² The traditional story of the foundation of Delhi by an imaginary Ānangapāla I is fictitious. The earliest remains, excepting the transported iron pillar, date from the eleventh century (*J. R. A. S.*, 1897, p. 13). For the Red Fort (Lālkot), see Cunningham, *Reports*, i, 153. For Indarpat, see Carr Stephens, *Archaeology of Delhi* (8vo ed., 1876), pp. 1-8; Fanshawe, *Delhi Past and Present* (1902), p. 228. There was no Tomara dynasty of Kanauj. Cunningham's argument (*Reports*, i, 150) rests mainly on the misreading of Rāi Jaipāl for Rājyapāl in Al Utbī.
