Bibliography.

v3.c32.1

It would be advisable to gove here the Bibliography for this volume and indeed for this whole history. It is based principally on inscriptions published in (1) Indian Antiquary, (2) Epigraphia Indica, (3) Journals of the B. B. R. A. S. and (4) Journals A. S. J. Bengal and (5) the volumes of Corp. Ins. Ind. In consulting these, one is assisted by Keilhorn’s lists of Northern and Southern Inscriptions published in E. I. Vols. V and VIII. These lists are arranged in chronological order in groups according to the different kingly families to which they belong, and give references to the books where they are published. (6) The District Gazetteers of the several provinces contain valuable information under ‘history’ and ‘people’. (7) For Mahomedan accounts, Elliot Vols. I and II and translations of Al-Beruni’s India, Yamini and Tabakat-i-Nasiri were consulted. (8) Harshacharita, Skanda Purāna Hiuen Tsang’s Travels and Prithvirāj Rāsā supplied useful information.
