Fall of the Mughal Empire v4.c54.s1.6

v4.c54.s1.6

∗ Bhāu Singh, the Rājput rānā of Maltwār, annexed the Akrāni pargana in the Satpurā range (in the eastern corner of the East Khāndesh district) and built the fort of Roshmal. His vassal was Jhunjhar Nāyak, the Bhil chieftain of Kherlā (spelt as Cherla in the Persian ms.). The Bombay Gaz. I. pt. ii, 633, adds that "Bhikāji the son of Bhāu S. murdered Jangar, the Bhil Nāyak of Chikli, below the hills, and in revenge Jangar's son Devji killed Bhikāji", after which the Peshwā occupied the country in 1816. Is Jangar a mistake for Junjar? There is a village named Cherla in the Bastar State, Chanda dist., C. P.
