means a young eagle , and this meaning may perhaps be extended to mean any young animal. Shutur-garbah is a phrase used to express the extremes of difference or incongruity, as, — a cat and a camel ! or, as in our nursery language, “ a Cat and a King ! ” (See Koebuck’s Proverbs, I. 268). The general sense of the passage, according to this view, would be — “ So that no young animal (P) or any one as worthless as a cat compared with a camel, might be passed over in the collection of the tax.” Mr. Blochmann has taken it differently. For glxabat he must have read gliaibat, concealment , and as the ordinary meaning of shutur-garbah is not in accordance with this, a new acceptation had to be sought ; and this may be, the passing off a bad thing for a good, as a cat for a camel. The construction of the sentence favours Mr. Blochmann's interpretation, but it requires, first, an amendment of the text ; secondly, a probable, but, as far as I know, an unauthorized rendering of shutur-garbah.

Empty stomachs insure a speedy and certain return, thus affording the inspector an excellent opportunity to count them in the folds and sheds. There is something, however, to be said on the other side. In the following page of the text (288), and in page 323 (Journal pp. 8 and 47), along with the land measurement and pasture tax, there is a tax mentioned called TcarM or garhi (masdhat o TcarM o chardi), which Mr. Blochmann fairly renders as a “house tax.” Such may be the meaning of the word gari in the passage before us, though I think the context is against it.

P. 182. Sharaf Kd'i. — Mr. Blochmann says that, according to Major Fuller’s MS., the correct reading is Kami, from Kd'in, the well-known town in Persia. This is probably right. I followed the printed text ; for my best MS. presented the variants of “ Sharaf All ” and “ Sharaf Kazi," and the other had “ Sharaf Fdi."

P. 192. Major Fuller and Mr. Blochmann are in difficulties about the pay which ’Alau-d din settled for his horse-soldiers. Their trans- lation says, “I will give 234 tankas to a Murattab, and 78 tankas to a do-aspah ; from the former I shall require two horses, with their corresponding equipments, and from the latter one with its usual gear.” So the do-aspah, or two-horse man, is made to have only one horse, and Mr. Blochmann admits in his note that, “ to call a man a do-aspah because he joins the army only with one horse is extraordi- nary.” The passage is not without its difficulty, and I do not insist upon the exact accuracy of my own rendering ; but it is at least con- sistent with the terms of the text and with common sense. Murattab I consider to be the general term for the fully-accoutred horseman, who was to receive 234 tankas per annum, and 78 tankas in addition if he were a do-aspah, with a second horse. So the passage reads, “ I would pay them 234 tankas regularly, and I would allow 78 tankas (in addition) to those who keep two horses, requiring, in return, the two horses with all the necessary appointments. So also as regards the men of one horse, I would require the horse and his accoutrements.” In confirmation of this view, a passage, which I have not translated (p. 319 of the text), says, “ hashrn i murattab ba duwist si chahar tankali wa do aspah ba haftdd o hasht tankah bisydr shud wa mustakim gasht," which, as I read it, says, “the allowance of the horseman ( murattab ) was fixed at 234 tankas, and

that of the do-aspah, or two-horse man, at 78 more ( bisyar ).” Mr. Blochmann’s translation runs, “a Murattab could be enlisted for 234, and a do-aspah for 78 tanlcas .”

P. 193. In line 9 of “ Regulation III.,” for “ a time when,’ read “ a quarter where.” I gratefully acknowledge this correction, and also one in p. 183. As the latter required a sentence to be re- cast, I have, for the benefit of the reader, cancelled the page.

In p. 97, I have noticed the inaccuracies of the edition printed in the Bibliotheca Indica. Mr. Blochmann makes many corrections, and points out numberless errors ; but no doubt, taking into account the imperfect and unsatisfactory MSS. from which it was taken, he says, “ the edition is on the whole good.”

Since the printing of p. 468, a friend has taken exception to my suggested rendering of the word jins by the term specie. The citation of the original word jins indicates its employment in an unusual sense, for the ordinary meaning of the word is things, articles, goods, species. So the interpretation suggested in the passage in question can only be justified by the terms of the context. The passage runs thus : —

If this passage is tested logically, the jins of the nalcd o jins of the

1 The words in brackets are omitted in one MS.

first clause must be something different from the jins which was received in its stead. It must have been something which could be concealed, or payment could not have been evaded ; and so it could hardly have been grain, for com stacks and granaries could not be hidden, and Timur’s soldiers never showed any scruple in helping themselves to all that was wanted in that way. Lastly, the nakd o jins of the first clause is covered in the last clause by the word zar (gold, money) as an equivalent. In the writer’s mind it was evidently associated with nakd (cash), and zar (gold). The loose term “ valuables ” may, perhaps, represent it more nearly than “ specie,” but it is clearly something allied to money.
