¹ See *supra*, my chapter on the *Candellas*, *DHNI*, Vol. II, p. 692 fn. 2; also *TA*, Trans. p. 14 and text p. 15. Al-Bīrūnī (*KH*, Vol. I, p. 202) says that between Kajurāha and Kanoj 'there are two of the most famous fortresses in India, Gwāliyār (Gwalior) and Kālanjar.' This occurs in the passage where al-Bīrūnī describes Jajāhuti and its capital Kajurāha. The fort of Gwalior is called 'the pearl of the necklace of Hind' by *Tāj ul-Ma‘āthir*, *Elliot*, Vol. II, p. 227.
