v2.c21.29

∗ A. N. 61—66. Aqil Khan, 28-29. Isar-das, 20b. Masum (48a) cannot be trusted. For the description of the battle our main authorities are A. N. 66—73, Aqil Khan 29—31, and Isar-das 20b-21b, (extremely valuable for Jaswant's doings), and secondarily Kambu 11b, and Masum (inaccurate as usual), 48b—51a. Faiyaz, 469-470, and Adab, 164a & b, 206b, 123a, 133b, are very meagre. Bernier is entirely unreliable. Tod (ii. 875) merely records the wild fiction of the Rajput bards. Khafi Khan (ii. 14—18) is not an original authority, but avowedly borrowed from A. N. and Aqil Khan.
