The task now brought to a close by Mr. Campbell has -been very arduous. It has been the subject of his untiring industry for -more than ten years, in the earlier part of which period, however, he -was occasionally employed on additional duties, including the -preparation of a large number of articles for the Imperial Gazetteer. -When the work was begun, it was not anticipated that so much time would -be required for its completion, because it was not contemplated that it -would be carried out on so extensive a scale. Its magnitude may be -estimated by the fact that the Statistical Accounts, exclusive of the -general chapters yet to be reprinted, embrace twenty-seven Volumes -containing on an average 500 pages each. Mr. Campbell could not have -sustained the unflagging zeal displayed by him for so long a period -without an intense interest in the subjects dealt with. The result is -well worthy of the labour expended, and is a proof of the rare fitness -of Mr. Campbell on the ground both of literary ability and of power of -steady application for the important duty assigned to him. The work is -a record of historical and statistical facts and of information -regarding the country and the people as complete perhaps as ever was -produced on behalf of any Government, and cannot fail to be of the -utmost utility in the future administration of the Presidency.</p> -<p>“2. The thanks of Government have already been conveyed to the -various contributors, and it is only necessary now to add that they -share, according to the importance of their contributions, in the -credit which attaches to the general excellence of the work.”</p> -</blockquote> -<p>The whole series of Volumes is now complete, and His Excellency in -Council congratulates Sir James Campbell and all associated with him in -this successful and memorable achievement.</p> -<p class="signed">H.

In 1843 Government called on the Revenue -Commissioner to obtain from all the Collectors as part of their next -Annual Report the fullest available information regarding their -districts.<a class="noteref" id="niii.1src" href="#niii.1" name="niii.1src">1</a> The information was specially to include their own -and their Assistants’ observations on the state of the cross and -other roads not under the superintendence of a separate department, on -the passes and ferries throughout the country, on the streets in the -principal towns, and on the extension and improvement of internal -communications. As from Collectors alone could any knowledge of the -state of the district be obtained, the Collectors were desired to -include in their Annual Reports observations on every point from which -a knowledge of the actual condition of the country could be gathered -with the exception of matters purely judicial which were to be supplied -by the Judicial Branch of the Administration. Government remarked that, -as Collectors and their Assistants during a large portion of the year -moved about the district in constant and intimate communication with -all classes they possessed advantages which no other public officers -enjoyed of acquiring a full knowledge of the condition of the country, -the causes of progress or retrogradation, the good measures which -require to be fostered and extended, the evil measures which call for -abandonment, the defects in existing institutions which require to be -remedied, and the nature of the remedies to be applied. Collectors -also, it was observed, have an opportunity of judging of the effect of -British rule on the condition and character of the people, on their -caste prejudices, and on their superstitious observances. They can -trace any alteration for the better or worse in dwellings<span class="corr" id="xd25e236" title="Not in source">,</span> clothing and diet, -and can observe the use of improved implements of husbandry or other -crafts, the habits of locomotion, the state of education particularly -among the higher classes whose decaying means and energy under our most -levelling system compared with that of preceding governments will -attract their attention. Finally they can learn how far existing -village institutions are effectual to <span class="pagenum">[<a id="xd25e239" href="#xd25e239" name="xd25e239">iv</a>]</span>their end, -and may be made available for self-government and in the management of -local taxation for local purposes.</p> -<p>In obedience to these orders reports were received from the -Collectors of Ahmedábád Broach Kaira Thána and -Khándesh. Some of the reports, especially that of Mr. J. D. -Inverarity, contained much interesting information. These five northern -reports were practically the only result of the Circular Letter of -1843.</p> -<p>The question of preparing District Statistical Manuals was not again -raised till 1870. In October 1867 the Secretary of State desired the -Bombay Government to take steps for the compilation of a Gazetteer of -the Presidency on the model of the Gazetteer prepared during that year -for the Central Provinces. The Bombay Government requested the two -Revenue Commissioners and the Director of Public Instruction to submit -a scheme for carrying into effect the orders of the Secretary of State. -In reply the officers consulted remarked that the work to be done for -the Bombay Presidency would be of a multifarious character; that the -article on the commerce of Bombay would require special qualifications -in the writer; that again special qualifications would be required for -writing accounts of the sacred cities of Násik and -Pálitána, of the caves of Ajanta and Ellora, of the -histories of Sindh Gujarát and Ahmednagar, and of the Portuguese -connection with Western India. The Committee observed that a third form -of special knowledge would be required to write accounts of -Pársis Khojás and other castes and tribes; that in short -the undertaking would be one of much wider scope and greater difficulty -than the preparation of the Gazetteer of the Central Provinces. Much -thought would be required before the general plan could be laid down, -and after the plan was fixed all sorts of questions as to arrangement -and treatment of particular parts would be sure to arise. In the -Committee’s opinion local revenue officers could not as a rule -find time to devote to work of this description without neglecting -their ordinary duties; but they could correct and amplify such -information as a special officer could compile from the published and -unpublished records of Government.</p> -<p>In January 1868 the Bombay Government decided that the general -supervision and direction of the work should be placed in the hands of -a Committee consisting of the Revenue Commissioners, the Director of -Public Instruction, and the Commissioner of Customs, and that an Editor -should be appointed with a small copying establishment to act under the -directions of the Committee. The Editor was to give his entire time to -the work and was expected to <span class="pagenum">[<a id="xd25e247" -href="#xd25e247" name="xd25e247">v</a>]</span>finish it in about a -year. He was to collect and arrange in alphabetical order all recorded -information regarding the towns and other places of interest in each -Collectorate, and to send printed on half margin each draft when -completed to the local officers for verification, additions, and -alterations. When the drafts were returned and corrected by the Editor, -they were to be laid before the Committee. To enable the Editor to meet -such expenses as a fair remuneration for articles contributed by -qualified persons, and also to pay for the printing of the work with -small accompanying maps, an amount not exceeding <abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 12,000 was sanctioned for the total expense of the -Gazetteer including the payment of the Editor. At the outset it was -decided to place a portion of the sum sanctioned not exceeding -<abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 2000, at the disposal of the -Commissioner in Sindh to secure the preparation of articles referring -to Sindh. The Committee were requested to meet at Poona in June 1868 -and to report to Government on the best mode of preparing and editing -the Gazetteer and supervising its publication. The Collectors and -Political Officers were in the meanwhile requested to ascertain what -records in their possession were likely to be useful for the -preparation of a Gazetteer and what papers in the possession of others -and likely to be useful for the purpose were obtainable within their -charge. Collectors and Political Officers were requested to send their -replies direct to the Director of Public Instruction who would collect -them on behalf of the Committee.</p> -<p>In August 1868 the Bombay Gazetteer Committee, composed of Messrs. -A. F. Bellasis Revenue Commissioner N. D. Chairman, Mr. W. H. Havelock -Revenue Commissioner S. D. and Sir Alexander Grant, Director of Public -Instruction, submitted a report recommending the following -arrangements:</p> -<ul> -<li>(1) That Mr. W. H. Crowe, <abbr>C.S.</abbr>, then Acting Professor -in the Dakhan College, be appointed Editor of the Gazetteer with a -monthly remuneration of <abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 200 out of the -<abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 12,000 sanctioned for the expense of -the Gazetteer and that he should at the same time be attached as an -Assistant to the Collector of Poona;</li> -<li>(2) That Mr. Crowe be allowed an establishment not exceeding -<abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 50 a month chargeable to the grant of -<abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 12,000, and such contingent charges as -may be passed by the Committee;</li> -<li>(3) That Professor Kero Luxman Chhatre be requested to assist Mr. -Crowe on various questions both local and mathematical, and that on the -completion of the work a suitable honorarium be granted to Professor -Kero;</li> -<li>(4) That agreeably to the suggestions of Major Prescott and Colonel -Francis, Mr. Light should be directed to compile for the different -districts all information in the possession of the Survey Department in -communication <span class="pagenum">[<a id="xd25e281" href="#xd25e281" -name="xd25e281">vi</a>]</span>with the Editor of the Gazetteer who was -to work under the Committee’s orders;</li> -<li>(5) That the above appointments be made at present for one year -only, at the end of which from the Committee’s progress report, -it would be possible to state with approximate definiteness the further -time required for the completion of the Gazetteer.</li> -</ul> -<p>These proposals were sanctioned on the 11th September 1868. Towards -the close of 1868 Mr. (now Sir) J. B. Peile took the place of Sir A. -Grant on the Committee and Colonel Francis was added to the list of the -members. Adhering as far as possible to the arrangement followed in the -Gazetteer of the Central Provinces, which had met with the approval of -the Secretary of State, Mr. Crowe drew out the following list of -subjects which was forwarded to all Collectors Sub-Collectors and -Survey Superintendents:</p> -<ul> -<li>I.—<span class="sc">General Description.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Latitude and Longitude.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Locality.</li> -<li>(<i>c</i>) Boundaries.</li> -<li>(<i>d</i>) Aspect.</li> -<li>(<i>e</i>) Water-supply.</li> -<li>(<i>f</i>) Rivers.</li> -<li>(<i>g</i>) Mountains.</li> -<li>(<i>h</i>) Area.</li> -<li>(<i>i</i>) Altitude.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>II.—<span class="sc">Climate, Seasons.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Rainfall.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Health.</li> -<li>(<i>c</i>) Prevailing Diseases.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>III.—<span class="sc">Geology.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Soils.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Minerals.</li> -<li>(<i>c</i>) Scientific Details.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>IV.—<span class="sc">History.</span></li> -<li>V.—<span class="sc">Administration.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Judicial.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Revenue.</li> -<li>(<i>c</i>) Miscellaneous.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>VI.—<span class="sc">Revenue.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Imperial.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Local.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>VII.—<span class="sc">Population.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Census.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Description of Inhabitants.</li> -<li>(<i>c</i>) Castes.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>VIII.—<span class="sc">Sub-Divisions.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Names of Tálukás.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Names of Towns.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>IX.—<span class="sc">Production.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Agriculture.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Forest.</li> -<li>(<i>c</i>) Animals.</li> -<li>(<i>d</i>) Minerals.</li> -<li>(<i>e</i>) Manufactures.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>X.—<span class="sc">Trade and Commerce.</span></li> -<li>XI.—<span class="sc">Communications.</span> -<ul> -<li>(<i>a</i>) Roads.</li> -<li>(<i>b</i>) Railways.</li> -<li>(<i>c</i>) Telegraphs.</li> -<li>(<i>d</i>) Post.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>XII.—<span class="sc">Revenue System and Land -Tenures.</span></li> -<li>XVI.—<span class="sc">Education.</span> -<ul> -<li><span class="corr" id="xd25e545" title="Not in source">(<i>a</i>)</span> Schools.</li> -<li><span class="corr" id="xd25e552" title="Not in source">(<i>b</i>)</span> Instruction.</li> -</ul> -</li> -<li>XIV.—<span class="sc">Language.</span></li> -<li>XV.—<span class="sc">Architectural Remains and -Antiquities.</span></li> -<li>XVI.—<span class="sc">Principal Towns and -Villages.</span></li> -</ul> -<p><span class="pagenum">[<a id="xd25e575" href="#xd25e575" name="xd25e575">vii</a>]</span></p> -<p>In 1869 the draft articles prepared by Mr. Crowe were submitted to -Mr. (now Sir) W. W. Hunter of the Bengal Civil Service who expressed -his satisfaction at the progress made. The Committee adopted certain -suggestions made by Sir W. Hunter for the arrangement of the work and -for obtaining fuller district figures from the Marine, Irrigation, -Cotton, and Survey Offices. In March 1870 a further extension of one -year was accorded. The Bombay Government directed that each Collector -should choose one of his Assistants to correspond with the Editor and -obtain for him all possible information from local records. All Heads -of Offices were also desired to exert themselves zealously in aiding -the prosecution of the work. In 1871 Mr. Crowe’s draft article on -the Dhárwár District was sent to Mr. Hunter for opinion -who in addition to detailed criticism on various points made the -following general remarks:</p> -<blockquote> -<p class="first">“My own conception of the work is that, in -return for a couple of days’ reading, the Account should give a -new Collector a comprehensive, and, at the same time, a distinct idea -of the district which he has been sent to administer. Mere reading can -never supersede practical experience in the district administration. -But a succinct and well conceived district account is capable of -antedating the acquisition of such personal experience by many months -and of both facilitating and systematising a Collector’s personal -enquiries. The Compiler does not seem to have caught the points on -which a Collector would naturally consult the Account. In order that -the Editor should understand these points it is necessary that he -should have had practical acquaintance with district administration and -that he should himself have experienced the difficulties which beset an -officer on his taking charge of a district or sub-division. The -individual points will differ according to the character of the -country. For example in deltaic districts the important question is the -control of rivers; in dry districts it is the subject of water-supply. -But in all cases a District Account besides dealing with the local -specialties should furnish an historical narration of its revenue and -expenditure since it passed under the British rule, of the sums which -we have taken from it in taxes, and of the amount which we have -returned to it in the protection of property and person and the other -charges of civil government.”</p> -</blockquote> -<p>Sir William Hunter laid much stress on the necessity of stating the -authority on the strength of which any statement is made and of the -propriety of avoiding anything like libels on persons or classes. In -1871 Sir W. Hunter was appointed Director General of Statistics to the -Government of India. In this capacity he was to be a central guiding -authority whose duty it was to see that each of the Provincial -Gazetteers contained the materials requisite for the comparative -statistics of the Empire. As some of the Bombay District Accounts were -incomplete and as it was thought advisable to embody in the District -Accounts the results of the general Census of 1872, it was decided, in -October 1871, that pending the completion of the census <span class="pagenum">[<a id="xd25e584" href="#xd25e584" name="xd25e584">viii</a>]</span>the Gazetteer work should be suspended and -that when the results of the census were compiled and classified a -special officer should be appointed for a period of six months to -revise and complete the drafts. In October 1871, pending the -compilation of the census returns, Mr. Crowe was appointed Assistant -Collector at Sholápur and the Gazetteer records were left in a -room in the Poona Collector’s Office. In September 1872 the whole -of the Gazetteer records, including thirty-one articles on British -Districts and Native States, were stolen by two youths who had been -serving in the Collector’s Office as peons. These youths finding -the Gazetteer office room unoccupied stole the papers piece by piece -for the sake of the trifling amount they fetched as waste paper. Search -resulted in the recovery in an imperfect state of seven of the -thirty-one drafts. The youths were convicted and sentenced to a -year’s imprisonment in the Poona Reformatory.</p> -<p>In 1873 Mr. Francis Chapman then Chief Secretary to Government took -the preparation of the Gazetteer under his personal control. And in -June 1873 Mr. James M. Campbell, <abbr>C.S.</abbr>, was appointed -Compiler. An important change introduced by Mr. Chapman was to separate -from the preparation of the series of District Manuals certain general -subjects and to arrange for the preparation of accounts of those -general subjects by specially qualified contributors. The subjects so -set apart and allotted were:</p> -<div class="table"> -<table> -<thead> -<tr class="label"> -<td rowspan="2" class="rowspan cellHeadLeft cellHeadTop cellHeadBottom">No.</td> -<td colspan="2" class="colspan cellHeadRight cellHeadTop"><span class="sc">General Contributors, 1873.</span></td> -</tr> -<tr class="label"> -<td class="cellHeadBottom">Subject.</td> -<td class="cellHeadRight cellHeadBottom">Contributor.</td> -</tr> -</thead> -<tbody> -<tr> -<td class="cellLeft">1</td> -<td>Ethnology</td> -<td class="cellRight">Dr. J.

S.</abbr> XXI. 325), -and as the precession of the equinoxes points to about <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 4700 as the date of the introduction of the sun -zodiac (Sayce’s Hibbert Lectures, 398) the system of lunar -mansions and months, if it came from the Euphrates valley, must have -reached India before <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 4700. The trade -records of the black-headed perhaps Dravidian-speaking Sumris of the -Euphrates mouth prove so close relations with the peninsula of Sinai -and Egypt as to make a similar connection with Western India probable -as far back as <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 6000. (Compare -Sayce’s Hibbert Lectures, 33: <abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A. S.</abbr> XXI. 326.) Of -the races of whose presence in Gujarát and the neighbourhood Mr. -Hewitt finds traces the earliest is the same black-headed -moon-worshipping Sumri (Ditto). Next from Susiana in south-east Persia, -the possessors of a lunar-solar calendar and therefore not later than -<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 4700 (<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J.

(<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. -R. A. S.</abbr> XXI. 209.) With or soon after the Sus came from the -north the cattle-herding sun-worshipping Sakas (<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A.

At a date which partly from evidence connected with the -early Vedic hymns (<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A. S.</abbr> XXII. 466) -partly from the early Babylonian use of the Sanskrit Sindhu for India -(<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A.

(<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A. S.</abbr> XX. 343.) Of -other races who held sway in Gujarát the earliest, perhaps about -<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 2000 since their power was shattered -by Paraśuráma long before Mahábhárata times -(<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A. S.</abbr> -XXI. 209–266), were the snake-worshipping perhaps Accadian -(Ditto, 265) Haihayas now represented by the Gonds and the -Haihayas’ vassals the Vaidarbhas (Ditto, 209) a connection which -is supported by trustworthy Central Indian Uraon or Gond tradition that -they once held Gujarát (Elliott’s Races, N. W. P., I. -154). Next to the Haihayas and like them earlier than the -Mahábhárata (say <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 1500–2000) Mr. Hewitt would place the -widespread un-Aryan Bhárats or Bhárgavs (<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A. S.</abbr> XXI. -279–282, 286) the conquerors of the Haihayas (Ditto, 288). In -early Mahábhárata times (say between <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 1000 and 800, Ditto 197 and 209) the -Bhárats were overcome by the very mixed race of the Bhojas and -of <span class="corr" id="xd25e4114" title="Source: Krishṇa’s">Kṛishṇa’s</span> -followers the Vrishṇis (Ditto, 270). Perhaps about the same time -the chariot-driving Gandharvas of Cutch (Ditto, 273) joined the Sus and -Sakas, together passed east to Kosala beyond Benares, and were there -established in strength at the time of Gautama Buddha (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 530) (Ditto). To the later -Mahábhárata times, perhaps about <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 400 (Ditto, 197–271), Mr. Hewitt would -assign the entrance into Gujarát of the Ábhíras or -Ahirs whom he identifies with the northern or <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter III.<br> -Legends.<br> -The Yádavas.</span> Skythian Abárs. Mr. Hewitt finds the -following places in Gujarát associated with those early races. -Pátála in South Sindh he (<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R. A. S.</abbr> XXI. 209) -considers the head-quarters of the Sus and Sakas. Another Su capital -Prágjyotisha which is generally allotted to Bengal he would -(XXI. 206) identify with Broach. With the Vaidarbhas the vassals of the -Haihayas he associates Surparika, that is <span class="corr" id="xd25e4139" title="Source: Sopara">Sopára</span> near Bassein, -which he identifies (Ditto, 206) with the modern Surat on the Tapti. He -connects (Ditto, 266) the Baroda river Viśvámitra and -Vaidurga the hill <span class="corr" id="xd25e4142" title="Source: Pávágad">Pávágaḍ</span> with -the same tribe. He finds a trace of the Bhárats in Baroda and in -Bharati an old name of the river Mahi (Ditto, 286) and of the same race -under their name Bhárgav in Broach (Ditto, 289). The traditional -connection of the Bhojas with Dwárka is well established. -Finally Kárpásika a Mahábhárata name for -the shore of the Gulf of Cambay (Ditto, 209) may be connected with -Kárván on the Narbada about twenty miles above Broach one -of the holiest Shaiv places in India. Though objection may be taken to -certain of Mr. Hewitt’s identifications of Gujarát places, -and also to the extreme antiquity he would assign to the trade between -India and the west and to the introduction of the system of lunar -mansions, his comparison of sacred Hindu books with the calendar and -ritual of early Babylonia is of much interest. <a class="fnarrow" -href="#n11.2src">↑</a></p> -</div> -</div> -</div> -<div id="ch1.4" class="div1 chapter"><span class="pagenum">[<a href="#xd25e1117">Contents</a>]</span> -<div class="divHead"> -<h2 class="label">CHAPTER IV.</h2> -<h2 class="main">MAURYAN AND GREEK RULE</h2> -<h2 class="sub">(<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 319–100.)</h2> -</div> -<div class="divBody"> -<p class="first"><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter IV.<br> -<span class="sc">The Mauryas.</span> <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 319–197.</span> After the destruction of -the Yádavas a long blank occurs in the traditional history of -Gujarát.

