² [Jalna (Jaulna) lies on the Kundlika river in Aurangābād District, Hyderābād State. Abul Fazl, Akbar’s minister, once resided here. Since 1903 the cantonment, formerly occupied by the Hyderābād contingent, has been abandoned. The fort built in 1725 is in ruins. (I.G. (1907), xiv. 29.) Bhīr (Bheer) is the headquarters of the tāluka of the same name in Hyderābād State. Possessed originally by the Chālukyas and then by the Yādavas, it was taken by Muhammad bin Tughlak and became the headquarters of one of his Deccan provinces. (I.G. (1907), viii. 112, 113, 117.)]
