*Malchār*. This is an obscure word used by ‘Abd-ul-ḥamīd twice, *Bādshāhnāmah*, i, Part 2, p. 107, l. 15, and p. 108, l. 18. Both passages belong to the year 1044 H., 1634-5, and the first refers to the siege of Urchhah, the second to that of Dhāmonī, fortresses in Bundelkhand. The wording in the second instance leads one to infer that the *malchār* was something in the nature of an approach by trenches.
