¹ [Thālnēr (Talneir) lies on the Tāpti, twenty-eight miles north-east of Dhūlia, West Khāndesh District. Inscriptions show that it belonged in 1128 to the Gāulis or Ahīrs. Late in the fourteenth century (1370–99) Malik Rājā Fārūkī chose it as his headquarters; in 1498 it was invested by Mahmūd Begada of Gujarāt; and in 1600 it passed into Mughal possession. The Pēshwā received the fort in 1750, and at the date of its capture by Sir Thomas Hislop, it was held by Holkar. Thālnēr contains the tombs of Major Gordon and Captain Macgregor of the Royal Scots, and also the tombs of four kings of the Fārūkī dynasty of Khāndesh. (I.G., xxiii. 287.)]
