Names of places are usually spelt as in the \*Imperial Gazetteer of India\*, for which special enquiries were made to ascertain the correct modern vernacular form. That form was transliterated according to a uniform plan except in cases where official or English literary usage had established a corruption, such as Calcutta, Bombay or Cawnpore. The index contains a number of alternative forms, sometimes not used in the book, for names often spelt differently or for names newly identified in it. - [Previous: v4.c3.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c3.10) - [Next: v4.c3.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c3.12) - [Up: v4.c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c3.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.burn-1937.v4.c3.11) · Pramāṇa
