⁴⁰ The word Gudrang گدرنگ has been written by Yahyā. No such place exists. It may be a mistaken reading for گذرگ or ford, or گذر رنگ the ford of Nārang. It is stated in the Mainpuri Gazetteer that at Nārangī the Jumna contracts to a width of about 50 yards in winter, thus providing a natural ford. It lies very near Rapri. Ferishta and Nizāmuddīn do not make mention of any ford but only say that Ibrāhīm Sharqī crossed the Jumna near Rapri. U.P. Gazetteer, X, 248-49.
