¹ Elliot, Vol. III, pp. 312-15. The *CHI*, Vol. III, p. 178, says that the king of Jājnagar 'took ship for port in the coast of Telingāna' and that Fīrūz reached Puri, occupied the Raja's palace and sent the great idol to Delhi. These statements are not supported by Shams-i-Sirāj. Firishta and Budā'ūnī however state that the Raja fled towards Telingānah. But these are very late. The idol of Jagannātha may have belonged to the private chapel of king's palace at Banārasī.
