¹ Abu’l-Faṣl is wrong when he gives the name of the prince under whom Shāh Mīr first took service as Sinhadeva II. According to this authority the adventurer is said to have traced his descent from the Epic hero Arjuna. See *AAK*, Vol. II, pp. 378 and 386. Jonarāja (v. 143 and 146) gives the name of his father and grandfather as Kuruśāha and Tāharāja. Stein points out that he came from the south; see his Trans. of *Rājataraṅgiṇī*, Vol. I, p. 131.
