It is Khod (کھود) in the Calcutta Text and خور in the Bankipore MS., but this is a mistake of the scribes. Khor is situated in 27° 33' and 79° 35' E. about six miles to the East of Shamsabad. The modern town of Shamsabad was built upon the ruins of Khor. The old town of Khor, some three and a half miles distant on the Ganges cliff, was founded about the beginning of the 13th century by a Rathor chieftain. All that remains of Khor is a large mound called the Kot or fort of the Khor Rajas, which rises about 30 feet above the level of the alluvial lowlands. - [Previous: c3.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c3.56) - [Next: c4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c4.1) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c3.57](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c3.57) · Pramāṇa