In spite of these possibilities -we have no traditions between the fall of the Yádavas and the -rise of the Mauryas in <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 319.</p> -<p>Gujarát history dates from the rule of the Mauryan dynasty, -the only early Indian dynasty the record of whose rule has been -preserved in the writings of the Bráhmans, the Buddhists, and -the Jains. This fulness of reference to the Mauryas admits of easy -explanation. The Mauryas were a very powerful dynasty whose territory -extended over the greater part of India. Again under Mauryan rule -Buddhism was so actively propagated that the rulers made it their state -religion, waging bloody wars, even revolutionizing many parts of the -empire to secure its spread. Further the Mauryas were beneficent rulers -and had also honourable alliances with foreign, especially with Greek -and Egyptian, kings. These causes combined to make the Mauryans a most -powerful and well remembered dynasty.</p> -<p>Inscriptions give reason to believe that the supremacy of -Chandragupta, the founder of the Mauryan dynasty (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 319), extended over Gujarát. According to -Rudradáman’s inscription (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150) on the great edict rock at Girnár in -Káthiáváḍa, a lake called -Sudarśana<a class="noteref" id="n13.3src" href="#n13.3" name="n13.3src">3</a> near the edict rock was originally made by Pushyagupta -of the Vaiśya caste, who is described as a brother-in-law of the -Mauryan king Chandragupta.<a class="noteref" id="n13.4src" href="#n13.4" name="n13.4src">4</a> The language of this inscription leaves -no doubt that Chandragupta’s sway extended over <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb14" href="#pb14" name="pb14">14</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter IV.<br> -<span class="sc">The Mauryas.</span> <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 319–197.</span> Girnár as -Pushyagupta is simply called a Vaiśya and a brother-in-law of king -Chandragupta and has no royal attribute, particulars which tend to show -that he was a local governor subordinate to king Chandragupta. The same -inscription<a class="noteref" id="n14.1src" href="#n14.1" name="n14.1src">5</a> states that in the time of Aśoka (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 250) his officer Yavanarája -Tusháspa adorned the same Sudarśana lake with conduits. -This would seem to prove the continuance of Mauryan rule in -Girnár for three generations from Chandragupta to Aśoka. -Tusháspa is called Yavanarája. The use of the term -<i>rája</i> would seem to show that, unlike Chandragupta’s -Vaiśya governor Pushyagupta, <span class="corr" id="xd25e4254" -title="Source: Tusáshpa">Tusháspa</span> was a dignitary -of high rank and noble family. That he is called Yavanarája does -not prove Tusháspa was a Greek, though for Greeks alone Yavana -is the proper term. The name Tusháspa rather suggests a Persian -origin from its close likeness in formation to Kersháshp, a name -still current among Bombay Pársis. Evidence from other sources -proves that Aśoka held complete sway over Málwa, -Gujarát, and the Konkan coast. All the rock edicts of Aśoka -hitherto traced have been found on the confines of his great empire. On -the north-west at Kapurdigiri and at Shabazgarhi in the -Baktro-Páli character; in the north-north-west at Kálsi, -in the east at Dhauli and Jangada; in the west at Girnár and -Sopára, and in the south in Maisur all in Maurya characters. The -Girnár and Sopára edicts leave no doubt that the -Gujarát, Káthiáváḍa, and North Konkan -seaboard was in Aśoka’s possession. The fact that an inland -ruler holds the coast implies his supremacy over the intervening -country. Further it is known that Aśoka was viceroy of -Málwa in the time of his father and that after his -father’s death he was sovereign of Málwa. The easy route -from Mandasor (better known as Daśapur) to Dohad has always -secured a close connection between Málwa and Gujarát. -South Gujarát lies at the mercy of any invader entering by Dohad -and the conquest of Káthiáváḍa on one side -and of Upper Gujarát on the other might follow in detail. As we -know that Káthiáváḍa and South -Gujarát as far as Sopára were held by Aśoka it is -not improbable that Upper Gujarát also owned his sway. The -Maurya capital of Gujarát seems to have been Girinagara or -<span class="corr" id="xd25e4257" title="Source: Junágadh">Junágaḍh</span> in Central -Káthiáváḍa, whose strong hill fort -dominating the rich province of Sorath and whose lofty hills a centre -of worship and a defence and retreat from invaders, combined to secure -for <span class="corr" id="xd25e4260" title="Source: Junágadh">Junágaḍh</span> its continuance -as capital under the Kshatrapas (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 100–380) and their successors the Guptas -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 380–460).

The Barábar hill near Gayá -has caves made by Aśoka and bearing his inscriptions; and close to -Barábar is the <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb15" href="#pb15" -name="pb15">15</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter IV.<br> -<span class="sc">The Mauryas.</span> <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 319–197.</span> Nágárjuna -hill with caves made by Daśaratha also bearing his inscriptions. -In one of these inscriptions the remark occurs that one of the -Barábar caves was made by Daśaratha ‘installed -immediately after.’ As the caves in the neighbouring hill must -have been well known to have been made by Aśoka this -‘after’ may mean after Aśoka, or the -‘after’ may refer solely to the sequence between -Daśaratha’s installation and his excavation of the cave. In -any case it is probable that Daśaratha was Aśoka’s -successor. Jaina records pass over Daśaratha and say that -Aśoka was succeeded by his grandson Samprati the son of -Kunála. In the matter of the propagation of the Jain faith, Jain -records speak as highly of Samprati as Buddhist records speak of -Aśoka.<a class="noteref" id="n15.1src" href="#n15.1" name="n15.1src">6</a> Almost all old Jain temples or monuments, whose -builders are unknown, are ascribed to Samprati who is said to have -built thousands of temples as Aśoka is said to have raised -thousands of <i>stupas</i>.

According to Prinsep -Kshatrapa is a Sanskritized form of Satrapa, a term familiar to the -Grecian history of ancient Persia and used for the prefect of a -province under the Persian system of government. As Prinsep further -observes Satrapa had probably the same meaning in Ariana that Kshatrapa -had in Sanskrit, the ruler feeder or patron of the <i>kshatra</i> or -warrior class, the chief of a warlike tribe or clan.<a class="noteref" -id="n21.5src" href="#n21.5" name="n21.5src">6</a> Prinsep further notes -the Persian kings were often in need of such chiefs and as they -entrusted the chiefs with the government of parts of their dominions -the word came to mean a governor. So during the anarchy which prevailed -on the Skythian overthrow of Greek rule in Baktria<a class="noteref" -id="n21.6src" href="#n21.6" name="n21.6src">7</a> (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 160) several chiefs of Malaya, Pallava, -Ábhíra, Meda, and other predatory tribes came from -Baktria to Upper India, and each established for himself a principality -or kingdom. Subsequently these chiefs appear to have assumed -independent sovereignty. Still though they often call themselves -<i>rájás</i> or kings with the title Kshatrapa or -Mahákshatrapa, if any Baktrian king advanced towards their -territories, they were probably ready to acknowledge him as Overlord. -Another reason for believing these Kshatrapa chiefs to have been -foreigners is that, while the names of the founders of Kshatrapa -sovereignty are foreign, their inscriptions and coins show that soon -after the establishment of their rule they became converts to one or -other form of the Hindu religion and assumed Indian names.<a class="noteref" id="n21.7src" href="#n21.7" name="n21.7src">8</a> -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb22" href="#pb22" name="pb22">22</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter V.<br> -<span class="sc">Northern Kshatrapas, <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 70–<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78.</span></span> <span class="marginnote"><span class="sc">Northern Kshatrapas, <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 70–<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78.</span></span>According to inscriptions and -coins Northern Kshatrapa rule begins with king Maues about <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 70 and ends with the accession of the -Kushán king Kanishka about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78. -Maues probably belonged to the Śaka tribe of Skythians.

This is a Baktro-Páli -inscription recording the gift of a stúpa by Nandasiriká -daughter of Kshatrapa Rájavula and mother of Kharaosti -Yuvarája. Kharaosti is the dynastic name of the prince, his -personal name appears later in the inscription as Talama -(Ptolemy ?). From his dynastic name, whose crude form Kharaosta or -Kharaottha may be the origin of the Prakrit Chhaharáta and the -Sanskritised Kshaharáta, this Talama appears to be a descendant -of the Kshatrapa Kharaosti whose coins found at Taxila call him -Artaputa that is the son of Arta apparently the Parthian Ortus.</p> -<p>The same Baktro-Páli Mathurá inscription also mentions -with special respect a Kshatrapa named Patika,<a class="noteref" id="n23.1src" href="#n23.1" name="n23.1src">9</a> who, with the title of -Kusulaka or Kozolon, ruled the Kábul valley with his capital -first at Nagaraka and later at Taxila.</p> -<p>The same inscription further mentions that the stúpa was -given while the Kshatrapa Sudása son of the Mahákshatrapa -Rájavula was ruling at Mathurá. The inference from the -difference in the titles of the father and the son seems to be that -Sudása was ruling in Mathurá as governor under his father -who perhaps ruled in the neighbourhood of Delhi where many of his coins -have been found. While the coins of Sudása have the legend in -Nágarí only, Rájavula’s coins are of two -varieties, one with the legend in <span class="corr" id="xd25e4952" -title="Source: Báktro-Páli">Baktro-Páli</span> and -the other with the legend in Nágarí, a fact tending to -show that the father’s territories stretched to the far -north.</p> -<p>Though Kharaosti is mentioned as a Yuvarája or prince -heir-apparent in the time of his maternal uncle Sudása, the -inscription shows he had four children. It is curious that while the -inscription mentions Nandasiriká as the mother of Kharaosti -Yuvarája, nothing is said about her husband. Perhaps he was dead -or something had happened to make Nandasiriká live at her -father’s home.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote"><span class="sc">Western Kshatrapas, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 70–398.</span></span>Another -inscription of Sudása found by General Cunningham at -Mathurá is in old Nágarí character.

Ushavadáta’s -charitable acts and works of public utility are detailed in -Násik Inscriptions X. XII. and XIV. The charitable acts are the -gift of three hundred thousand cows; of gold and of river-side steps at -the Bárnása or Banás river near Ábu in -North Gujarát; of sixteen villages to gods and Bráhmans; -the feeding of hundreds of thousands of Bráhmans every year; the -giving in marriage of eight wives to Bráhmans at Prabhás -in South Káthiáváḍa; the bestowing of -thirty-two thousand cocoanut trees in Nanamgola or Nárgol -village on the Thána seaboard on the Charaka priesthoods of -Pinḍitakávaḍa, Govardhana near Násik, -Suvarṇamukha, and Rámatírtha in Sorpáraga or -Sopára on the Thána coast; the giving of three hundred -thousand cows and a village at Pushkara or Pokhar near Ajmir in East -<span class="corr" id="xd25e5101" title="Source: Rajputána">Rájputána</span>; making gifts -to Bráhmans at Chechiṇa or Chichan near Kelva-Máhim -on the Thána coast; and the gift of trees and 70,000 -<i>kárshápaṇas</i> or 2000 <i>suvarṇas</i> to -gods and Bráhmans at Dáhánu in Thána. The -public works executed by Ushavadáta include rest-houses and -alms-houses at Bharu Kachha or Broach, at Daśapura or Mandasor in -North Málwa, and gardens and wells at Govardhana and -Sopára; free ferries across the Ibá or Ambiká, the -Páráda or Pár, the Damaná or Damanganga, -the Tápi or Tápti, the Karabená or Káveri, -and the Dáhánuká or Dáhánu river. -Waiting-places and steps were also built on both banks of each of these -rivers. These charitable and public works of Ushavadáta savour -much of the Bráhmanic religion. The only <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb26" href="#pb26" name="pb26">26</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter V.<br> -<span class="sc">Western Kshatrapas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 70–398.</span><br> -Ushavdáta, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 100–120.</span> Buddhist charities are the -gift of a cave at Násik; of 3000 -<i>kárshápanas</i> and eight thousand cocoanut trees for -feeding and clothing monks living in the cave; and of a village near -Kárle in Poona for the support of the monks of the main -Kárle cave. Ushavadáta himself thus seems to have been a -follower of the Bráhmanical faith. The Buddhist charities were -probably made to meet the wishes of his wife whose father’s -religion the Buddhist wheel and the Bodhi tree on his copper coins -prove to have been Buddhism. The large territory over which these -charitable and public works of Ushavadáta spread gives an idea -of the extent of Nahapána’s rule. The gift of a village as -far north as Pokhara near Ajmir would have been proof of dominion in -those parts were it not for the fact that in the same inscription -Ushavadáta mentions his success in assisting some local -Kshatriyas. It is doubtful if the northern limits of -Nahapána’s dominions extended as far as Pokhar. The -village may have been given during a brief conquest, since according to -Hindu ideas no village given to Bráhmans can be resumed. The -eastern boundary would seem to have been part of Málwa and the -plain lands of Khándesh Násik and Poona; the southern -boundary was somewhere about Bombay; and the western -Káthiáváḍa and the Arabian sea.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Nahapána’s -Era.</span>Nahapána’s exact date is hard to fix. -Ushavadáta’s Násik cave Inscriptions X. and XII. -give the years 41 and 42; and an inscription of Nahapána’s -minister Ayáma at Junnar gives the year 46. The era is not -mentioned. They are simply dated <i>vase</i> Sk. <i>varshe</i> that is -in the year. Ushavadáta’s Násik Inscription XII. -records in the year 42 the gift of charities and the construction of -public works which must have taken years to complete. If at that time -Ushavadáta’s age was 40 to 45, Nahapána who, as -Inscription X. shows, was living at that time, must have been some -twenty years older than his son-in-law or say about 65. The Junnar -inscription of his minister Ayáma which bears date 46 proves -that Nahapána lived several years after the making of -Ushavadáta’s cave. The bust on one of his coins also shows -that Nahapána attained a ripe old age.</p> -<p>Nahapána cannot have lived long after the year 46. His death -may be fixed about the year 50 of the era to which the three years 41, -42, and 46 belong. He was probably about 75 years old when he died. -Deducting 50 from 75 we get about 25 as Nahapána’s age at -the beginning of the era to which the years 41, 42, and 46 belong, a -suitable age for an able prince with good resources and good advisers -to have established a kingdom. It is therefore probable that the era -marks Nahapána’s conquest of Gujarát. As said -above, Nahapána was probably considered to belong to the -Śaka tribe, and his son-in-law clearly calls himself a Śaka. -It may therefore be supposed that the era started by Nahapána on -his conquest of Gujarát was at first simply called Varsha; that -it afterwards came to be called Śakavarsha or -Śakasaṃvatsara; and that finally, after various changes, to -suit false current ideas, about the eleventh or twelfth century the -people of the Deccan styled it Śáliváhana Saka -mixing it with current traditions regarding the great <span class="corr" id="xd25e5145" title="Source: Śátavahana">Śátaváhana</span> -or Śaliváhana king of Paithan. If, as mentioned above, -Nahapána’s conquest of Gujarát and the -establishment of his era be taken to come close after the conquest of -Mathurá by <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb27" href="#pb27" -name="pb27">27</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter V.<br> -<span class="sc">Western Kshatrapas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 70–398.</span><br> -Nahapána’s Era.</span> Kanishka, the Gujarát -conquest and the era must come very shortly after the beginning of -Kanishka’s reign, since Kanishka conquered Mathurá early -in his reign. As his Mathurá inscriptions<a class="noteref" id="n27.1src" href="#n27.1" name="n27.1src">16</a> give 5 as -Kanishka’s earliest date, he must have conquered Mathurá -in the year 3 or 4 of his reign. Nahapána’s expedition to -and conquest of Gujarát was probably contemporary with or very -closely subsequent to Kanishka’s conquest of Mathurá. So -two important eras seem to begin about four years apart, the one with -Kanishka’s reign in Upper India, the other with -Nahapána’s reign in Western India. The difference being so -small and both being eras of foreign conquerors, a Kushán and a -Śaka respectively, the two eras seem to have been subsequently -confounded. Thus, according to Dr. Burnell, the Javanese Śaka era -is <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 74, that is Kanishka’s era -was introduced into Java, probably because Java has from early times -been connected with the eastern parts of India where Kanishka’s -era was current. On the other hand the astrological works called -Karaṇa use the era beginning with <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78 which we have taken to be the Western era -started by Nahapána. The use of the Śaka era in -Karaṇa works dates from the time of the great Indian astronomer -Varáha Mihira (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 587). As -Varáha Mihira lived and wrote his great work in Avanti or -Málwa he naturally made use of the Śaka era of -Nahapána, which was current in Málwa. Subsequent -astronomers adopted the era used by the master Varáha Mihira. -Under their influence Nahapána’s <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78 era passed into use over the whole of Northern -and Central India eclipsing Kanishka’s <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 74 era. On these grounds it may be accepted that -the dates in the Násik inscriptions of Ushavadáta and in -Ayáma’s inscription at Junnar are in the era founded by -Nahapána on his conquest of Gujarát and the West Deccan. -This era was adopted by the Western Kshatrapa successors of -Nahapána and continued on their coins for nearly three -centuries.<a class="noteref" id="n27.2src" href="#n27.2" name="n27.2src">17</a> <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb28" href="#pb28" -name="pb28">28</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter V.<br> -<span class="sc">Western Kshatrapas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 70–398.</span><br> -The Málava Era, <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 56.</span> -<span class="marginnote">The Málava Era, <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 56.</span>The question arises why should not the -dates on the Western Kshatrapa coins belong to the era which under the -incorrect title of the Vikrama era is now current in Gujarát and -Málwa.

About the ninth century just as the Śaka era -became connected with the Śaliváhana of Paithan, this old -Málava era became connected with the name of -Vikramáditya, the great legendary king of Ujain.</p> -<p>It might be supposed that the Málavas who gave its name to -the Málava era were the kings of the country now called -Málwa. But it is to be noted that no reference to the present -Málwa under the name of Málavadeśa occurs in any -Sanskrit work or record earlier than the second century after Christ. -The original Sanskrit name of the country was Avanti. It came to be -called Málava from the time the Málava tribe conquered it -and settled in it, just as Káthiáváḍa and -Meváḍa came to be called after their Káthi and Meva -or Meda conquerors. The Málavas, also called -Málayas,<a class="noteref" id="n28.3src" href="#n28.3" name="n28.3src">20</a> seem like the Medas to be a foreign tribe, which, -passing through Upper India conquered and settled in Central India -during the first century before Christ. The mention in the -Mudrárákshasa<a class="noteref" id="n28.4src" href="#n28.4" name="n28.4src">21</a> of a Málaya king among five -Upper Indian kings shows that in the time of the Mauryas (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 300) a Málaya kingdom existed in Upper -India which after the decline of Maurya supremacy spread to Central -India. By Nahapána’s time the Málavas seem to have -moved eastwards towards Jaipur, as Ushavadáta defeated them in -the neighbourhood of the Pushkar lake: but the fact that the country -round Ujain was still known to Rudradáman as Avanti, shows that -the Málavas had not yet (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150) -entered the district now known as Málava. This settlement and -the change of name from Avanti to Málava probably took place in -the weakness of the Kshatrapas towards the end of the third century -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> When they established their sway in -Central India these Málavas or Málayas like the ancient -<span class="corr" id="xd25e5305" title="Source: Yauddheyas">Yaudheyas</span> (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 100) and the Káthis till recent times -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1818) seem to have had a democratic -constitution.<a class="noteref" id="n28.5src" href="#n28.5" name="n28.5src">22</a> Their political system seems to have proved unsuited -to the conditions of a settled community.

