c12.s2.9

⁶⁰ Nizāmuddīn, Ni'āmatulla and Ferishta have Mahraulī. A. B. Pandey accepts it (*First Afghan Empire in India*, 52 and n.). Mahraulī lies only 11 miles distant from Delhi on the Delhi-Gurgaon Road and it would be funny to mention a tract of eight miles from Mahraulī to Sarai Lado as of any consequence. Besides all historians mention the region of Mewat. In all probability the place is Maholi near Mathura. It was a Mahāl in Sarkar Agra, Sūba Agra (Āīn. trs., II, 183 ; Elliot, *Races*, II, 85-86). Its ruler Ahmad Khan Mewatī was a grandson of Bahādur Nāhar and paid his respects to Muhammad Shāh in 838 H (T.M.S., 243).
