¹ Identified by Sir Wolseley Haig with the mod. island of Beyt Shankhodhar, an islet at the N.W. corner of Kathīāwar, see *CHI*, Vol. III, p. 25 and fn. 1. Firishta gives the name of the fort as ‘Gundaba.’ Briggs' Trans., Vol. I, p. 74. Bühler identified it with Kanthkot in East Cutch; Col. Watson preferred Gāndhvi on “Kathiavādā coast a few miles N.E. of Miāni” while Dr. Weil favoured Gandhār in Broach, in the mouth of the Dhādhar river; Elliot preferred Khandadār at the N.W. angle of Kathiawar. None of these suggestions are free from difficulties. See *BG*, Vol. I, Part I, p. 167, fn. 4. *IA*, Vol. VI, pp. 185-86. But I prefer Bühler's identification, see *DHNI*, Vol. II, p. 938 and fn. 6.
