many remains of brick buildings on the road from Ganj to Nāchna. The people say that Kūthara [the name of the fort at Nāchnā] was a great city in former times, and that it was the capital of the king of the country. The site of Nāchna is still called Khās Kūthara . . . . . There is said to be a tunnel from the fort of Kūthara to the Satna or Gorena-nala which flows past Nāchna, and joins the Kiyān or Ken river, 11 miles to the S.-W. of Ganj . . . . . The position in the entrance of a valley had the great advantage of offering a safe retreat into the recesses of the Vindhya Hills on the east, west, and south, in case of attack.'¹
