v3.c51.s8.5

∗ Mirat-i-Ahmadi (311) and Ishwardas (80a); the latter authority places these events after Raj Singh's death, which took place on 22nd October, 1680. M. A. (205) distinctly states that late in January 1681, Dayaldas intended to make a night attack on Prince Azam's army near Chitor, but it was defeated with heavy loss to the Rajputs. Tod's authority, the Rajasthani poem Raj-vilas (cantos 15-17), places these raids in Jan.—Feb. 1680, and greatly magnifies the success of Bhim and Dayaldas (i. 400). I attach no weight to the chronology of the bard.
