c6.s2.11

³⁵ T.M.S., 134, 169 has Rai Sabīr. Ferishta has Sarwar which is also adopted in C.H.I., III, 205, 207. Neither of these names is correct. He was the Chouhan Raja Sumēr Singh of Etawah and his name is preserved in the dynastic list of the Chouhans. Strangely enough in Ferishta's Urdu translation (I, 246, 247) the correct name Sumēr (سمیر) is given. According to local tradition, Sumēr Singh is said to have founded the Chouhan house of Partabner, which lies six miles west of Etawah. The Rajas of Mainpuri claim him as their ancestor, and he is said to have built the fort of Etawah. U.P. *Gazetteer*, Ed. 1908, XI (Etawah), 129, 206, 220. Hodivala, 392, 394-5, 397.
