¹ *EI*, Vol. I, p. 218; *AGI*, 2nd ed., Calcutta, 1924, p. 551. The form *Jejāhūti* with its capitai Kajurāha occurs in Birūnī's *Indica*, Trans. by Sachau, Trübner, Vol. I, p. 202. Ibn Batuta visited Kajarrā in A. D. 1335. This city must be the same as the Kajurāhah of Bīrūnī and Ibn ul-Athir. Cunningham in his footnote, on p. 551, gives the name of the city visited by Ibn Batuta in the ‘original Persian (a slip for Arabic) characters' as Kajurā. But in the text edited by Defrémery and Sanguinetti (*Voyages d'ibn Batoutah*, Paris 1858, p. 39) it is clearly written as كجرا ; see also *Ibn Batuta*, by Gibb, Routledge, 1229, pp. 226 and 363.
