### [c20.s2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c20.s2.5)

The thirteen Hindu names in Abūl Fazl's list are:—(5) Daswanth; (6) Basāwan; (7) Kesū (Kesava); (8) Lāl; (9) Mukund; (10) Mādho; (11) Jagan\[nāth\]; (12) Mahēsh; (13) Khemkaran; (14) Tārā; (15) Sānwlah; (16) Haribans; and (17) Rām. The signatures of all the seventeen artists named by Abūl Fazl appear in the Clarke MS., except Haribans, No. 16; and reappear in the Jaipur \*Razmnāmah\*, excepting Nos. 1, 2, and 16. I do not remember seeing any picture signed by Haribans. There were two Mādhos, the Elder (\*Kalān\*) and the Younger (\*Khurd\*). Kesū (Kesava) and some other artists are similarly duplicated in the signatures. Abūl Fazl probably referred to the elder persons bearing the names. In the \*Razmnāmah\* I have noted twenty-eight names, of whom twenty or twenty-one are Hindu.
