¹ Ojha (Udayapur Rājya kā Itihāsa) and, following him Haldar (IA, 1929 and 1930) and Qanungo (Prabāsī, Phālgun, 1337 B. S.) hold the view that the Padminī episode is not directly or indirectly mentioned by any contemporary or reliable piece of evidence. But see IHQ, Vol. VII, 1931, pp. 287ff., where Dutta tries to demonstrate that Amir Khusrau indirectly refers to the Padminī episode in his Ta'rīkh-i-'Alāī and that the Kumbhalgadh inscription (V. S. 1517 = Śaka S. 1382 = A.D. 1460) also hints at it.
