¹² ‘Iṣāmī writes that when Ulugh Khan took Jhain it got a new name of “Shahr-i-Nau.” Badaoni corroborates him and says, “It (Jhain) is known under the name of Nau Shahr.” Neither Jhain nor any site bearing its changed name Nau Shahr is traceable on the maps now. A small place “Naigaon”, however, which exactly means Shahr Nau lies at a short distance east of Ranthambhor. This may probably be indentified with the Jhain of Barani. *Futūh* p. 261. *Badaoni*, vol. I p. 190.
