The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v1.c20.128

¹ It was in the middle of the 19th century, that Cunningham first suggested that Firishta's *Nandā* was a misreading for *Gaṇḍa*; see his *ASR* for 1862-63-64-65, Vol. II (Simla, 1871), p. 452. This has been accepted by most scholars. E. Hultzsch in *EI*, Vol. I, p. 219; B. Dey in the *TA* (Bibliotheca Indica), Trans., p. 12, fn. 1; V. Smith in *JASB*, 1881, p. 11; in *IA*, Vol. XXXVII, p. 128 and *JRAS*, 1909, Part I, pp. 278-80 and fn. 1; Dr. R. C. Mazumdar, in *JL*, Vol. X, p. 74, fn.; the *CHI*, Vol. III, also apparently accepts it on pp. 21 ff. and p. 665 under 1022 A.D.