Against this we know from a Násik -inscription of Ushavadáta<a class="noteref" id="n29.1src" href="#n29.1" name="n29.1src">24</a> that Nahapána was not a -Málava himself but an opponent of the Málavas as he sent -Ushavadáta to help a tribe of Kshatriyas called Uttamabhadras -whom the Málavas had attacked. Further a chronological -examination of the early ruling dynasties of Gujarát does not -favour the identification of the Kshatrapa era with the Málava -era. The available information regarding the three dynasties the -Kshatrapas the Guptas and the Valabhis, is universally admitted to -prove that they followed one another in chronological succession. The -latest known Kshatrapa date is 310. Even after this we find the name of -a later Kshatrapa king whose date is unknown but may be estimated at -about 320. If we take this Kshatrapa 320 to be in the Vikrama Samvat, -its equivalent is <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 264. In consequence -of several new discoveries the epoch of the Gupta era has been finally -settled to be <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 319. It is further -settled that the first Gupta conqueror of Málwa and -Gujarát was Chandragupta II.<a class="noteref" id="n29.2src" -href="#n29.2" name="n29.2src">25</a> the date of his conquest of -Málwa being Gupta 80 (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 399). -Counting the Kshatrapa dates in the Samvat era this gives a blank of -(399 - 264 = ) 135 years between the latest Kshatrapa date and the date -of Chandragupta’s conquest of Gujarát to fill which we -have absolutely no historical information. On the other hand in support -of the view that the Kshatrapa era is the Śaka era the -Káthiáváḍa coins of the Gupta king -Kumáragupta son of Chandragupta dated 100 Gupta closely resemble -the coins of the latest Kshatrapa kings, the workmanship proving that -the two styles of coin are close in point of time.

For these reasons, and in -the absence of reasons to the contrary, it seems proper to take the -dates in Ushavadáta’s and Ayáma’s -inscriptions as in the era which began with Nahapána’s -conquest of Gujarát, namely the Śaka era whose initial date -is <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Kshatrapa II.

The date though not very clear is apparently -242. Only one coin of Dámasiri’s is recorded. In the style -of face and in the form of letters it differs from the coins of -Yaśadáman, with which except for the date and the identity -of the father’s name any close connection would seem doubtful. -The legend on the coin of Dámasiri reads:</p> -<div class="q xd25e5034"> -<p class="first"><span lang="sa">राज्ञो -महाक्षत्रपस -रुद्रसिंहस -पुत्रस -राज्ञो -महाक्षत्रपस -दामसिरिस.</span></p> -<p lang="sa-latn">Rájño Mahákshatrapasa -Rudrasiṃhasaputrasa Rájño Mahákshatrapasa -Dámasirisa.</p> -<p>Of the king the great Kshatrapa Dámasiri son of the king the -great Kshatrapa Rudrasiṃha.</p> -</div> -<p>It will be noted that in this coin both Rudrasiṃha and -Dámasiri are called great Kshatrapas, while in his own coin and -in the coins of his son Yaśadáman, Rudrasiṃha is -simply styled Kshatrapa. It is possible that Dámasiri may have -been more powerful than Yaśadáman and consequently taken to -himself the title of Mahákshatrapa. The application of the more -important title to a father who in life had not enjoyed the title is -not an uncommon practice among the later Kshatrapas. The rarity of -Dámasiri’s coins shows that his reign was short.</p> -<p>After Dámasiri comes a blank of about thirty years. The next -coin is dated 270. The fact that, contrary to what might have been -expected, the coins of the later Kshatrapas are less common than those -of the earlier Kshatrapas, seems to point to some great political -change during the twenty-seven years ending 270 (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 321–348).</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Kshatrapa XXIV. Rudrasena, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 348–376.</span>The coin dated 270 belongs -to Svámi Rudrasena son of Svámi Rudradáman both of -whom the legend styles Mahákshatrapas. The type of the coin -dated 270 is clearly adapted from the type of the coins of -Yaśadáman. Only two of Rudrasena’s coins dated 270 -are recorded. But later coins of the same Kshatrapa of a different -style are found in large numbers. Of fifty-four in the Pandit’s -collection, twelve have the following dates 288, 290, 292, 293, 294, -296, and 298. The difference in the style of the two sets of coins and -the blank between 270 and 288 leave no doubt that during those years -some political change took place. Probably Rudrasena was for a time -overthrown but again came to power in 288 and maintained his position -till 298. Besides calling both himself and his father -Mahákshatrapas Rudrasena adds to both the attribute -Svámi. As no coin of Rudrasena’s father is recorded it -seems probable the father was not an independent ruler and that the -legend on Rudrasena’s coins is a further instance of a son -ennobling his father. The legend is the same both in the earlier coins -of 270 and in the later coins ranging from 288 to 298. It reads:</p> -<div class="q xd25e5034"> -<p class="first"><span lang="sa">राज्ञो -महाक्षत्रपस -स्वामिरुद्रदामपुत्रस -राज्ञो -महाक्षत्रपस -स्वामिरुद्रसेनस.</span></p> -<p lang="sa-latn">Rájño Mahákshatrapasa -Svámi Rudradámaputrasa <span class="corr" id="xd25e7237" -title="Source: Rajño">Rájño</span> -Mahákshatrapasa Svámi Rudrasenasa.</p> -<p>Of the king the great Kshatrapa Svámi Rudrasena son of the -king the great Kshatrapa Svámi Rudradáman.</p> -</div> -<p><span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb51" href="#pb51" name="pb51">51</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter V.<br> -<span class="sc">Western Kshatrapas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 70–398.</span><br> -Kshatrapa XXV.

At the same time the text of the -Nágarí legend differs from that on the reverse of the -Kshatrapa coins by omitting the name of the ruler’s father and by -showing in words Íśvaradatta’s date in the year of -his own reign. The legend is:</p> -<div class="q xd25e5034"> -<p class="first"><span lang="sa">राज्ञो -महाक्षत्रपस -ईश्वरदत्तस -वर्षे -प्रथमे,</span></p> -<p lang="sa-latn">Rájño Mahákshatrapasa -Íśvaradattasa varshe prathame.</p> -<p>In the first year of the king the great Kshatrapa -Íśvaradatta.</p> -</div> -<p>Most of the recorded coins of Íśvaradatta have this -legend.

His peculiar name and his separate date leave little -doubt that he belonged to some distinct family of Kshatrapas. The -general style of his coins shows that he cannot have been a late -Kshatrapa while the fact that he is called Mahákshatrapa seems -to show he was an independent ruler. No good evidence is available for -fixing his date. As already mentioned the workmanship of his coins -brings him near to Vijayasena (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 238–249). In Násik Cave X. the -letters of Inscription XV. closely correspond with the letters of the -legends on Kshatrapa coins, and probably belong to almost the same date -as the inscription of <span class="corr" id="xd25e7382" title="Source: Rudrádaman">Rudradáman</span> on the -Girnár rock that is to about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150. The absence of any record of the -Ándhras except the name of the king Madharíputa Sirisena -or Sakasena (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 180), makes it probable -that after Yajñaśrí Gautamíputra -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150) Ándhra power waned along -the Konkan and South Gujarát seaboard. According to the -<span class="corr" id="xd25e7395" title="Source: Puránas">Puráṇas</span> the -Ábhíras succeeded to the dominion of the Ándhras. -It is therefore possible that the Ábhíra king -Íśvarasena of Násik Inscription XV. was one of the -Ábhíra conquerors of the Ándhras who took from -them the West Dakhan. A migration of Ábhíras from -Ptolemy’s Abiria in Upper Sindh through Sindh by sea to the -Konkan and thence to Násik is within the range of possibility. -About fifty years later king Íśvaradatta<a class="noteref" -id="n52.1src" href="#n52.1" name="n52.1src">92</a> who was perhaps of -the same family as the Ábhíra king of the Násik -inscription seems to have conquered the kingdom of Kshatrapa -Vijayasena, adding Gujarát, -Káthiáváḍa, and part of the Dakhan to his -other territory. In honour of this great conquest he may have taken the -title Mahákshatrapa and struck coins in the Gujarát -Kshatrapa style but in an era reckoned from the date of his own -conquest.

More -recently, from the fact that the names of some of them end in Sena or -army, the Kshatrapas have been called the Sena kings. The origin of the -title Sah is the ending <i>siha</i>, that is <i>siṃha</i> lion, -which belongs to the names of several of the kings. <i>Síha</i> -has been read either <i>sáh</i> or <i>sena</i> because of the -practice of omitting from the die vowels which would fall on or above -the top line of the legend and also of omitting the short vowel -<i>i</i> with the following <i>anusvára</i>. Sáh is -therefore a true reading of the writing on certain of the coins. That -the form Sáh on these coins is not the correct form has been -ascertained from stone inscriptions in which freedom from crowding -makes possible the complete cutting of the above-line marks. In stone -inscriptions the ending is <i>síha</i> lion. See Fleet’s -<span lang="la">Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum</span>, III. 36 note 1. -Mr. Fleet (Ditto) seems to suggest that with the proof of the -incorrectness of the reading Sáh the evidence that the -Kshatrapas were of Indo-Skythian origin ceases. This does not seem to -follow. In addition to the Parthian title Kshatrapa, their northern -coinage, and the use of the Śaka (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78) era, now accepted as the accession of the -great Kushán Kanishka, the evidence in the text shows that the -line of Káthiáváḍa Kshatrapas starts from -the foreigner Chashṭana (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 130) -whose predecessor Nahápana (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 120) and his Śaka son-in-law Ushavadatta are -noted in Násik inscriptions (Násik Gazetteer, 538 and -621) as leaders of Śakas, Palhavas, and Yavanas. Further as the -limits of Ptolemy’s (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150) -Indo-Skythia (McCrindle, 136) agree very closely with the limits of the -dominions of the then ruling Mahákshatrapa Rudradáman -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150) it follows that Ptolemy or his -informer believed Rudradáman to be an Indo-Skythian. There -therefore seems no reasonable doubt that the Kshatrapas were -foreigners. According to Cunningham (Num. Chron. VIII. 231) they were -Śakas who entered Gujarát from Sindh. The fact that the -Kushán era (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78) was not -adopted by the first two of the Western Kshatrapas, Chashṭana and -Jayadáman, supports the view that they belonged to a wave of -northerners earlier than the Kushán wave. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n20.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n21.1" -href="#n21.1src" name="n21.1">2</a></span> The Taxila plate in Journal -<abbr title="Royal Asiatic Society">R.

The title is well -known in Greek literature in the form <span class="trans" title="satrapēs"><span class="Greek" lang="grc">σατραπης</span></span>, -and in the form Kshatrapávan occurs twice (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 520) in connection with the governors of Baktria -and Arachosia in the great Behistan inscription of Darius -(Rawlinson’s Herodotus, I. 329; Spiegel’s <span lang="de">Altpersische Keilinschriften</span>, 24–26). The meaning of -Kshatrapávan in old Persian is not “protector of the -Kshatra race” but “protector of the kingdom,” for the -word <i>kshatram</i> occurs in the inscriptions of the -Achæmenidæ with the meaning of “kingship” or -“kingdom” (Spiegel, <span lang="de">Altpersische -Keilinschriften</span>, 215). As is well known Satrap was the official -title of the ruler of a Persian province. That the name continued in -use with the same meaning under the Greek kings of Baktria -(<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 250–100) is known from Strabo, -who says (XI. 11) “the Greeks who held Baktria divided it into -satrapies (<span class="trans" title="satrapeias"><span class="Greek" -lang="grc">σατραπειας</span></span>) -of which Aspionus and Touriva were taken from Eukratides (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 180) by the Parthians.” It is to be -presumed that the Baktro-Grecians introduced the same arrangement into -the provinces which they conquered in India. The earliest occurrence of -the title in its Indian form is on the coins of a Rajabula or Ranjabola -(Gardner, B. M. Cat. 67), who in his Greek legend makes use of the -title “King of kings,” and in his Indian legend calls -himself “The unconquered Chhatrapa.” His adoption for the -reverse of his coins of the Athene Promachos type of Menander and -Apollodotus Philopator connects Rajabula in time with those kings -(<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 126–100) and we know from an -inscription (Cunningham Arch. Rep. XX. 48) that he reigned at -Mathurá. He was probably a provincial governor who became -independent about <span class="sc">b.c.</span> 100 when the Greek -kingdom broke up. The above facts go to show that Kshatrapa was -originally a Persian title which was adopted by the Greeks and -continued in use among their successors: that it originally denoted a -provincial governor; but that, when the Greek kingdom broke up and -their provincial chiefs became independent, it continued in use as a -royal title. That after the Christian era, even in Parthia, the title -Satrapes does not necessarily imply subjection to a suzerain is proved -by the use of the phrase <span class="trans" title="satrapēs tōn satrapōn"><span class="Greek" lang="grc">σατραπης των -σατραπων</span></span> Satrap of -Satraps, with the sense of King of Kings in Gotarzes’ Behistan -inscription of <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 50.

It -appears, however, from Lassen’s Ind. Alt.

Ind. -Pal.</abbr> 72) while saying that the Javanese Śaka era dates from -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 74, gives <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 80 as the epoch of the Śaka era of the -neighbouring island of Bali, thus supporting Raffle’s explanation -(Java, II. 68) that the difference is due to the introduction into Java -of the Muhammadan mode of reckoning during the past 300 years. The -Javanese epoch of <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 74 cannot therefore -be treated as an authority for assuming a genuine Indian era with this -initial date. The era of Kanishka was used continuously down to its -year 281 (Fergusson Hist. of Ind.

It seems much more likely that -the parent of the modern Śaka era was that of Kanishka, which -remained in use for nearly three centuries, than that of -Nahapána, who so far as we know left no son, and whose era (if -he founded one) probably expired when the Kshaharáta power was -destroyed by the <span class="corr" id="xd25e5213" title="Source: Andhrabhṛityas">Ándhrabhṛityas</span> in -the first half of the second century <span class="sc">a.d.</span> We -must therefore assume <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78 to be the -epoch of Kanishka’s era. There remains the question whether -Nahapána dates by Kanishka’s era, or uses his own regnal -years. There is nothing improbable in the latter supposition, and we -are not forced to suppose that Nahapána was a feudatory of the -Kushán kings. It has been shown above that the use of the title -Kshatrapa does not necessarily imply a relation of inferiority. On the -other hand (<i>pace</i> Oldenburg in <abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> X. 213) the later Kshatrapas -certainly seem to have used Kanishka’s era: and Nahapána -and the Kushán dynasty seem to have been of the same race: for -Heraus, who was certainly a Kushán, apparently calls himself -Śaka on his coins (Gardner B.

The following -reasons seem conclusive against identifying Saṅghadáman -with Sandanes: (1) The abbreviation from Saṅghadáman to -Sandanes seems excessive in the case of the name of a well known ruler -who lived within thirty years of the probable time (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247) when the writer of the Periplus visited -Gujarát and the Konkan: (2) The date of Saṅghadáman -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 222–226) is twenty to thirty -years too early for the probable collection of the Periplus details: -(3) Apart from the date of the Periplus the apparent distinction in the -writer’s mind between Sandanes’ capture of Kalyán -and his own time implies a longer lapse than suits a reign of only four -years.</p> -<p class="footnote cont">In favour of the Sandanes of the Periplus -being a dynastic not a personal name is its close correspondence both -in form and in geographical position with Ptolemy’s (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150) Sadaneis, who gave their name, Ariake -Sadinôn or the Sadins’ Aria, to the North Konkan, and, -according to McCrindle (Ptolemy, 39) in the time of Ptolemy ruled the -prosperous trading communities that occupied the sea coast to about -Semulla or Chaul. The details in the present text show that some few -years before Ptolemy wrote the conquests of Rudradáman had -brought the North Konkan under the Gujarát <span class="corr" -id="xd25e6653" title="Source: Kshatrapás">Kshatrapas</span>. -Similarly shortly before the probable date of the Periplus -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247) the fact that -Saṅghadáman and his successors Dámasena -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 226–236) and Vijayasena -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 238–249) all used the title -Mahákshatrapa makes their possession of the North Konkan -probable. The available details of the -Káthiáváḍa Kshatrapas therefore confirm the -view that the Sadans of Ptolemy and the Sandanes of the Periplus are -the Gujarát Kshatrapas. The question remains how did the Greeks -come to know the Kshatrapas by the name of Sadan or Sandan. The answer -seems to be the word Sadan or Sandan is the Sanskrit -<i>Sádhana</i> which according to Lassen (McCrindle’s -Ptolemy, 40) and Williams’ Sanskrit Dictionary may mean agent or -representative and may therefore be an accurate rendering of Kshatrapa -in the sense of Viceroy. Wilford (<abbr title="Asiatic Researches">As. -Res.</abbr> IX. 76, 198) notices that Sanskrit writers give the early -English in India the title Sádhan Engrez. This Wilford would -translate Lord but it seems rather meant for a rendering of the word -Factor. Prof. <span class="corr" id="xd25e6672" title="Source: Bhándárkar">Bhandárkar</span> -(<abbr title="Bombay Gazetteer">Bom. Gaz.</abbr> XIII. 418 note 1) -notices a tribe mentioned by the geographer Varáhamihira -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 580) as Śántikas and -associated with the Aparántakas or people of the west coast. He -shows how according to the rules of letter changes the Sanskrit -Śántika would in Prákrit be Sándino. In his -opinion it was this form Sandino which was familiar to Greek merchants -and sailors. Prof. Bhandárkar holds that when (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 100–110) the Kshatrapa Nahapána -displaced the Śátaváhanas or -Ándhrabhṛityas the Śántikas or Sandino became -independent in the North Konkan and took Kalyán. To make their -independence secure against the Kshatrapas they forbad intercourse -between their own territory and the Dakhan and sent foreign ships to -Barygaza. Against this explanation it is to be urged; (1) That -Násik and Junnar inscriptions show Nahapána supreme in -the North Konkan at least up to <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 120; -(2) That according to the Periplus the action taken by the Sandans or -Sadans was not against the Kshatrapas but against the <span class="corr" id="xd25e6688" title="Source: Śátakarnis">Śátakarṇis</span>; -(3) That the action was not taken in the time of Nahapána but at -a later time, later not only than the first Gautamíputra the -conqueror of Nahapána or his son-in-law Ushavadáta -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 138), but later than the second -Gautamíputra, who was defeated by the -Káthiáváḍa Kshatrapa Rudradáman some -time before <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150; (4) That if the -Śántikas were solely a North Konkan tribe they would -neither wish nor be able to send foreign ships to Broach. The action -described in the Periplus of refusing to let Greek ships enter -Kalyán and of sending all such ships to Broach was the action of -a Gujarát conqueror of Kalyán determined to make foreign -trade centre in his own chief emporium Broach. The only possible lord -of Gujarát either in the second or third century who can have -adopted such a policy was the Kshatrapa of Ujjain in Málwa and -of Minnagara or <span class="corr" id="xd25e6699" title="Source: Junagaḍh">Junágaḍh</span> in -Káthiáváḍa, the same ruler, who, to -encourage foreign vessels to visit Broach had (McCrindle’s -Periplus, 118, 119) stationed native fishermen with well-manned long -boats off the south Káthiáváḍa coast to meet -ships and pilot them through the tidal and other dangers up the Narbada -to Broach. It follows that the Sandanes of the Periplus and -Ptolemy’s North Konkan Sádans are the Gujarát -Mahákshatrapas. The correctness of this identification of Sadan -with the Sanskrit Sádhan and the explanation of Sádhan as -a translation of Kshatrapa or representative receive confirmation from -the fact that the account of Kálakáchárya in the -Bharaheśwara Vṛítti (<abbr title="Journal Bombay Branch Royal Asiatic Society">J. B. B. R. A. S.</abbr> -IX. 141–142), late in date (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1000–1100) but with notable details of the -Śaka or Śáhi invaders, calls the Śaka king -Sádhana-Siṃha. If on this evidence it may be held that the -Kshatrapas were known as Sádhanas, it seems to follow that -Śántika the form used by Varáhamihira (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 505–587) is a conscious and intentional -Sanskritizing of Sádan whose correct form and origin had passed -out of knowledge, a result which would suggest conscious or artificial -Sanskritizing as the explanation of the forms of many <span class="corr" id="xd25e6712" title="Source: Puránic">Puráṇic</span> tribal and place -names. A further important result of this inquiry is to show that the -received date of <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 70 for the Periplus -cannot stand. Now that the Kanishka era <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 78 is admitted to be the era used by the -Kshatrapas both in the Dakhan and in Gujarát it follows that a -writer who knows the elder and the younger <span class="corr" id="xd25e6722" title="Source: Śátakarnis">Śátakarṇis</span> -cannot be earlier than <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150 and from -the manner in which he refers to them must almost certainly be -considerably later. This conclusion supports the date <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247 which on other weighty grounds the French -scholar Reinaud (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind.

