History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v4.c57.2

v4.c57.2

I also critically examined and corrected (from other sources) the *Jedhe Shakavali*, so as to utilize its dates with confidence. The old Persian records of Jaipur, (especially a mass of *Akhbarat*, beginning with 1681 and being the residue of what Col. James Tod had sent to the R.A.S., London), were also copied for me in 1924. The second part of the Portuguese account of the Luso-Maratha War of 1683, copied from the English translation preserved in the India Office, London, reached me just a month too late for use in the first edition, though I gave it to the public shortly afterwards in the Haidarabad Archæological Society's Journal.
