History of Kanauj to the Moslem Conquest c17.s6.12

c17.s6.12

² The Tabakāt-i-Akbarī of Nizamuddin and the Ta'rīkh-i-Firishta have reversed the order of Mahmud's march against Kanauj. They represent him as proceeding direct to Kanauj, then back to Baran, from there to Mahawan, and lastly to Mathura (see Elliot, II, p. 460; Briggs, I, pp. 57-58). The correct order, however, is given in the Ta'rīkh-i-Yamīnī of Utbi, Rauzat-us-Safā of Mir-Khond, and the Habib-us-Siyar of Khond Mir, which has been adopted in the text (See also Elliot, II, pp. 458-59).