At the same time he also -(Násik Stat. Acct. 624) thought them very similar to -Víradáman’s (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 236–238) coins. -Víradáman’s date so immediately precedes -Vijayasena’s that in many respects their coins must be closely -alike. It is to be noted that <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 230–235 the time of rival Kshatrapas among -whom Víradáman was one (especially the time between -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 236 and 238 during which none of the -rivals assumed the title Mahákshatrapa) was suitable to (perhaps -was the result of) a successful invasion by Íśvaradatta, -and that this same invasion may have been the cause of the transfer of -the capital, noted in the Periplus (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247) as having taken place some years before, -from Ozene or Ujjain to Minnagara or <span class="corr" id="xd25e7449" -title="Source: Junágadh">Junágaḍh</span> -(McCrindle, 114, 122). On the other hand the fact that Vijayasena -regained the title of Mahákshatrapa and handed it to his -successor Dámájaḍaśrí III. would seem -to shew that no reverse or humiliation occurred during the coinless -years (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 249–251) between their -reigns, a supposition which is supported by the flourishing state of -the kingdom at the time of the Periplus (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247) and also by the evidence that both the above -Kshatrapas ruled near Karád in Sátára. At the same -time if the difference <span class="corr" id="xd25e7458" title="Source: betweed">between</span> Víradáman’s and -Vijayasena’s coins is sufficient to make it unlikely that -Íśvaradatta’s can be copies of -Víradáman’s it seems possible that the year of -Íśvaradatta’s overlordship may be the year -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 244 (K. 166) in which -Vijayasena’s coins bear the title Kshatrapa, and that the -assumption of this lower title in the middle of a reign, which with -this exception throughout claims the title Mahákshatrapa, may be -due to the temporary necessity of acknowledging the supremacy of -Íśvaradatta. With reference to the Pandit’s -suggestion that Íśvaradatta was an Ábhíra the -fact noted above of a trace of Kshatrapa rule at Karád -thirty-one miles south of Sátára together with the fact -that they held Aparánta or the Konkan makes it probable that -they reached Karád by Chiplún and the Kumbhárli -pass. That the Kshatrapas entered the Dakhan by so southerly a route -instead of by some one of the more central Thána passes, seems -to imply the presence of some hostile power in Násik and -Khándesh. This after the close of the second century -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> could hardly have been the Ándhras -or <span class="corr" id="xd25e7468" title="Source: Śátákarnis">Śátakarṇis</span>. -It may therefore be presumed to have been the Ándhras’ -successors the Ábhíras. As regards the third suggestion -that Kshatrapa Gujarát was overrun from the North Konkan it is -to be noted that the evidence of connection between -Íśvarasena of the Násik inscription (Cave X. No. 15) -and Íśvaradatta of the coins is limited to a probable -nearness in time and a somewhat slight similarity in name. On the other -hand no inscription or other record points to Ábhíra -ascendancy in the North Konkan or South Gujarát. The presence of -an Ábhíra power in the North Konkan seems inconsistent -with Kshatrapa rule at Kalyán and Karád in the second -half of the third century. The position allotted to Aberia in the -Periplus (McCrindle, 113) inland from Surastrene, apparently in the -neighbourhood of Thar and Párkar; the finding of -Íśvaradatta’s coins in -Káthiáváḍa (Násik Gazetteer, XIII. -624); and (perhaps between <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 230 and -240) the transfer westwards of the head-quarters of the Kshatrapa -kingdom seem all to point to the east rather than to the south, as the -side from which Íśvaradatta invaded Gujarát. At the -same time the reference during the reign of Rudrasiṃha I. -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 181) to the Ábhíra -Rudrabhúti who like his father was Senápati or -Commander-in-Chief suggests that Íśvaradatta may have been -not a foreigner but a revolted general. This supposition, his -assumption of the title Mahákshatrapa, and the finding of his -coins only in Káthiáváḍa to a certain extent -confirm. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n53.1src">↑</a></p> -</div> -</div> -</div> -<div id="ch1.6" class="div1 chapter"><span class="pagenum">[<a href="#xd25e1246">Contents</a>]</span> -<div class="divHead"> -<h2 class="label">CHAPTER VI.</h2> -<h2 class="main">THE TRAIKÚṬAKAS</h2> -<h2 class="sub">(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 250–450.)</h2> -</div> -<div class="divBody"> -<p class="first"><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter VI.<br> -<span class="sc">The Traikúṭakas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 250–450.</span></span> <span class="marginnote">Two Plates.</span>The materials regarding the -Traikúṭakas, though meagre, serve to show that they were a -powerful dynasty who rose to consequence about the time of the middle -Kshatrapas (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 250).

The easy -connection between Násik and Balsár by way of Peth -(Peint) and the nearness in time between the Násik inscription -and the initial date of the Traikúṭakas support this -conjecture. The further suggestion may be offered that the founder of -the line of Traikúṭakas was the Íśvaradatta, -who, as noted in the Kshatrapa chapter, held the overlordship of -Káthiáváḍa as Mahákshatrapa, perhaps -during the two years <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 248 and 249, a -result in close agreement with the conclusions drawn from the -examination of the above quoted Traikúṭaka and Chalukya -copperplates.

The little more than nominal suzerainty claimed over the -Devputras, Sháhis, and Sháhánusháhis in -Chandragupta’s father’s inscription shows that when he came -to the throne Chandragupta found the Śaka power practically -unbroken. The absence of reference to conquests is no more complete in -the case of the Panjáb than it is in the case of Gujarát -or of Káthiáváḍa which Chandragupta is known -to have added to his dominions. In -Káthiáváḍa, though not in Gujarát, -the evidence from coins is stronger than in the Panjáb. Still -the discovery of Chandragupta’s coins (<abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">J. R.

Chandragupta’s name Devarája -may, as Pandit Bhagvánlál suggests, be taken from the -Śaka title Devaputra. Further, the use of the name -Vikramáditya and of the honorific Śrí is in striking -agreement with Beruni’s statement (Sachau, II. 6) that the -conqueror of the Śakas was named Vikramáditya and that to -the conqueror’s name was added the title Śrí. Mr. -Fleet (<abbr title="Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum">Corp. Ins. -Ind.</abbr> III. 37 note 2) holds it not improbable that either -Chandragupta I. or II. defeated the Indo-Skythians. The fact that -Chandragupta I. was not a ruler of sufficient importance to issue coins -and that even after his son Samudragupta’s victories the -Śakas remained practically independent make it almost certain that -if any subjection of the Śakas to the Guptas took place it -happened during the reign of Chandragupta II. <a class="fnarrow" -href="#n67.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n67.3" -href="#n67.3src" name="n67.3">34</a></span> <abbr title="Corpus Inscriptionum Indicarum">Corp.

The modern -name of Valabhi is Vaḷeh. It is impossible to say whether the -modern Vaḷeh is a corruption of Valahi the Prakrit form of the -Sanskrit Valabhi or whether Valabhi is Sanskritised from a local -original Vaḷeh. The form Valahi occurs in the writings of -Jinaprabhasuri a learned Jain of the thirteenth century who describes -Śatruñjaya as in the Valáhaka province.

The country was about -1000 miles (6000 <i>li</i>) and the capital about five miles (30 -<i>li</i>) in circumference. The soil the climate and the manners of -the people were like those of Málava. The population was dense; -the religious establishments rich. Over a hundred merchants owned a -hundred <i>lákhs</i>. The rare and valuable products of distant -regions were stored in great quantities. In the country were several -hundred monasteries or <i>sanghárámas</i> with about 6000 -monks. Most of them studied the Little Vehicle according to the -Sammatiya school. There were several hundred temples of Devas and -sectaries of many sorts. When Tathágata or Gautama Buddha -(<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 560–480) lived he often -travelled through this country. King Aśoka (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 240) had raised monuments or <i>stúpas</i> -in all places where Buddha had rested. Among these were spots where the -three past Buddhas sat or walked or preached. At the time of Hiuen -Tsiang’s account (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 640) the king -was of the Kshatriya caste, as all Indian rulers were. He was the -nephew of Śíláditya of Málava and the -son-in-law of the son of Śíláditya the reigning king -of Kanyákubja. His name was Dhruvapaṭu -(Tu-lu-h’o-po-tu). He was of a lively and hasty disposition, -shallow in wisdom and statecraft. He had only recently attached himself -sincerely to the faith in the three precious ones. He yearly summoned a -great assembly and during seven days gave away valuable gems and choice -meats. On the monks he bestowed in charity the three garments and -medicaments, or their equivalents in value, and precious articles made -of the seven rare and costly gems. These he gave in charity and -redeemed at twice their price. He esteemed the virtuous, honoured the -good, and revered the wise. Learned priests from distant regions were -specially honoured. Not far from the city was a great monastery built -by the Arhat Áchára (’O-che-lo), where, during -their travels, the Bodhisattvas Gunamati and Sthiramati (Kien-hwni) -settled and composed renowned treatises.<a class="noteref" id="n79.1src" href="#n79.1" name="n79.1src">3</a></p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Valabhi Copperplates.</span>The only -historical materials regarding the Valabhi dynasty are their -copperplates of which a large number have been found.

All are in one style two -plates inscribed breadthwise on the inner side, the earliest plates -being the smallest. The plates are held together by two rings passed -through two holes in their horizontal upper margin. One of the rings -bears on one side a seal with, as a badge of the religion of the -dynasty, a well-proportioned seated Nandi or bull. Under the bull is -the word Bhaṭárka the name of the founder of the dynasty. -Except such differences as may be traced to the lapse of time, the -characters are the same in all, and at the same time differ from the -character then in use in the Valabhi territory which must have been -that from which Devanágarí is derived. The Valabhi plate -character is adopted from that previously in use in South -Gujarát plates which was taken from the South Indian character. -The use of this character suggests that either Bhaṭárka or -the clerks and writers of the plates came from South -Gujarát.<a class="noteref" id="n80.1src" href="#n80.1" name="n80.1src">6</a> The language of all the grants is Sanskrit prose.

The grants begin by recording they were made either -‘from Valabhi’ the capital, or ‘from the royal -camp’ ‘<i lang="sa-latn">Vijayaskandhávára</i>.’ Then follows the -genealogy of the dynasty from Bhaṭárka the founder to the -grantor king. Each king has in every grant a series of attributes which -appear to have been fixed for him once for all. Except in rare -instances the grants contain nothing historical.

The followers of -the Nakulíśa-Páśupata school were strict -devotees of Śaivism, Nakulíśa the founder being -regarded as an incarnation of Śiva. The date of the foundation of -this school is not yet determined.

Though no special -representatives of this school remain, in spite of their nominal -allegiance to Śankaráchárya the -Daśanámis or Atíts are in fact Nakulíśas -in their discipline doctrines and habits—applying ashes over the -whole body, planting a <i>liṅga</i> over the grave of a buried -Atít, and possessing proprietary rights over Śaiva temples. -The Páśupatas were ever ready to fight for their school and -often helped and served in the armies of kings who became their -disciples. Till a century ago these unpaid followers recruited the -armies of India with celibates firm and strong in fighting. It was -apparently to gain these recruits that so many of the old rulers of -India became followers of the Páśupata school. To secure -their services the rulers had to pay them special respect. The leaders -of these fighting monks were regarded as pontiffs like the -Bappa-páda or Pontiff of the later Valabhi and other kings. Thus -among the later Valabhis Śíláditya IV. is called -<i>Bávapádánudhyáta</i> and all subsequent -Śíládityas -<i>Bappapádánudhyáta</i> both titles meaning -Worshipping at the feet of <span class="corr" id="xd25e11192" title="Source: Bava">Báva</span> or Bappa.</p> -<p>This Báva is the popular Prakrit form of the older Prakrit or -<i>deśí</i> Bappa meaning Father or worshipful. Bappa is -the original of the Hindustáni and Gujaráti -Bává father or elder; it is also a special term for a -head Gosávi or Atít or indeed for any recluse. The -epithet <i>Bappa-pádánudhyáta</i>, Bowing at the -feet of Bappa, occurs in the attributes of several Nepál kings, -and in the case of king Vasantasena appears the full phrase:</p> -<div class="q xd25e5034"> -<p class="first"><i lang="sa-latn">Parama-daivata-bappa-bhaṭṭáraka-mahárája-Śrí-pádánudhyáta.</i></p> -<p>Falling at the illustrious feet of the great Mahárája -Lord Bappa.</p> -</div> -<p>These Nepál kings were Śaivas as they are called -<i>parama-máheśvara</i> in the text of the inscription and -like the Valabhi seals their seals bear a bull.

In these -circumstances the most probable explanation of the Bappa or Báva -of these inscriptions is that it was applied to Shaivite pontiffs or -ecclesiastical dignitaries. The attribute <i>Parama-daivata</i> The -Great Divine prefixed to Bappa in the inscription of Vasantasena -confirms this view. That such royal titles as -<i>Mahárájádhirája</i>, -<i>Paramabhaṭṭáraka</i>, and <i>Parameśvara</i> -are ascribed to Bappa is in agreement with the present use of -Mahárája for all priestly Bráhmans and recluses -and of Bhaṭṭáraka for Digambara Jain priests. Though -specially associated with Śaivas the title <i>bappa</i> is applied -also to Vaishnava dignitaries. That the term <i>bappa</i> was in -similar use among the Buddhists appears from the title of a Valabhi -<i>vihára</i> Bappapádíyavihára The -monastery of the worshipful Bappa that is Of the great teacher -Sthiramati by whom it was built.<a class="noteref" id="n85.1src" href="#n85.1" name="n85.1src">14</a></p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Origin of the Valabhis.</span>The tribe or -race of Bhaṭárka the founder of the Valabhi dynasty is -doubtful. None of the numerous Valabhi copperplates mentions the race -of the founder. The Chalukya and Ráshṭrakúṭa -copperplates are silent regarding the Valabhi dynasty. And it is worthy -of note that the Gehlots and Gohils, who are descended from the -Valabhis, take their name not from their race but from king Guha or -Guhasena (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 559–567) the fourth -ruler and apparently the first great sovereign among the Valabhis. -These considerations make it probable that Bhaṭárka -belonged to some low or stranger tribe. Though the evidence falls short -of proof the probability seems strong that Bhaṭárka -belonged to the Gurjara tribe, and that it was the supremacy of him and -his descendants which gave rise to the name Gurjjara-rátra the -country of the Gurjjaras, a name used at first by outsiders and -afterwards adopted by the people of Gujarát. Except -Bhaṭárka and his powerful dynasty no kings occur of -sufficient importance to have given their name to the great province of -Gujarát. Against their Gurjara origin it may be urged that the -Chinese traveller Hiuen Tsiang (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 640) -calls the king of Valabhi a Kshatriya. Still Hiuen Tsiang’s -remark was made more than a century after the establishment of the -dynasty when their rise to power and influence had made it possible for -them to ennoble themselves by calling themselves Kshatriyas and tracing -their lineage to <span class="corr" id="xd25e11285" title="Source: Puranic">Puráṇic</span> heroes.

Seeing that Alexander’s writers were specially -interested in and acquainted with the Malloi and Oxydrakai it is -strange if St. Martin is correct in stating that Greek writings show no -trace of the name Báhika.

Strabo<a class="noteref" id="n105.8src" href="#n105.8" name="n105.8src">107</a> gives two reasons why the Oxydrakai -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb106" href="#pb106" name="pb106">106</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter VIII.<br> -<span class="sc">The Valabhis, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 509–766.</span><br> -Válas.</span> were called Bacchic.

These figures -probably represent a married pair who paid for this gateway. Further -below are figures of <i>gaṇas</i> of Śiva. In 1884 in -repairing the south bank of the pond a number of carved stones were -brought from the north of the town. About half a mile north-west of the -town on the bank of a dry brook, is a temple of Chámundá -Deví of about the tenth century. It contains a mutilated -life-size image of Chámundá. Facing the temple lie -mutilated figures of the seven Mátrikás and of Bhairava, -probably the remains of a separate altar facing the temple with the -<i>mátri-maṇḍala</i> or Mother-Meeting upon it. The -village has a large modern temple of Śiva called Nakleśvara, -on the site of some old temple and mostly built of old carved temple -stones.

The name Nakleśvara would seem to have been derived from -Nakuliśa the founder of the Páśupata sect and the -temple may originally have had an image of Nakuliśa himself or a -<i>liṅga</i> representing Nakulíśa. Close to the west -of the village near a small dry reservoir called the Kuṇḍa -of Rájarájeśvara lies a well-preserved black stone -seated figure of Chaṇḍa one of the most respected of -Śiva’s attendants, without whose worship all worship of -Śiva is imperfect, and to whom all that remains after making -oblations to Śiva is offered.

Grants remain of Jayasiṃhavarmman’s sons dated -Ś. 421, 443, and 490.<a class="noteref" id="n107.4src" href="#n107.4" name="n107.4src">4</a> This checked by -Vikramáditya’s known date (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 670–680) gives an initial between -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 249 and 259. Of the two -Gujarát eras, the Gupta-Valabhi (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 319) and the Traikúṭaka -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 248–9), the Gupta-Valabhi is -clearly unsuitable. On the other hand the result is so closely in -accord with <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 248–9, the -Traikúṭaka epoch, as to place the correctness of the -identification almost beyond question.</p> -<p>Jayasiṃhavarmman must have established his power in South -Gujarát before <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 669–70 -(T. 421), as in that year his son Śryáśraya made a -grant as heir apparent. Another plate of Śryáśraya -found in Surat shows that in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 691–2 (T. 443) Jayasiṃhavarmman was -still ruling with Śryáśraya as heir apparent. In view -of these facts the establishment of Jayasiṃhavarmman’s -power in Gujarát must be taken at about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 666. The copperplates of his sons and grandson do -not say whom Jayasiṃhavarmman overthrew. Probably the defeated -rulers were Gurjjaras, as about this time a Gurjjara dynasty held the -Broach district with its capital at Nándípurí the -modern Nándod in the Rájpipla State about thirty-five -miles east of Broach.

