∗ Here the Chhatraprakash (canto 10) presents several difficulties: (1) The Mughal general is called Bahadur Khan (Kokah or foster-brother of Aurangzib); but we know from official records that both in 1667 and 1669 it was Dilir Kh. who commanded the Mughal forces in Deogarh, (2) Chhatra Sal is said to have been detached to Deogarh by Jai Singh, though the latter died early in July 1667. (3) The Mughals are said to have fought a severe battle before the Deogarh Rajah was compelled to submit; but we know from the Alamgirnamah that the expedition of 1667 resulted in no fighting, as the Deogarh Rajah submitted in fear. In 1669 there was some fighting, but that was long after Jai Singh's death.
