NIZAMUDDIN, BADAONI AND Ahmad Yādgār¹ call the place Garhā Katanga. Ferishta has Garhā only.² Col. Ranking in a note in Badaonī's translation says, "It would seem we should read Garha Katanga which is the name of the country bounded on the north by Panna, and on the south by the Dakhan".³ B. De the translator of the \*Tabqāt-i-Akbarī\* adds that "the name is not distinctly written" in the various MSS.⁴ Elliot in the translation of the \*Tārīkh-i-Salātīn-i-Afghānā\* reads it as Garra Kantak, but makes no effort to locate its site.⁵ Sir Wolseley Haig identifies it with Katangi, a village lying 23 miles from Jabalpur on the Jabalpur-Sagar Road.⁶