634–740.</span></span> -Vijayarája’s grant of the year 394 (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 642–3) is the earliest trace of -Chálukya rule in Gujarát. Dr. Bhagvánlál, -who believed in its genuineness, supposes it to be dated in the Gupta -era (<span class="sc">G.</span> 394 = <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 714) and infers from it the existence of -Chálukya rule far to the north of Broach. But the most cursory -comparison of it with the Kheḍá grants of Dadda II. (see -<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> XIII. 81ff) which are -dated (admittedly in the [so-called] Traikúṭaka era) 380 -and 385 respectively, shows that a large number of Dadda’s -grantees reappear in the Chálukya grant. The date of the -Chálukya plate must therefore be interpreted as a -Traikúṭaka or Chedi date.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote"><span class="sc">a.d.</span> 610–640.</span>This being so, it is clearly -impossible to suppose that Vijayarája’s grandfather -Jayasiṃha is that younger son of Pulakeśi II. (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 610–640) who founded the Gujarát -branch family. It has been usually supposed that the Jayasiṃha of -our grant was a younger brother of Pulakeśi II.: but this also is -chronologically impossible: for Jayasiṃha can hardly have been -more than ten years of age in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 597–98, when his elder brother was set -aside as too young to rule. His son Buddhavarmman could hardly have -been born before <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 610, so that -Buddhavarmman’s son Vijayarája must have made his grant at -the age of twelve at latest. The true solution of the question seems to -be that given by Dr. Bhandárkar in his Early History of the -Deccan (page 42 note 7), namely that the grant is a forgery. To the -reasons advanced by him may be added the fact pointed out by Mr. Fleet -(<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> VII. 251) that the -grant is a palimpsest, the engraver having originally commenced it -“Svasti Vijayavikshepán Na.” It can hardly be -doubted that <i>Na</i> is the first syllable of -Nándípurí the palace of the Gurjjara kings. Many -of the grantees were Bráhmans of Jambusar and subjects of Dadda -II. of Broach, whose grants to them are extant. It seems obvious that -Vijayarája’s grant was forged in the interest of these -persons by some one who had Gurjjara grants before him as models, but -knew very little of the forms used in the chancery of the -Chálukyas.</p> -<p>Setting aside this grant, the first genuine trace of Chálukya -rule in Gujarát is to be found in the grant of the Sendraka -chief Nikumbhallaśakti, which bears date Saṃ. 406 -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 654–5) and relates to the gift -to a Bráhman of the village of Balisa (Wanesa) in the -Treyaṇṇa (Ten) district. Dr. Bühler has shown -(<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> XVIII. page 265ff) -that the Sendrakas were a Kánarese family, and that -Nikumbhallaśakti must have come to Gujarát as a -Chálukya feudatory, though he names no overlord. He was -doubtless subordinate to the Chálukya governor of -Násik.</p> -<p>The next grant that requires notice is that of Nágavarddhana, -who describes himself distinctly as the son of Pulakeśi’s -brother Jayasiṃha, though Dr. Bhagvánlál believed -this Jayasiṃha to be Pulakeśi’s son. Mr. Fleet points -out other difficulties connected with this grant, but on the whole -decides in favour of its genuineness (see <abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> IX. 123). The description of -Pulakeśi II. in this grant refers to his victory over -Harshavarddhana, but also describes him as having conquered the three -kingdoms of Chera, Chola, and Páṇḍya by means of his -horse of the Chitrakaṇṭha breed, and as meditating on the -feet of Śri Nágavarddhana. Now all of these epithets, -except the reference to Harshavarddhana, belong properly, not to -Pulakeśi II. but to his son Vikramáditya I. The conquest of -the confederacy of Cholas, Cheras (or Keraḷas), and -Páṇḍyas is ascribed to Vikramáditya in the -inscriptions of his son Vinayáditya (Fleet in <abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> X. 134): the -Chitrakaṇṭha horse is named in Vikramáditya’s -own grants (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> VI. 75 -&c.) while his meditation upon the feet of Nágavarddhana -recurs in the T. 421 grant of Śryáśraya -Śíláditya (<abbr title="Bombay Branch Royal Asiatic Society">B. B. R. A. S.</abbr> XVI. 1ff). -This confusion of epithets between Pulakeśi II. and -Vikramáditya makes it difficult to doubt that -Nágavarddhana’s grant was composed either during or after -Vikramáditya’s reign, and under the influence of that -king’s grants. It may be argued that even in that case the grant -may be genuine, its inconsistencies being due merely to carelessness. -This supposition the following considerations seem <span class="corr" -id="xd25e14435" title="Source: to">too</span> negative. Pulakeśi -II. was alive at the time of Hiuen Tsiang’s visit (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 640), but is not likely to have reigned very much -longer. And, as Vikramáditya’s reign is supposed to have -begun about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 669–70, a gap -remains of nearly thirty years. That part of this period was occupied -by the war with the three kings <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb112" -href="#pb112" name="pb112">112</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter IX.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chálukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 634–740.</span></span> of the south we know -from Vikramáditya’s own grants: but the grant of -Śryáśraya Śíláditya referred to -above seems to show that Vikramáditya was the successor, not of -his father, but of Nágavarddhana upon whose feet he is described -as meditating. It follows that Nágavarddhana succeeded -Pulakeśi and preceded Vikramáditya on the imperial throne -of the Chálukyas whereas his grant could not have been composed -until the reign of Vikramáditya.</p> -<p>Although the grant is not genuine, we have no reason to doubt that -it gives a correct genealogy, and that Nágavarddhana was the son -of Pulakeśi’s brother Jayasiṃha and therefore the -first cousin of Vikramáditya. The grant is in the regular -Chálukya style, and the writer, living near the Northern -Chálukya capital, Násik, had better models than the -composer of Vijayarája’s grant. Both grants may have been -composed about the time when the Chálukya power succumbed to the -attacks of the Ráshṭrakúṭas (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 743).—(A. M. T.

Ant.</abbr> XIII. 116, VII. 61, and XVII. 183) -as their genuineness has been assumed by Dr. Bühler in his recent -paper on the Mahábhárata, in spite of Mr. Fleet’s -proof (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> XVIII. 19) that -their dates do not work out correctly.</p> -<p>Dr. Bhagvánlál’s (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> XIII. 70) chief grounds for holding -that the Umetá and Iláo grants (the Bagumrá grant -was unknown to him) were forgeries were:</p> -<ul> -<li>(1) Their close resemblance in palæography to one another and -to the forged grant of Dharasena II. of Valabhi dated Śaka -400;</li> -<li>(2) That though they purport to belong to the fifth century they -bear the same writer’s name as the Kheḍá grants of -the seventh century.</li> -</ul> -<p>Further Mr. Fleet (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> -XIII. 116) pointed out:</p> -<ul> -<li>(3) That the description of Dadda I. in the Iláo and -Umetá grants agrees almost literally with that of Dadda II. in -the Kheḍá grants, and that where it differs the -Kheḍá grants have the better readings.</li> -</ul> -<p>To these arguments Dr. Bühler has replied (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> XVII. 183):</p> -<ul> -<li>(1) That though there is a resemblance between these grants and -that of Dharasena II., still it does not prove more than that the -forger of Dharasena’s grant had one of the other grants before -him;</li> -<li>(2) That, as the father’s name of the writer is not given in -the Kheḍá grants, it cannot be assumed that he was the -same person as the writer of the Iláo and Umetá grants; -and <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb118" href="#pb118" name="pb118">118</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter X.<br> -<span class="sc">The Gurjjaras, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 580–808.</span></span></li> -<li>(3) That genuine grants sometimes show that a description written -for one king is afterwards applied to another, and that good or bad -readings are no test of the age of a grant.</li> -</ul> -<p>It may be admitted that Dr. Bühler has made it probable that -the suspected grants and the grant of Dharasena were not all written by -the same hand, and also that the coincidence in the writer’s name -is not of much importance in itself. But the palæographical -resemblance between Dharasena’s grant on the one hand and the -doubtful Gurjjara grants on the other is so close that they must have -been written at about the same time. As to the third point, the verbal -agreement between the doubtful grants on the one hand and the -Kheḍá grants on the other implies the existence of a -continuous tradition in the record office of the dynasty from the end -of the fifth till near the middle of the seventh century. But the -Saṅkheḍá grant of Nirihullaka (<abbr title="Epigraphia Indica">Ep. Ind.</abbr> II. 21) shows that towards the end -of the sixth century the lower Narbadá valley was occupied by -jungle tribes who acknowledged the supremacy of the Kalachuris. Is it -reasonable to suppose that after the first Gurjjara line was thus -displaced, the restorers of the dynasty should have had any memory of -the forms in which the first line drew up their grants? At any rate, if -they had, they would also have retained their original seal, which, as -the analogy of the Valabhi plates teaches us, would bear the -founder’s name. But we find that the seal of the -Kheḍá plates bears the name “Sámanta -Dadda,” who can be no other than the “Sámanta -Dadda” who ruled from <span class="sc">C.</span> 585–605 -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> It follows that the Gurjjaras of the -seventh century themselves traced back their history in Broach no -further than <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 585. Again, it has been -pointed out in the text that a passage in the description of Dadda II. -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 620–650) in the -Kheḍá grants seems to refer to his protection of the -Valabhi king, so that the description must have been written for -<i>him</i> and not for the fifth century Dadda as Dr. -Bühler’s theory requires.</p> -<p>These points coupled with Mr. Fleet’s proof (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. Ant.</abbr> XVIII. 91) that the Śaka dates -do not work out correctly, may perhaps be enough to show that none of -these three grants can be relied upon as genuine.—(A. M.

Of this Kṛishṇa the Baroda grant says -that he assumed the government for the good of the family after having -rooted out a member of the family who had taken to mischief-making.

According to the grants the allied -chiefs were no match for Govinda. The Gurjjara fled through fear, not -returning even in dreams, and the Málava king submitted. Who the -Gurjjara was it is hard to say. He may have belonged to some Gurjjara -dynasty that rose to importance after Dantidurga’s conquest or -the name may mean a ruler of the Gurjjara country. In either case some -North Gujarát ruler is meant whose conquest opened the route -from Broach to Málwa. From Málwa Govinda marched to the -Vindhyas where the king apparently of East Málwa named -Márá Śarva submitted to Govinda paying tribute.

As the Baroda plate (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 812) makes no mention of Amoghavarsha-Śarvva -while the Navsárí plate (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 816) mentions him as the next king after Govinda -III. it follows that Govinda III. died and Amoghavarsha succeeded -between <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 812 and 816 (Ś. 734 and -738). This supports Mr. Fleet’s conclusion, on the authority of -Amoghavarsha’s Sirur inscription, that he came to the throne in -Śaka 736 (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 814).

The writer of the grant is -mentioned as the great minister of peace and war Nemáditya son -of Durgabhaṭṭa, and the Dútaka or grantor is said to -be Rájaputra that is prince Dantivarmman apparently a son of -Karka.

The grantee is a South -Indian Bráhman from Bádámi in Bijápur, a -man of learning popularly known as Paṇḍita -Vallabharája because he was proficient in the fourteen -Vidyás.

The writer of the grant is the minister of war -and peace Náráyana son of Durgabhaṭṭa. As -this is the first grant by a Gujarát -Ráshṭrakúṭa of lands south of the -Tápti it may be inferred that in return for his support -Amoghavarsha added to Karka’s territory the portion of the North -Konkan which now forms Gujarát south of the Tápti.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Dantivarmman, Heir -Apparent.</span>According to Karka’s Baroda plate (Ś. 734, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 812) Karka had a son named -Dantivarmman who is mentioned as the princely Dútaka of the -plate. The fact of being a Dútaka implies that Dantivarmman was -then of age. That Dantivarmman was a son of Karka is supported by -Akálavarsha’s Bagumrá plate (Ś. 810, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 888), where, though the plate is -badly composed and the grammar is faulty, certain useful details are -given regarding Dantivarmman who is clearly mentioned as the son of -Karka.

The Sanskrit form -Ráshṭrakúṭa may mean either leaders of the -Ráshṭra tribe or heads of the territorial division named -<i>ráshtra</i>. The closely related forms -Ráshṭrapati and Grámakúṭa occur (above -page 82) in Valabhi inscriptions. And Mr. Fleet (Kánarese -Dynasties, 32) notices that Ráshṭrakúṭa is -used in the inscriptions of many dynasties as a title equivalent to -Ráshṭrapati. Such a title might readily become a family -name like that of the Sáhi Játs of the Panjáb or -the Maráthi surnames Patel, Nadkarni, and Desái. It may -be noted that one of the Márwár traditions (<span class="corr" id="xd25e16805" title="Source: Rajputána">Rájputána</span> Gazetteer, -III. 246) connects the word Ráthoḍ with -Ráshṭra country making the original form -Ráshṭravara or World-blessing and referring to an early -tribal guardian Ráshṭraśyena or the World-Falcon. It -is therefore possible that the origin of both forms of the name, of -Ráthoḍ as well as of -Ráshṭrakúṭa, is the title ruler of a -district. At the same time in the case of the southern -Ráshṭrakúṭas the balance of evidence is in -support of a tribal origin of the name. The Raṭṭas of -Saundatti in Belgaum, apparently with justice, claim descent from the -former Ráshṭrakúṭa rulers (Belgaum Gazetteer, -355). Further that the Ráshṭrakúṭas -considered themselves to belong to the Raṭṭa tribe is shown -by Indra Nityaṃvarsha (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 914) -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb132" href="#pb132" name="pb132">132</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter XI.<br> -<span class="sc">The Ráshṭrakúṭas, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 743–974.</span></span> calling -himself Raṭṭakandarpa the Love of the Raṭṭas. -The result is thus in agreement with the view accepted in the text that -Ráshṭrakúṭa means leaders of the -Raṭṭa tribe, the form Ráshṭra being perhaps -chosen because the leaders held the position of -Ráshṭrakúṭas or District Headmen. According -to Dr. Bhandárkar (Deccan History, 9) the tribal name -Raṭṭa or Ráshṭra enters into the still more -famous Dakhan tribal name Maharátha or Mahrátta. So far -as present information goes both the Raṭṭas and the Great -Raṭṭas are to be traced to the Rástikas mentioned in -number five of <span class="corr" id="xd25e16826" title="Source: Asoka’s">Aśoka’s</span> (<span class="sc">b.c.</span> 245) Girnár edicts among the -Aparántas or westerners along with the Peteṇikas or people -of Paithan about forty miles north-east of Ahmadnagar (Kolhápur -Gazetteer, 82). Whether the Rástika of the edicts is like -Peteṇika a purely local name and if so why a portion of the north -Dakhan should be specially known as the country or Ráshṭra -are points that must remain open.<a class="noteref" id="n132.1src" -href="#n132.1" name="n132.1src">38</a></p> -<p>The explanation that Kúṭa the second half of -Ráshṭrakúṭa, means chief, has been accepted -in the text. This is probably correct. At the same time the rival -theory deserves notice that the name -Ráshṭrakúṭa is formed from two tribal names -Kúṭa representing the early widespread tribe allied to the -Gonds known as Koṭṭas and Koḍs in the Central -Provinces North Konkan and Delhi (Thána Gazetteer, XII. Part II. -414). In support of this view it may be noticed that Abhimanyu’s -fifth century Ráshṭrakúṭa inscription (J. Bo. -Br. R. As. XVI. 92) refers to the Koṭṭas though as enemies -not allies of the Ráshṭrakúṭas. At the same -time certain details in Abhimanyu’s grant favour an early -Ráshṭrakúṭa settlement in the Central -Provinces, the probable head-quarters of the Koṭṭas. The -grant is dated from Mánapura and is made to Dakshiṇa -Śiva of Peṭhapaṅgaraka which may be the Great -Śiva shrine in the Mahádev hills in -Hoshangábád, as this shrine is under the management of a -petty chief of a place called Pagára, and as Mánpur in -the Vindhya hills is not far off. Against the tribal origin of the word -Kúṭa is to be set the fact that the northern -Raṭṭas are also called -Ráshṭrakúṭas though any connection between -them and the Koṭṭa tribe seems unlikely.</p> -<p>The question remains were the southern Raṭṭas or -Ráshṭrakúṭas connected with the northern -Ráthoḍs or Ráshṭrakúṭas. If so -what was the nature of the connection and to what date does it belong. -The fact that, while the later southern -Ráshṭrakúṭas <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb133" href="#pb133" name="pb133">133</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter XI.<br> -<span class="sc">The Ráshṭrakúṭas, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 743–974.</span></span> call -themselves Yádavas of the Lunar race, the northerners claim -descent either from Kuśa the son of Ráma or from -Hiraṇyakaśipu would seem to prove no connection did not -Abhimanyu’s fifth century grant show that in his time the -southern Ráshṭrakúṭas had not begun to claim -Yádava descent. That the Márwár -Ráthoḍs trace their name to the <i>ráht</i> or -spine of Indra (Tod’s Annals, II. 2), and in a closely similar -fashion the Ráth or Rattu Játs of the Sutlej -(Ibbetson’s 1881 Census, page 236) explain their name as -stronghanded, and the Raṭṭas of Bijápur -(Bijápur Stat. Account, 145) trace their name to the -Kánarese <i>raṭṭa</i> right arm, may imply no closer -connection than the common attempt to find a meaning for the name -Raṭṭa in a suitable word of similar sound. A legend -preserved in the Rájputána Gazetteer (III. 246), but not -noted by Tod, tells how Sevji, after (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1139) the Musalmáns drove his father -Jaichand out of Kanauj (Tod’s Annals, I. 88) took Khergad from -the Gehlots and went to the Karṇáṭak. where the -Ráthoḍs had ruled before they came to Kanauj. From the -Karṇáṭak Sevji brought the image of the -Ráhtoḍ Ráshṭraśyena which is now in the -temple of Nágána in Meváḍ. The account -quoted in the text from Tod (Annals, I. 88) that the -Ráthoḍs who rose to power in Márwár in the -thirteenth century belonged to a royal family who had held Kanauj since -the fifth century has not stood the test of recent inquiry. It is now -known that about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 470 Kanauj was in -the hands of the Guptás. That about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 600, according to the contemporary -Śríharshacharita it was ruled by the Maukhari -Grahavarmán who was put to death by a Málwa chief and was -succeeded by Harsha. About <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 750, -according to the Rájátaraṅginí, Kanauj was -held by Yaśovarmán, and, in the next century, as -inscriptions prove by the family of Bhoja. It was not till about -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1050 that Kanauj was occupied by the -Gáhadavála or Gáharwála family from whom -the Ráthoḍs of Márwár claim -descent.<a class="noteref" id="n133.1src" href="#n133.1" name="n133.1src">39</a> If the legendary connection of the -Márwár Ráthoḍs with Kanauj must be dismissed -can the Márwár Ráthoḍs be a branch of the -southern Ráshṭrakúṭas who like the -Maráthás some 800 years later spread conquering -northwards? Such a northern settlement of the southern -Ráshṭrakúṭas might be a consequence of the -victories of the great Ráshṭrakúṭa Dhruva who -according to received opinions about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 790 conquered as far north as -Allahábád. It is beyond question that southerners or -Karṇáṭas were settled in North India between the -seventh and the eleventh centuries. Still the latest information makes -it improbable that Dhruva’s conquests extended further north than -Gujarát.

