³ *TN*, Vol. I, pp. 457-63. *TA*, Trans., pp. 38-39; *TF*, Briggs’ Trans., Vol. I, pp. 171-73. Briggs (Firishta) gives the place of battle as “Narain now called Tirowry on the bank of the Soorsutty, 14 miles from Thenesur, and 80 miles from Dehly.” But Raverty (*TN*, Vol. I, p. 459, fn. 7) pointed out that Briggs had committed a mistake. The name on the litho-graphed edition of the text of Firishta, revised by Briggs himself, is clearly given as ‘Tarā’īn,’ as in the *TN*. It is not unlikely that Briggs meant by his ‘Tirowry,’ the place mentioned by Mīrzā Mughal Beg on the royal road from Karnal to Thanesar as ‘Aẓīmābād-i-Talāwaṛī.
