The Dynastic History of Northern India (Early Mediaeval Period) v1.c4.3

v1.c4.3

Within the limited time at my disposal, I have spared no pains to make the Index and the Synchronistic Table as full and accurate as possible. In some cases I have tried to indicate in the Index alternative forms of the spelling of names, so that the reader may find the name from whatever angle of transliteration he approaches the book. I have thus sometimes given the same name twice under different forms. As a general rule modern place names are spelt as they appear in the *Imperial Gazetteer of India (Atlas)*, Vol. XXVI. One important exception is 'Bihar' for Behar. As to ancient Sanskritic names, I have followed the system adopted by Profs. Macdonell and Keith in the *Vedic Index*. Any want of uniformity in the spelling of Arabic and Persian names will, I hope, be rectified to some extent by the Index.