Several considerations make both of these solutions unlikely -if not impossible. First there is the remarkably widespread existence -of the name Ráhtor, Ratha, or Ratti, and endless variations of -these names, in almost all parts of the Panjáb, among all castes -from the Bráhman to the Baluch, among all religions -Musalmán, Sikh, Jain, and Bráhmanic.<a class="noteref" -id="n134.1src" href="#n134.1" name="n134.1src">41</a> No doubt the -practice of a waning tribe adopting the name of a waxing tribe has -always been common. No doubt also the fame of the name during the last -600 years must have tempted other classes to style themselves -Ráthoḍ. Still it is to be noted: first that (Ibbetson, -page 240) the Ráthoḍs of the Panjáb though -widespread are not numerous: and second that the list of -sub-caste-names has this merit that with a few exceptions the holders -of the sub-name are not known by it but by some general or craft name. -The evidence of these sub-caste or tribal names seems therefore to -support the view that some very large section of the Panjáb -population represent an important tribe or nation of whom the least -mixed remnant are perhaps the Ráthis or lower class -Rájputs of Kángra and Chamba (Ibbetson, pages 219 and -251) and from some connection with whom the Márwár -Ráthoḍs of the thirteenth century may have taken their -name. Among other traces of northern Ráshṭras in the -middle ages may be mentioned the twelfth and thirteenth century -Ráshṭrakúṭas of Badaun in the North-West -Provinces (Kielhorn in Epigraphia Indica, I. 61 and 63) and -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1150) in the -Kumárapála-Charitra (Tod’s Western India, 182) the -mention of Ráshṭra-deśa near the Sawálak -hills. Among earlier and more doubtful references are the Aratrioi whom -probably correctly (since at that time <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247 one main Roman trade route to Central Asia -passed up the Indus) the author of the Periplus (McCrindle, 120) places -between Abhiria or lower Sindh and Arachosia or south-east -Afghanistán that is in north Sindh or south Panjáb. -Another earlier and still more doubtful reference is Pliny’s -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 77) Oraturæ (<abbr>Hist. -Nat.</abbr> VI. 23) whom Vivien de St. Martin (<span lang="fr"><abbr>Geog.</abbr> Greque et Latine de l’Inde</span>, 203) -identifies with the Ráthoḍs. The fact that while claiming -descent from Ráma the Márwár Ráthoḍs -(Tod’s Annals, II. 2 and 5) preserved the legend that their -founder was Yavanaśwa from the northern city of Paralipur supports -the view that the tribe to which they belonged was of non-Indian or -Central Asian origin, and that this is the tribe of whom traces remain -in the Ráthi Rájputs of the Kángra hill country -and less purely in the widely spread Ráts, Rattas, and -Rátis of the Panjáb plains. The examples among -Panjáb caste names Rora for Arora (Ibbetson’s 1881 Census, -page 297), Her for Ahir (Ditto, 230–275), and Heri for Aheri -(Ditto, 310) suggest that the Panjáb Ráthors or -Raṭṭas may be the ancient Araṭṭas whom the -Mahábhárata (<abbr title="Chapter">Chap.</abbr> VII. -Verse 44. <abbr>J.

After Skandagupta under the next -known Gupta king Budhagupta (Gupta 165–180, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 484–499) no trace remains of Gupta -sovereignty in Sorath. It is known that Budhagupta was a weak king and -that the Gupta kingdom had already entered on its decline and lost its -outlying provinces.

Still there is reason to believe that during or -shortly after the time of Budhagupta some other race or dynasty -overthrew the Gupta Viceroy of these provinces and took them from the -Guptas. These powerful conquerors seem to be the tribe of Maitrakas -mentioned in Valabhi copperplates as people who had settled in -Káthiáváḍa and established a -<i>maṇḍala</i> or kingdom. Though these Maitrakas are -mentioned in no other records from Suráshṭra there seems -reason to identify the Maitrakas with the Mihiras the well-known tribe -of Mhers or Mers. In Sanskrit both <i>mitra</i> and <i>mihira</i> are -names of the sun, and it would be quite in agreement with the practise -of Sanskrit writers to use derivatives of the one for those of the -other. These Mhers or Mers are still found in -Káthiáváḍa settled round the Barda hills -while the Porbandar chiefs who are known as Jethvás are -recognized as the head of the tribe. The name Jethvá is not a -tribal but a family name, being taken from the proper or personal name -of the ancestor of the modern chiefs. As the Porbandar chiefs are -called the kings of the Mhers they probably belong to the same tribe, -though, being chiefs, they try, like other ruling families, to rank -higher than their tribe tracing their origin from -Hanúmán.

The historical kernel of the tradition appears to be -that the Mhers or Jethvás had a <i>makara</i> or fish as their -flag or symbol. One of the mythical stories of Makaradhvaja is that he -fought with Mayúradhvaja. Whatever coating of fable may have -overlaid the story, it contains a grain of history.

This fight is probably the historical contest in which the Mhers -fought with and overthrew the Gupta Viceroy of -Káthiáváḍa.</p> -<p>The Káthiáváḍa Mhers are a peculiar tribe -whose language dress and appearance mark them as foreign settlers from -Upper India. Like the Málavas, Játs, <span class="corr" -id="xd25e17250" title="Source: Gurjaras">Gurjjaras</span>, and -Pahlavas, the Mhers seem to have passed through the Punjáb Sindh -and North Gujarát into Káthiáváḍa -leaving settlements at Ajmír, Bádner, Jesalmír, -Kokalmír, and Mherváḍa. How and when the Mhers made -these settlements and entered Káthiáváḍa is -not known. It may be surmised that they came with Toramáṇa -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 470–512) who overthrew the -Guptas, and advanced far to the south and west in the train of some -general of Toramáṇa’s who may perhaps have entered -Suráshṭra. This is probable as the date of -Toramáṇa who overthrew Budhagupta is almost the same as -that of the Maitrakas mentioned as the opponents and enemies of -Bhaṭárka. In the time of Bhaṭárka -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 509–520?) the Mhers were -firmly established in the peninsula, otherwise they would not be -mentioned in the Valabhi grants as enemies of Bhaṭárka, a -tribe or <i>maṇḍala</i> wielding incomparable power. As -stated above in Chapter VIII. some time after the Mher settlement and -consolidation of power, Bhaṭárka seems to have come as -general of the fallen Guptas through Málwa and Broach by sea to -East Káthiáváḍa. He established himself at -Valabhi and then gradually dislodged the Mhers from Sorath until they -retired slightly to the north settling eventually at Morbi, which the -Jethvás still recognize as the earliest seat of their ancestors. -At Morbi they appear to have ruled contemporarily with the Valabhis. In -support of this it is to be noted that no known Valabhi plate records -any grant of lands or villages in Hálár, -Machhukántha, or Okhámandal in North -Káthiáváḍa. As the northmost place mentioned -in Valabhi plates is Venuthali known as Wania’s Vanthali in -Hálár it may be inferred that not the Valabhis but the -Mhers ruled the north coast of Káthiáváḍa, -probably as feudatories or subordinates of the Valabhis. On the -overthrow of Valabhi about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 770 the -Mhers appear to have seized the kingdom and ruled the whole of -Káthiáváḍa dividing it into separate -chiefships grouped under the two main divisions of Bardái and -Gohelvádia. About <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 860 the -Mhers made incursions into Central Gujarát.

Again Tod (Annals of Rajasthán, I. 9) -derives Meváḍa from <i>madhya</i> (Sk.) middle, and the -Mer of Merwáḍa from <i>meru</i> a hill. In support of -Tod’s view it is to be noted that the forts Balmer Jesalmer -Komalmer and Ajmer, which Pandit Bhagvánlál would derive -from the personal names of Mer leaders, are all either hill forts or -rocks (Annals, I. 11, and Note †). It is, on the other hand, to -be noted that no hill forts out of this particular tract of country are -called Mers, and that the similar names Koli and Malava, which with -equal probability as Medh might be derived from Koh and Mala hill, seem -to be tribal not geographical names. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n140.8src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n141.1" -href="#n141.1src" name="n141.1">14</a></span> The tales cited in the -Rás Málá (I. 103) prove that most of the Kolis -between Gujarát and Káthiáváḍa are -Mairs. That till the middle of the tenth century the south-east of -Káthiáváḍa was held by Medhs (Káth. -Gazetteer, 672) supports the view that the Kolis, whom about -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1190 (Tod’s Western India, I. -265) the Gohils drove out of the island of Piram, were Medhs, and this -is in agreement with <span class="corr" id="xd25e17628" title="Source: Idrisí">Idrísi</span> (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1130 Elliot, I. 83) who calls both Piram and the -Medhs by the name Mand. Similarly some of the Koli clans of Kacch -(Gazetteer, 70) seem to be descended from the Medhs. And according to -Mr. Dalpatram Khakkar three subdivisions of Brahmo-Kshatris, of which -the best known are the Mansura Mers and the Pipalia Mers, maintain the -surname Mair or Mer. (Cutch Gazetteer, 52 note 2.) Mera or Mehra is a -common surname among Sindhi Baluchis. Many of the best Musalmán -captains and pilots from Káthiáváḍa, Kacch, -and the Makrán coast still have Mer as a surname. Mehr is also a -favourite name among both Khojáhs and Memans, the two special -classes of Káthiáváḍa converts to -Islám. The Khojáhs explain the name as meaning Meher Ali -the friend of Ali; the Memans also explain Mer as Meher or friend. But -as among Memans Mer is a common name for women as well as for men the -word can hardly mean friend. The phrase Merbaí or Lady Mer -applied to Meman mothers seems to have its origin in the Rájput -practice of calling the wife by the name of her caste or tribe as -Káthiáníbaí, Meraníbaí. In -the case both of the Khojáhs and the Memans the name Mer seems -to be the old tribal name continued because it yielded itself to the -uses of Islám. Mehr, Mihr, and Mahar are also used as titles of -respect. The Khánt Kolis of Girnár, apparently a mixture -of the Maitrakas of the text and of a local hill tribe, still -(Káthiáwár Gazetteer, 142) honour their leaders -with the name Mer explaining the title by the Gujaráti mer the -main bead in a rosary. Similarly in <span class="corr" id="xd25e17634" -title="Source: Málwá">Málwa</span> a Gurjjara -title is Mihr (Rájputána Gazetteer, I. 80) and in the -Panjáb Máhar (Gazetteer of <span class="corr" id="xd25e17637" title="Source: Panjab">Panjáb</span>, -Gujrát, 50–51). And in Kacch the headman among the -Bharwáds, who according to some accounts are Gurjjarás, -is called Mir (Cutch Gazetteer, 81). Similarly among the Rabáris -of Kacch the name of the holy she-camel is Máta Meri. (Ditto, -80.)

At the same time the fact that -Mihirakula uses the more modern form Mihir makes it probable (Compare -Rawlinson’s Seventh Monarchy, 284) that Mihirakula’s -sun-worship was more directly the result of the spread of sun-worship -in Central Asia under the fiercely propagandist Sassanians Varahan V. -or Behram Gor (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 420–440), and -his successors Izdigerd II.

The name -Mihiraga suggests that the spread of sun-worship in the Panjáb -and Sindh, of which the sun-worship in Multán Sindh -Káthiáváḍa and Mewáḍ and the -fire-worshipping <span class="corr" id="xd25e17765" title="Source: Rajput">Rájput</span> and Sindh coins of the fifth and -sixth centuries are evidence, was helped by the spread of Sassanian -influence into Baluchistán Kacch-Gandevi and other parts of -western Sindh, through Sakastene the modern western Seistan near the -lake Helmund. This Sakastene or land of the Śakas received its -name from the settlement in it of one of the earlier waves of the -Yuechi in the second or first century before Christ. The name explains -the statement in the Bhavishya Purána that sun-worship was -introduced by Magas into Multán from Sakadvipa the land of the -Śakas. In this connection it is interesting to note that -Darmsteter (Zend Avesta, xxxiv.) holds that the Zend Avesta was -probably completed during the reign of Sháhpur II. (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 309–379): that (lxxxix.) Zend was a -language of eastern Persia an earlier form of Pashtu; and that -(lxxxiv.) western Seistan and the Helmund river was the holy land of -the Avesta the birth-place of Zoroaster and the scene of king -Vishtasp’s triumphs. A memory of the spread of this western or -Sassanian influence remains in the reference in the -Mujmalu-T-Tawárikh in Elliot, I. 107–109, to the fire -temples established in Kandabil (Gandevi) and Buddha (Mansura) by Mahra -a general of Bahman that is of Varahran V.

Further the known Dakhan -Chálukya lists contain no king named Bhuvaḍa, unless he be -the great Chálukya king Vijayáditya (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 696–733) also called Bhuvanásraya, -who warred in the north and was there imprisoned but made his escape. -The inference is that the author of the Ratnamálá, -knowing the Solaṅkis originally belonged to a city called -Kalyán, and knowing that a Chálukya king named -Bhuvaḍa had defeated the Chávaḍás may have -called Bhuvaḍa king of Kalyánkaṭaka and identified -Kalyánkaṭaka with a country so well known to <span class="corr" id="xd25e18262" title="Source: Puránik">Puráṇic</span> fame as -Kanyákubja. This view is supported by the absence in the -Prabandhachintámaṇi and other old records of any mention -of an invasion from Kanoj. It is possible that in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 696 some king Bhuvaḍa of the Gujarát -<span class="corr" id="xd25e18268" title="Source: Chálukyás">Chálukyas</span>, of whom at -this time branches were ruling as far north as Kaira,<a class="noteref" -id="n150.1src" href="#n150.1" name="n150.1src">4</a> invaded the -Chávaḍás under Jayaśekhara. Since traces of a -Chávoṭaka kingdom remain, at least as late as <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 720, it seems probable that the destruction of -Pañchásar was caused not by Bhuvaḍa in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 696, but in the Arab raid mentioned above whose -date falls about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 720.<a class="noteref" id="n150.2src" href="#n150.2" name="n150.2src">5</a> About -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 720 may therefore be taken as the -date <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb151" href="#pb151" name="pb151">151</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter I.<br> -<span class="sc">The <span class="corr" id="xd25e18305" title="Source: Chávadás">Chávaḍás</span>, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 720–956.</span><br> -Jayaśekhara, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 696.</span> of the -birth of Vanarája.

The story adds that a nun -named Víramatí brought up the boy whom the -<i>sádhu</i> called Vanarája or the forest king. When -eight years old, the priest employed Vanarája to protect his -place of worship from rats. The boy’s skill in shooting rats -convinced the priest he was not fit to be a <i>sádhu</i> but was -worthy of a kingdom. He therefore returned the boy to his mother.

The -Prabandhachintámaṇi records the following story of the -origin of Vanarája’s wealth. A Kanyákubja king -married Maháṇaká the daughter of a Gujarát -king. To receive the proceeds of the marriage cess which the -Gujarát king had levied from his subjects, a deputation or -<i>panchkúla</i> came from Kanyákubja to Gujarát. -The deputation made Vanarája their leader or <i>sellabhrit</i> -to realize the proceeds of the cess. In six months Vanarája -collected 24 <i>lákhs</i> of <i>Páruttha -drammas</i><a class="noteref" id="n151.2src" href="#n151.2" name="n151.2src">7</a> and 4000 horse, which the deputation took and started -for Kanyákubja. Vanarája waylaid and killed them, secured -the money and horses, and remained in hiding for a year. With the -wealth thus acquired Vanarája enrolled an army and established -his power assuming the title of king. <span class="marginnote">Founding -of Aṇahilaváḍa, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 746–765.</span>He fixed the site of a -capital which afterwards rose to be the great city of -Aṇahilapura. The story of the choice of the site is the usual -story of a hunted hare turning on the hounds showing the place to be -the special nurse of strength and courage. Vanarája is said to -have asked a Bharváḍ or Shepherd named Aṇahila son -of Śákhadá to show him the best site. Aṇahila -agreed on condition that the city should be called by his name. -Aṇahila accordingly showed Vanarája the place where a hare -had attacked and chased a dog. Though much in this tradition is -fabulous the city may have been called after some local chief since it -was popularly known as Aṇahilaváḍa (Sk. -Aṇahilaváta) that is the place of Aṇahila. In the -Prabandhachintámaṇi Merutuṇga gives <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 746 (<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 802) as -the date of the installation of Vanarája, while in his -<span class="corr" id="xd25e18365" title="Source: Vicháraśreni">Vicháraśreṇi</span> -the same author gives <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 765 -(<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 821 Vaisakha Śukla 2) as the -date of the foundation of the city.

From the absence -of any reference to him in these and similar tales it is probable that -his uncle Surapála died before the installing of -Vanarája. Vanarája is said to have built at -Aṇahilváḍa a Jain temple of -Pañchásará Párasnáth so called -because the image was brought from the old settlement of -Pañchásar.

The length of -Yogarája’s reign is given as thirty-five years by the -Prabandhachintámaṇi and the Ratnamálá, and -as twenty-nine by the Vicháraśreṇi.

The name Chaulukya is a Sanskritised -form, through an earlier form Chálukya, of the old names -Chalkya, Chalikya, Chirîkya, Chálukya of the great Dakhan -dynasty (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 552–973), made to -harmonise with the <span class="corr" id="xd25e18911" title="Source: Puránik-looking">Puráṇic-looking</span> -story that the founder of the dynasty sprang from the palm or -<i>chuluka</i> of Brahma. The form Chaulukya seems to have been -confined to authors and writers. It was used by the great Dakhan poet -Bilhaṇa (c. 1050 <span class="sc">a.d.</span>) and by the -Aṇahilaváḍa chroniclers. In Gujarát the -popular form of the word seems to have been Solaki or Solaṅki (a -dialectic variant of Chalukya), a name till lately used by -Gujarát bards.

No materials are -available to trace the original seat of the family or to show when and -whence they came to Gujarát.

The three brothers -attended a cavalry <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb157" href="#pb157" -name="pb157">157</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Múlarája, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–996.</span> parade held by king -Sámantasiṃha. An objection taken by Ráji to some of -the cavalry movements pleased Sámantasiṃha, who, taking -him to be the scion of some noble family, gave him his sister -Líládeví in marriage. -Líládeví died pregnant and the child, which was -taken alive from its dead mother’s womb was called -Múlarája, because the operation was performed when the -Múla constellation was in power. Múlarája grew -into an able and popular prince and helped to extend the kingdom of his -maternal uncle. In a fit of intoxication Sámantasiṃha -ordered Múlarája to be placed on the throne. He -afterwards cancelled the grant. But Múlarája contended -that a king once installed could not be degraded. He collected troops -defeated and slew his uncle and succeeded to the throne in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 942 (<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 998). -The main facts of this tale, that Múlarája’s father -was one Ráji of the Chálukya family, that his mother was -a Chávaḍá. princess, and that he came to the -Chávaḍá throne by killing his maternal uncle, -appear to be true. That Múlarája’s father’s -name was Ráji is proved by Dr. Bühler’s copperplate -of Múlarája.<a class="noteref" id="n157.1src" href="#n157.1" name="n157.1src">3</a> Merutuṅga’s details that -Ráji came in disguise to Aṇahilaváḍa, took -the fancy of Sámantasiṃha, and received his sister in -marriage seem fictions in the style common in the bardic praises of -Rájput princes. Dr. Bühler’s copperplate further -disproves the story as it calls Múlarája the son of the -illustrious Ráji, the great king of kings -<i>Mahárájádhirája</i>, a title which would -not be given to a wandering prince. Ráji appears to have been of -almost equal rank with the Chávaḍás. The -Ratnamálá calls Ráji fifth in descent from -Bhuvaḍa, his four predecessors being Karṇáditya, -Chándráditya, Somáditya, and Bhuvanáditya. -But the Ratnamálá list is on the face of it wrong, as it -gives five instead of seven or eight kings to fill the space of over -200 years between Jayaśekhara and Múlarája.</p> -<p>Most Jain chroniclers begin the history of -Aṇahilaváḍa with Múlarája who with the -Jains is the glory of the dynasty. After taking the small -Chávaḍá kingdom Múlarája spread his -power in all directions, overrunning -Káthiáváḍa and Kacch on the west, and -fighting Bárappa of Láṭa or South Gujarát on -the south, and Vigraharája king of Ajmir on the north. The Ajmir -kings were called Sapádalaksha. Why they were so called is not -known. This much is certain that Sapádalaksha is the Sanskrit -form of the modern Sewálik. It would seem that the -Choháns, whom the Gujarát Jain chroniclers call -Sapádalakshíya, must have come to Gujarát from the -Sewálik hills. After leaving the Sewálik hills the -capital was at Ajmir, which is usually said to have been first -fortified by the Chohán king Ajayapála (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1174–1177).<a class="noteref" id="n157.2src" href="#n157.2" name="n157.2src">4</a> This story seems -invented by the Choháns. The name Ajmir appears to be derived -from the Mehrs who were in power in these parts between the fifth and -the eighth centuries. The Hammíramahákávya begins -the Chohán genealogy with Vásudeva (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 780) and states that Vásudeva’s -fourth successor <span class="corr" id="xd25e18984" title="Source: Ájayapála">Ajayapála</span> established -the hill fort of Ajmir.

