¹ [Bednūr (Bednore) is now represented by a small country town named Nagar in the western part of Mysore. At the time of Haidar Ali’s attack it was a place of much wealth and importance, and the booty seized by him is stated to have been worth twelve millions sterling. Haidar Ali always attributed the foundation of his subsequent fortunes to the sack of Bednūr. (O.H.I., p. 484, which gives quotations from Wilks’s Sketches of South India, 1810, 1817.)]