At the close of the rains the Sapádalaksha king fixed his -camp near a place called Śákambharí and bringing the -goddess Śákambharí there held the Nine-Night -festival. This device disappointed Múlarája. He sent for -his <i>sámantas</i> or nobles and gave them presents. He told -them his plans and called on them to support him in attacking the -Sapádalaksha king. Múlarája then mounted a female -elephant with no attendant but the driver and in the evening came -suddenly to the Ajmir camp. He dismounted and holding a drawn sword in -his hand said to the doorkeeper ‘What is your king doing. Go and -tell your lord that Múlarája waits at his door.’ -While the attendant was on his way to give the message, -Múlarája pushed him on one side and himself went into the -presence. The doorkeeper called ‘Here comes -Múlarája.’ Before he could be stopped -Múlarája forced his way in and took his seat on the -throne. The Ajmir king in consternation asked ‘Are you -Múlarája?’ Múlarája answered ‘I -would regard him as a brave king who would meet me face to face in -battle. While I was thinking no such brave enemy exists, you have -arrived. I ask no better fortune than to fight with you. But as soon as -you are come, like a bee falling in at dinner time, Bárappa the -general of king Tailapa of Telingana has arrived to attack me. While I -am punishing him you should keep quiet and not give me a side -blow.’ The Ajmir king said, ‘Though you are a king, you -have come here alone like a foot soldier, not caring for your safety. I -will be your ally for life.’ Múlarája replied -‘Say not so.’ He refused the Rája’s invitation -to dine, and leaving sword in hand mounted his elephant and with his -nobles attacked the camp of Bárappa. Bárappa was killed -and eighteen of his elephants and 10,000 of his horses fell into -Múlarája’s hands. While returning with the spoil -Múlarája received news that the Sapádalaksha king -had fled. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb159" href="#pb159" name="pb159">159</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Múlarája, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–996.</span> This story of the author of -the Prabandhachintámaṇi differs from that given by the -author of the Hammírakávya who describes -Múlarája as defeated and slain. The truth seems to be -that the Ajmír king defeated Múlarája and on -Múlarája’s submission did not press his advantage. -In these circumstances Múlarája’s victory over -Bárappa seems improbable. The Dvyáśraya devotes -seventy-five verses (27–101) of its sixth chapter to the contest -between Bárappa and Múlarája. The details may be -thus summarised. Once when Múlarája received presents -from various Indian kings Dvárappa<a class="noteref" id="n159.1src" href="#n159.1" name="n159.1src">8</a> king of -Láṭadeśa sent an ill-omened elephant. The marks being -examined by royal officers and by prince Chámuṇḍa, -they decided the elephant would bring destruction on the king who kept -him. The elephant was sent back in disgrace and Múlarája -and his son started with an army to attack Láṭadeśa -and avenge the insult. In his march Múlarája first came -to the Śvabhravatí or Sábarmatí which formed -the boundary of his kingdom, frightening the people. From the -Sábarmatí he advanced to the ancient Purí<a class="noteref" id="n159.2src" href="#n159.2" name="n159.2src">9</a> where -also the people became confused. The Láṭa king prepared -for fight, and was slain by <span class="corr" id="xd25e19075" title="Source: Chámunḍa">Chámuṇḍa</span> in -single combat. Múlarája advanced to Broach where -Bárappa who was assisted by the island kings opposed him. -Chámuṇḍa overcame them and slew Bárappa. -After this success Múlarája and -Chámuṇḍa returned to Aṇahilapura.<a class="noteref" id="n159.3src" href="#n159.3" name="n159.3src">10</a></p> -<p>The Dvyáśraya styles Bárappa king of -Láṭadeśa; the Prabandhachintámaṇi calls -him a general of Tailapa king of Telingána; the -Sukṛitasankírtana a general of the Kanyákubja king; -and the Kírtikaumudí<a class="noteref" id="n159.4src" -href="#n159.4" name="n159.4src">11</a> a general of the Lord of -Láṭa.</p> -<p>Other evidence proves that at the time of Múlarája a -Chaulukya king named Bárappa did reign in -Láṭadeśa. The Surat grant of Kírtirája -grandson of Bárappa is dated <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1018 (Śaka 940). This, taking twenty years -to a king, brings Bárappa’s date to <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 978 (Śaka 900), a year which falls in the -reign of Múlarája (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–996; Ś. 1027–1053). The -statement in the Prabandhachintámaṇi that Bárappa -was a general of Tailapa seems correct. The southern form of the name -Bárappa supports the statement. And as Tailapa overthrew the -Ráshṭrakúṭas in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 972 (Śaka 894) he might well place a general -in military charge of Láṭa, and allow him practical -independence.

With Graharipu was Lákhá of -Kacch, the king of Sindh probably a Sumrá, Mewás Bhilas, -and the sons of Graharipu’s wife Nílí who had been -summoned from near the Bhadar river by a message in the Yavana -language.<a class="noteref" id="n160.1src" href="#n160.1" name="n160.1src">13</a> With Múlarája were the kings of -Śiláprastha,<a class="noteref" id="n160.2src" href="#n160.2" name="n160.2src">14</a> of Márwár, of -Kásí, of Arbuda or Abu, and of Śrímála -or Bhínmál.

Somanátha came, and the ocean -accompanying the god certain ponds became brackish. In honour of these -salt pools Múlarája built the -Tripurushaprásáda. Looking for some one to place in -charge of this temple, Múlarája heard of an ascetic named -Kaṇthadi at Siddhapura on the banks of the Sarasvatí who -used to fast every other day and on the intervening day lived on five -morsels of food. Múlarája offered this sage the charge of -the temple. The sage declined saying ‘Authority is the surest -path to hell.’ Eventually Vayajalladeva a disciple of the sage -undertook the management on certain conditions. Múlarája -passed most of his days at the holy shrine of Siddhapura, the modern -Sidhpur on the Sarasvatí about fifteen miles north-east of -Aṇahilaváḍa. At Sidhpur Múlarája made -many grants to Bráhmans. Several branches of Gujarát -Bráhmans, Audíchyas Śrígauḍas and -Kanojias, trace their origin in Gujarát to an invitation from -Múlarája to Siddhapura and the local <span class="corr" -id="xd25e19197" title="Source: Puránas">Puráṇas</span> and -Máhátmyas confirm the story. As the term Audíchya -means Northerner Múlarája may have invited -Bráhmans from some such holy place as Kurukshetra which the -Audíchyas claim as their home. From Kanyákubja in the -Madhyadeśa between the Ganges and the Yamuná another -equally holy place the Kanojías may have been invited. The -Śrí Gauḍas appear to have come from Bengal and -Tirhut. Gauḍa and Tirhut Bráhmans are noted -Tántriks and Mantrasástris a branch of learning for which -both the people and the rulers of Gujarát have a great fondness. -Grants of villages were made to these Bráhmans. Sidhpur was -given to the Audíchyas, Siṃhapura or Sihor in -Káthiáváḍa to some other colony, and -Stambhatírtha or Cambay to the Śrí Gauḍas. At -Siddhapura Múlarája built the famous temple called the -Rudramahálaya or the great shrine of Rudra. According to -tradition Múlarája did not complete the -Rudramahálaya and Siddharája finished it. In spite of -this tradition it does not appear that Múlarája died -leaving the great temple unfinished as a copperplate of <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 987 (<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1043) -records that <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb162" href="#pb162" name="pb162">162</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Múlarája, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–996.</span> Múlarája made -the grant after worshipping the god of the Rudramahálaya on the -occasion of a solar eclipse on the fifteenth of the dark half of -Mágha.

According to the common belief -Siddharája did his great acts of heroism by the help of a demon -named Bábaro, whom he is said to have subdued by riding on a -corpse in a burying ground. The story in the -Prabandhachintámaṇi is similar to that told of the father -of Harshavardhana who subdued a demon with the help of a Yogí. -It is notable that the story had passed into its present form within a -hundred years of Siddharája’s death.

In reply Sajjana asked whether the -king would prefer the revenue in cash or the merit which had accrued -from spending the revenue in building the temple. Preferring the merit -the king sanctioned the spending of the revenues on the Tírtha -and Sajjana was reappointed governor of Sorath.<a class="noteref" id="n177.1src" href="#n177.1" name="n177.1src">67</a> This stone temple of -Sajjana would seem to be the present temple of Neminátha, though -many alterations have been made in consequence of Muhammadan sacrilege -and a modern enclosure has been added.

It contains little but the mention of the -Sádhu who was Sajjana’s constant adviser. On his return -from a second pilgrimage to Somanátha Siddharája who was -encamped near Raivataka that is Girnár expressed a wish to see -Sajjana’s temple. But the Bráhmans envious of the Jains -persuaded the king that as Girnár was shaped like a -<i>liṅg</i> it would be sacrilege to climb it. Siddharája -respected this objection and worshipped at the foot of the mountain. -From Girnár he went to Śatruñjaya. Here too -Bráhmans with drawn swords tried to prevent the king ascending -the hill. Siddharája went in disguise at night, worshipped the -Jain god Ádíśvara with Ganges water, and granted the -god twelve neighbouring villages. On the hill he saw so luxuriant a -growth of the <i>sállaki</i> a plant dear to elephants, that he -proposed to make the hill a breeding place for elephants a second -Vindhya. He was reminded what damage wild elephants would cause to the -holy place and for this reason abandoned his plan.</p> -<p>Siddharája’s second and greater war was with -Málwa. The cotemporary kings of Málwa were the -Paramára ruler Naravarman who flourished from <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1104 to 1133 (<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1160–1189) and his son and successor -Yaśovarman who ruled up to <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1143 -(<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1199) the year of -Siddharája’s death As the names of both these kings occur -in different accounts of this war, and, as the war is said to have -lasted twelve years, it seems that fighting began in the time of -Naravarman and that Siddharája’s final victory was gained -in the time of Yaśovarman in Siddharája’s old age -about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1134 (<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1190). This view is supported by the local -story that his expedition against Yaśovarman was undertaken while -Siddharája was building the Sahasraliṅga lake and other -religious works. It is not known how the war arose but the statement of -the Prabandhachintámaṇi that Siddharája vowed to -make a scabbard of Yaśovarman’s skin seems to show that -Siddharája received grave provocation. Siddharája is said -to have left the building of the Sahasraliṅga lake to the masons -and architects and himself to have <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb178" -href="#pb178" name="pb178">178</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Siddharája Jayasingha, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1094–1143.</span> started for Málwa. -The war dragged on and there seemed little hope of victory when news -reached Siddharája that the three south gates of -Dhárá could be forced. With the help of an elephant an -entrance was effected. Yaśovarman was captured and bound with six -ropes, and, with his captured enemy as his banner of victory, -Siddharája returned to Aṇahilapura. He remembered his vow, -but being prevented from carrying it out, he took a little of -Yaśovarman’s skin and adding other skin to it made a -scabbard. The captured king was thenceforward kept in a cage. It was -this complete conquest and annexation of Málwa that made -Siddharája assume the style of Avantínátha -‘Lord of Avantí,’ which is mentioned as his -<i>biruḍa</i> or title in most of the Chaulukya -copperplates.<a class="noteref" id="n178.1src" href="#n178.1" name="n178.1src">68</a> Málwa henceforward remained subject to -Aṇahilaváḍa. On the return from Málwa an army -of Bhíls who tried to block the way were attacked by the -minister Sántu and put to flight.</p> -<p>Siddharája’s next recorded war is with king -Madanavarman the Chandela king of Mahobaka the modern Mahobá in -Bundelkhand. Madanavarman, of whom General Cunningham has found -numerous inscriptions dating from <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1130 to 1164 (<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1186–1220),<a class="noteref" id="n178.2src" href="#n178.2" name="n178.2src">69</a> was one of the most -famous kings of the Chandela dynasty. An inscription of one of his -successors in Kálanjar fort records that Madanavarman ‘in -an instant defeated the king of Gurjjara, as Kṛishṇa in -former times defeated Kaṃsa,<a class="noteref" id="n178.3src" -href="#n178.3" name="n178.3src">70</a> a statement which agrees with -the Gujarát accounts of the war between him and Jayasiṃha. -In this conflict the Gujarát accounts do not seem to show that -Siddharája gained any great victory; he seems to have been -contented with a money present. The Kírtikaumudí states -that the king of Mahobaka honoured Siddharája as his guest and -paid a fine and tribute by way of hospitality. The account in the -Kumárapálacharita suggests that Siddharája was -compelled to come to terms and make peace. According to the -Kírtikaumudí, and this seems likely, Siddharája -went from Dhárá to <span class="corr" id="xd25e20328" -title="Source: Kálañjara">Kálanjara</span>. The -account in the Prabandhachintámaṇi is very confused. -According to the Kumárapálacharita, on -Siddharája’s way back from Dhárá at his camp -near Patan a bard came to the court and said to the king that his court -was as wonderful as the court of Madanavarman. The bard said that -Madanavarman was the king of the city of Mahobaka and most clever, -wise, liberal, and pleasure-loving. The king sent a courtier to test -the truth of the bard’s statement. The courtier returned after -six months declaring that the bard’s account was in no way -exaggerated. Hearing this Siddharája at once started against -Mahobaka and encamping within sixteen miles of the city sent his -minister to summon Madanavarman to surrender. Madanavarman who was -enjoying himself took little notice of the minister. This king, he -said, is the same who had to fight twelve years with -Dhárá; if, as is probable, since he is a -<i>kabádi</i> or wild king, he wants money, pay him what he -wants. The money <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb179" href="#pb179" -name="pb179">179</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Siddharája Jayasingha, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1094–1143.</span> was paid. But -Siddharája was so struck with Madanavarman’s indifference -that he would not leave until he had seen him. Madanavarman agreed to -receive him. Siddharája went with a large bodyguard to the royal -garden which contained a palace and enclosed pleasure-house and was -guarded by troops. Only four of Siddharája’s guards were -allowed to enter. With these four men Siddharája went in, was -shown the palace garden and pleasure-houses by Madanavarman, was -treated with great hospitality, and on his return to Patan was given a -guard of 120 men.</p> -<p>The Dvyáśraya says that after his conquest of Ujjain -Siddharája seized and imprisoned the king of a neighbouring -country named Sim. We have no other information on this point.</p> -<p>The Dohad inscription dated <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1140 -mentions the destruction of Sindhurája that is the king of Sindh -and other kings. The Kírtikaumudí also mentions the -binding of the lord of Sindhu. Nothing is known regarding the Sindh -war. The Kírtikaumudí mentions that after a war with -Arṇorája king of Sámbhar Siddharája gave his -daughter to Arṇorája. This seems to be a mistake as the -war and alliance with Arṇorája belong to -Kumárapála’s reign.</p> -<p>Siddharája, who like his ancestors was a Śaiva, showed -his zeal for the faith by constructing the two grandest works in -Gujarát the Rudramahálaya at <span class="corr" id="xd25e20363" title="Source: Siddhpur">Sidhpur</span> and the -Sahasraliṅga lake at Patan. The Jain chroniclers always try to -show that Siddharája was favourably inclined to Jainism. But -several of his acts go against this claim and some even show a dislike -of the Jains. It is true that the Jain sage Hemáchárya -lived with the king, but the king honoured him as a scholar rather than -as a Jain. On the occasion of the pilgrimage to Somanátha the -king offered Hemáchárya a palanquin, and, as he would not -accept the offer but kept on walking, the king blamed him calling him a -learned fool with no worldly wisdom. Again on one occasion while -returning from Málwa Siddharája encamped at a place -called Śrínagara, where the people had decorated their -temples with banners in honour of the king. Finding a banner floating -over a Jain temple the king asked in anger who had placed it there, as -he had forbidden the use of banners on Jain shrines and temples in -Gujarát. On being told that it was a very old shrine dating from -the time of Bharata, the king ordered that at the end of a year the -banner might be replaced. This shows the reverse of a leaning to -Jainism. Similarly, according to the Prabandhachintámaṇi, -Hemáchárya never dared to speak to the king in favour of -Jainism but used to say that all religions were good. This statement is -supported by the fact that the opening verses of all works written by -Hemáchárya in the time of Siddharája contain no -special praise of Jain deities.</p> -<p>So great is Siddharája’s fame as a builder that almost -every old work in Gujarát is ascribed to him. Tradition gives -him the credit of the Dabhoi fort which is of the time of the -Vághelá king Víradhavala, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1220–1260. The -Prabandhachintámaṇi gives this old verse regarding -Siddharája’s public works: ‘No one makes a great -temple (Rudramahálaya), a great pilgrimage (to -Somanátha), a great Ásthána (darbár hall), -or a great lake (Sahasraliṅga) <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb180" href="#pb180" name="pb180">180</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Siddharája Jayasingha, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1094–1143.</span> such as Siddharája -made.’<a class="noteref" id="n180.1src" href="#n180.1" name="n180.1src">71</a> Of these the Rudramahálaya, though very -little is left, from its size and the beauty of its carving, must have -been a magnificent work the grandest specimen of the architecture of -the Solaṅki period. The remains of the Sahasraliṅga lake at -Aṇahilapura show that it must have been a work of surprising size -and richness well deserving its title of <i>mahásaraḥ</i> -or great lake. Numerous other public works are ascribed to -Siddharája.<a class="noteref" id="n180.2src" href="#n180.2" -name="n180.2src">72</a></p> -<p>At this period it seems that the kings of Gujarát -Sámbhar and other districts, seeing the great reputation which -his literary tastes had gained for Bhoja of Dhárá used -all to keep Pandits. Certain carvings on the pillars of a mosque at the -south-west of the modern town of Dhárá show that the -building almost as it stands was the Sanskrit school founded by Bhoja. -The carvings in question are beautifully cut Sanskrit grammar tables. -Other inscriptions in praise of Naravarman show that Bhoja’s -successors continued to maintain the institution. In the floor of the -mosque are many large shining slabs of black marble, the largest as -much as seven feet long, all of them covered with inscriptions so badly -mutilated that nothing can be made out of them except that they were -Sanskrit and Prakrit verses in honour of some prince. On a rough -estimate the slabs contain as many as 4000 verses.<a class="noteref" -id="n180.3src" href="#n180.3" name="n180.3src">73</a> According to the -old saying any one who drank of the Sarasvatí well in -Dhárá became a scholar.

As in Dhárá so in -Ajmir the Aṛháí-dinká Jhopḍá -mosque is an old Sanskrit school, recent excavations having brought to -light slabs with entire dramas carved on them.

As has already been noticed -Siddharája’s constant companion was the great scholar and -Jain <i>áchárya</i> Hemachandra also called -Hemáchárya, who, under the king’s patronage, wrote -a treatise on grammar called Siddhahema, and also the well-known -Dvyáśrayakosha which was intended to teach both grammar and -the history of the Solaṅkis.

The pursuers failing to find him returned. At -night Kumárapála was let out bleeding from the thorns, -and promised the husbandmen that the day would come when their help -would be rewarded.

A Jain priest named Devachandra -Áchárya (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1078–1170; <abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1134–1226) came from Patan to Dhandhuka -and when in Dhandhuka went to pay his obeisance at the Modh -Vasahiká. While Devachandra was seated Chángodeva came -playing with other boys and went and sat beside the -<i>áchárya</i>. Struck with the boy’s audacity and -good looks the <i>áchárya</i> went with the council of -the village to Cháchiga’s house. Cháchiga was -absent but his wife being a Jain received the -<i>áchárya</i> with respect. When she heard that her son -was wanted by the council, without waiting to consult her husband, she -handed the boy to the <i>áchárya</i> who carried him off -to Karṇávatí and kept him there with the sons of -the minister Udayana. Cháchiga, disconsolate at the loss of his -son, went in quest of him vowing to eat nothing till the boy was found. -He came to Karṇávatí and in an angry mood called on -the <i>áchárya</i> to restore him his son. Udayana was -asked to interfere and at last persuaded Cháchiga to let the boy -stay with Devachandra.</p> -<p>In <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1097, when Chángodeva -was eight years old Cháchiga celebrated his son’s -consecration or <i>díkshá</i> and gave him the name of -Somachandra. As the boy became extremely learned Devachandra changed -his name to Hemachandra the Moon of gold. In <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1110 (<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1166) -at the age of 21, his mastery of all the Śástras and -Siddhántas was rewarded by the dignity of Súri or sage. -Siddharája was struck with his conversation and honoured him as -a man of learning. Hemachandra’s knowledge<span class="corr" id="xd25e21254" title="Not in source">,</span> wisdom and tact enabled him -to adhere openly to his Jain rules and beliefs though -Siddharája’s dislike of Jain practices was so great as at -times to amount to insult. After one of their quarrels -Hemáchárya kept away from the king for two or three days. -Then the king seeing his humility and his devotion to his faith -repented and apologised. The two went together to Somanátha -Patan and there Hemáchárya paid his obeisance to the -<i>liṅga</i> in a way that did not offend his own faith. During -Siddharája’s reign Hemáchárya wrote his well -known grammar with aphorisms or <i>sútras</i> and commentary or -<i>vṛitti</i> called Siddha-Hemachandra, a title compounded of -the king’s name and his own. As the Bráhmans found fault -with the absence of any detailed references to the king in the work -Hemachandra <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb192" href="#pb192" name="pb192">192</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Kumárapála, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1143–1174.</span> added one verse at the -end of each chapter in praise of the king. During -Siddharája’s reign he also wrote two other works, the -Haimínámamálá, “String of Names -composed by Hema(chandra)” or -Abhidhánachintámaṇi and the -Anekárthanámamálá<span class="corr" id="xd25e21286" title="Not in source">,</span> a Collection of words of -more than one meaning. He also began the -Dvyáśrayakosha<a class="noteref" id="n192.1src" href="#n192.1" name="n192.1src">102</a> or Double Dictionary being both a -grammar and a history. In spite of his value to -Kumárapála, in the beginning of -Kumárapála’s reign Hemáchárya was not -honoured as a spiritual guide and had to remain subordinate to -Bráhmans. When Kumárapála asked him what was the -most important religious work he could perform Hemáchárya -advised the restoring of the temple of Somanátha. Still -Hemáchárya so far won the king to his own faith that till -the completion of the temple he succeeded in persuading the king to -take the vow of <i>ahiṁsá</i> or non-killing which though -common to both faiths is a specially Jain observance. Seeing this mark -of his ascendancy over the king, the king’s family priest and -other Bráhmans began to envy and thwart -Hemáchárya. On the completion of the temple, when the -king was starting for Somanátha for the installation ceremony, -the Bráhmans told him that Hemáchárya did not mean -to go with him. Hemáchárya who had heard of the plot had -already accepted the invitation. He said being a recluse he must go on -foot, and that he also wanted to visit Girnár, and from -Girnár would join the king at Somanátha. His object was -to avoid travelling in a palanquin with the king or suffering a -repetition of Siddharája’s insult for not accepting a -<i>pálkí</i>. Soon after reaching Somanátha -Kumárapála asked after Hemáchárya. The -Bráhmans spread a story that he had been drowned, but -Hemáchárya was careful to appear in the temple as the -king reached it. The king saw him, called him, and took him with him to -the temple. Some Bráhmans told the king that the Jain priest -would not pay any obeisance to <span class="corr" id="xd25e21301" -title="Source: Siva">Śiva</span>, but Hemáchárya -saluted the god in the following verse in which was nothing contrary to -strict Jainism: ‘Salutation to him, whether he be Brahma, -<span class="corr" id="xd25e21304" title="Source: Vishnu">Vishṇu</span>, Hara, or Jina, from whom have -fled desires which produce the sprouts of the seed of -worldliness.’<a class="noteref" id="n192.2src" href="#n192.2" -name="n192.2src">103</a> After this joint visit to Somanátha -Hemachandra gained still more ascendancy over the king, who appreciated -his calmness of mind and his forbearance. The Bráhmans tried to -prevent the growth of his influence, but in the end Hemachandra -overcame them. He induced the king to place in the sight of his -Bráhmanical family priests an image of -Śántinátha Tírthaṅkara among his family -gods. He afterwards persuaded Kumárapála publicly to -adopt the Jain faith by going to the hermitage of Hemachandra and -giving <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb193" href="#pb193" name="pb193">193</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Kumárapála, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1143–1174.</span> numerous presents to Jain -ascetics. Finally under his influence Kumárapála put away -all Bráhmanical images from his family place of worship. Having -gone such lengths Kumárapála began to punish the -Bráhmans who insulted Hemachandra. A Bráhman named -Vámaráśi, a Pandit at the royal court, who composed -a verse insulting Hemachandra, lost his annuity and was reduced to -beggary, but on apologising to Hemachandra the annuity was restored. -Another Bráhmanical officer named Bháva Bṛihaspati, -who was stationed at Somanátha, was re-called for insulting -Hemachandra. But he too on apologising to Hemachandra was restored to -Somanátha. Under Hemachandra’s influence -Kumárapála gave up the use of flesh and wine, ceased to -take pleasure in the chase, and by beat of drum forbade throughout his -kingdom the taking of animal life. He withdrew their licenses from -hunters<span class="corr" id="xd25e21350" title="Not in source">,</span> fowlers and fishermen, and forced them to -adopt other callings. To what lengths this dread of life-taking was -carried appears from an order that only filtered water was to be given -to all animals employed in the royal army. Among the stories told of -the king’s zeal for life-saving is one of a Bania of -Sámbhar who having been caught killing a louse was brought in -chains to Aṇahilaváḍa, and had his property -confiscated and devoted to the building at -Aṇahilaváḍa of a Louse Temple or -Yúká-Vihára. According to another story a man of -Nador in Márwár was put to death by Kelhana the chief of -Nador to appease Kumárapála’s wrath at hearing that -the man’s wife had offered flesh to a field-god or -<i>kshetrapála</i>. Hemachandra also induced the king to forego -the claim of the state to the property of those who died without a -son.</p> -<p>During Kumárapála’s reign Hemachandra wrote many -well known Sanskrit and Prakrit works on literature and religion. Among -these are the Adhyátmopanishad or Yogaśástra a work -of 12,000 verses in twelve chapters called Prakáśas, the -Trisáshṭhisálákápurushacharitra or -lives of sixty-three Jain saints of the Utsarpiní and -Avasarpiní ages; the Pariśishṭaparvan, a work of 3500 -verses being the life of Jain Sthaviras who flourished after -Mahávíra; the Prákṛita -Śabdánuśásana or Prákrit grammar; the -Dvyáśraya<a class="noteref" id="n193.1src" href="#n193.1" -name="n193.1src">104</a> a Prakrit poem written with the double object -of teaching grammar and of giving the history of -Kumárapála; the Chhandonuśásana a work of -about 6000 verses on prosody; the -Liṅgánuśásana a work on genders; the -Deśínámamálá in Prakrit with a -commentary a work on local and provincial words; and the -Alaṅkárachúḍámaṇi a work on -rhetoric. Hemachandra died in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1172 -(<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1229) at the age of 84. The king -greatly mourned his loss and marked his brow with Hemachandra’s -ashes. Such crowds came to share in the ashes of the pyre that the -ground was hollowed into a pit known as the Haima-Khadda or -Hema’s Pit.</p> -<p>Kumárapála lived to a great age. According to the -author of the Prabandhachintámaṇi he was fifty when he -succeeded to the <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb194" href="#pb194" -name="pb194">194</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Chapter II.<br> -<span class="sc">The Chaulukyas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 961–1242.</span><br> -Kumárapála, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1143–1174.</span> throne, and after ruling -about thirty-one years died in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1174 -(<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1230). He is said to have died of -<i>lúta</i> a form of leprosy. Another story given by the -Kumárapálaprabandha is that Kumárapála was -imprisoned by his nephew and successor Ajayapála. The -Kumárapálaprabandha gives the exact length of -Kumárapála’s reign at 30 years 8 months and 27 -days. If the beginning of Kumárapála’s reign is -placed at the 4th Magsar Sud Saṃvat 1299, the date of the close, -taking the year to begin in Kártika, would be Bhádrapada -Śuddha Saṃvat 1229. If with Gujarát almanacs the year -is taken to begin in Ásháḍha, the date of the close -of the reign would be Bhádrapada of Saṃvat 1230. It is -doubtful whether either Saṃvat 1229 or 1230 is the correct year, -as an inscription dated Saṃvat 1229 Vaishákha Śuddha -3rd at Udayapura near Bhilsá describes Ajayapála -Kumárapála’s successor as reigning at -Aṇahilapura.

[This tale of the self-sacrificing Bráhman or priest and -the miraculous find of water has gathered round Mahmúd as the -latest of myth centres.

To attempt to -identify Bhut Barbar or Varvar is hazardous. The name Barbar is of -great age and is spread from India to Morocco. Wilson (Works, VII. 176) -says: The analogy between Barbaras and barbarians is not in sound only. -In all Sanskrit authorities Barbaras are classed with borderers and -foreigners and nations not Hindu. According to Sir Henry Rawlinson -(Ferrier’s Caravan <span class="corr" id="xd25e20046" title="Source: Journies">Journeys</span>, 223 note) tribes of Berbers are -found all over the east. Of the age of the word Canon Rawlinson -(Herodotus, IV. 252) writes: Barbar seems to be the local name for the -early race of Accad. In India Ptolemy (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150; McCrindle’s Edn. 146) has a town -Barbarei on the Indus and the Periplus (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247; McCrindle’s Ed. 108) has a -trade-centre Barbarikon on the middle mouth of the Indus. Among Indian -writings, in the <span class="corr" id="xd25e20056" title="Source: Ramáyana">Ramáyaṇa</span> (Hall in -Wilson’s Works, VII. 176 Note *) the Barbaras appear between the -Tukháras and the Kambojas in the north: in the -Mahábhárata (Muir’s Sanskrit Texts, I. 481–2) -in one list Var-varas are entered between Sávaras and Śakas -and in another list (Wilson’s Works, VII. 176) Barbaras come -between Kiratas and Siddhas. Finally (<abbr title="Asiatic Researches">As. Res.</abbr> XV. 47 footnote) Barbara is the -northmost of the Seven Konkanas. The names Barbarei in Ptolemy and -Barbarikon in the Periplus look like some local place-name, perhaps -Bambhara, altered to a Greek form. The Hindu tribe names, from the -sameness in sound as well as from their position on the north-west -border of India, suggest the Mongol tribe Juán-Juán or -Var-Var, known to the western nations as <span class="corr" id="xd25e20064" title="Source: Avárs">Avars</span>, who drove the -Little Yuechi out of Balkh in the second half of the fourth century, -and, for about a hundred years, ruled to the north and perhaps also to -the south of the Hindu Kush. (Specht in Journal Asiatique 1883. II. -390–410; Howorth in <abbr title="Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society">Jour. R. A. S.</abbr> XXI. -721–810.) It seems probable that some of these Var-Vars passed -south either before or along with the White <span class="corr" id="xd25e20070" title="Source: Huṇas">Húṇas</span> -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 450–550). Var, under its -Mongol plural form Avarti (Howorth, Ditto 722), closely resembles -Avartiya one of the two main divisions of the Káthis of Kacch -(Mr. Erskine’s List in J. Bom. Geo. Soc. II. 59–60 for Aug. -1838). That among the forty-seven clans included under the Avartiyas -four (Nos. 30, 35, 42, and 43) are Babariyas, suggests that the -Káthis received additions from the Var-Vars at different times -and places. Dr. Bühler (<abbr title="Indian Antiquary">Ind. -Ant.</abbr> VI. 186) thinks that the Babaro or Barbar or Var-Var who -gave trouble to Siddharája represent some early local non-Aryan -tribe. The fact that they are called Rákshasas and Mlecchas and -that they stopped the ceremonies at <span class="corr" id="xd25e20080" -title="Source: Siddhpur">Sidhpur</span> north of <span class="corr" id="xd25e20083" title="Source: Anahilaváḍa">Aṇahilaváḍa</span> -seems rather to point to a foreign invasion from the north than to a -local uprising of hill tribes. Though no Musalmán invasion of -Gujarát during the reign of Siddharája is recorded a -Jesalmir legend (Forbes’ Rás Málá, I. 175) -tells how Lanja Bijirao the Bhatti prince who married -Siddharája’s daughter was hailed by his mother-in-law as -the bulwark of <span class="corr" id="xd25e20086" title="Source: Anahilaváḍa">Aṇahilaváḍa</span> -against the power of the king who grows too strong. This king may be -Báhalim the Indian viceroy of the Ghaznavid Bahrám -Sháh (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1116–1157). -Báhalim (Elliot, II. 279; Briggs’ Ferista, I. 151) -collected an army of Arabs, Persians, Afgháns, and Khiljis, -repaired the fort of Nágor in the province of Sewálik, -and committed great devastations in the territories of the independent -Indian rulers. He threw off allegiance to Ghazni and advancing to meet -Bahrám Sháh near Multán was defeated and slain. -Except that they were northerners and that Báhalim’s is -the only known invasion from the north during Siddharája’s -reign nothing has been found connecting Barbar and Báhalim. At -the same time that the Barbar or Var-Var of the Gujarát writers -may have been non-Hindu mercenaries from the north-west frontier whom -Siddharája admitted as Hindu subjects is made not unlikely by -two incidents preserved by the Muhammadan historians. The -Tárikh-i-Soráth (Bayley’s Gujarát, 35 Note -*) tells how in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1178 from the -defeated army of Shaháb-ud-din Ghori the Turkish Afghán -and Moghal women were distributed the higher class to high caste and -the commoner to low caste Hindus. Similarly how the better class of -male captives were <span class="corr" id="xd25e20096" title="Source: ad mitted">admitted</span> among Chakával and -Wadhál <span class="corr" id="xd25e20099" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span> and the lower among -Khánts, Kolis, Bábrias, and Mers. Again about thirty -years later (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1210) when his Turk -mercenaries, who were not converted to Islám, revolted against -<span class="corr" id="xd25e20105" title="Source: Shamsu-ud-din">Shams-ud-dín</span> Altamsh they seized -Delhi and built Hindu temples (Elliot, II. 237–239). These cases -seem to make it likely that among Báhalim’s mercenaries -were some un-Islamised North Indian Var-Vars and that they were -admitted into Hinduism by Siddharája and as the story states -served him as other <span class="corr" id="xd25e20108" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span>. Some of the new-comers as -noted above seem to have merged into the Káthis.

As a matter of -fact, however, the leader of the Musalmán army was Muhammad of -Ghor, and the battle took place in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1178 (H. 574). One of the two Muhammadan writers -who mentions the invasion (Muhammad ’Ufi, who wrote at Delhi -about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1211) says that Muhammad was at -first defeated, but invaded the country a second time two years later -“and punished the people for their previous misconduct.” -But this is only mentioned incidentally as part of an anecdote of -Muhammad’s equity, and there is some confusion with -Muhammad’s victory in the second battle of Náráyan -(in Jaipur territory) in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1192, as a -better, though slightly later authority, Minháj-us-Siráj, -speaks of no second expedition to Gujarát led by Muhammad -himself. Minháj-us-Siráj’s account of the defeat is -as follows (Elliott, II. 294): He (Muhammad) conducted his army by way -of Uch and Multán towards Nahrwálá. The -Ráí of Nahrwálá, Bhímdeo, was a -minor, but he had a large army and many elephants. In the day of battle -the Muhammadans were defeated and the Sultán was compelled to -retreat. This happened in the year 574 H. (1178 <span class="sc">a.d.</span>)”. Further on we read (Elliott, II. 300): -“In 593 H. (1197 <span class="sc">a.d.</span>) he -(Muhammad’s general <span class="corr" id="xd25e21536" title="Source: Kutb-ud-din">Kutb-ud-dín</span>) went towards -Nahrwálá, defeated Ráí Bhímdeo, and -took revenge on the part of the Sultán.” As no conquest of -the country is spoken of, this expedition was evidently a mere raid. -The only inaccuracy in the account is the mention of Bhíma -instead of Múlarája as the king who defeated the first -invasion.—(A.

The amount of tribute paid by the -different chiefs depended, not on the value of their territory, but on -the terms granted to them when they agreed to become feudatories of the -kings of Áhmedábád.

The revenue -consisted, as before, of a share of the crops received in kind, -supplemented by the levy of special cesses, trade, and transit dues. -The chief’s share of the crops differed according to the -locality; it rarely exceeded one-third of the produce, it rarely fell -short of one-sixth. From some parts the chief’s share was -realised directly from the cultivator by agents called <i>mantris</i>; -from other parts the collection was through superior -landowners.<a class="noteref" id="n209.1src" href="#n209.1" name="n209.1src">5</a></p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Districts.</span>The -Áhmedábád kings divided the portion of their -territory which was under their direct authority into districts or -<i>sarkárs</i>.

These posts were -in charge of officers called <i>thánadárs</i> subordinate -to the district governor. They were garrisoned by bodies of local -soldiery, for whose maintenance, in addition to money payments, a small -assignment of land was set apart in the neighbourhood of the post. On -the arrival of the tribute-collecting army the governors of the -districts through which it passed were expected to join the main body -with their local contingents. At other times the district governors had -little control over the feudatory chiefs in the neighbourhood of their -charge.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Fiscal.</span>For fiscal purposes each -district or <i>sarkár</i> was distributed among a certain number -of sub-divisions or <i>parganáhs</i>, each under a paid official -styled <i>ámil</i> or <i>tahsildár</i>. These -sub-divisional officers realised the state demand, nominally one-half -of the produce, by the help of the headmen of the villages under their -charge. In the sharehold and simple villages of North Gujarát -these village headmen were styled <i>patels</i> or according to -Musalmán writers <i>mukaddams</i> and in the simple villages of -the south they were known as <i>desáis</i>. They arranged for -the final distribution of the total demand in joint villages among the -shareholders, and in simple villages from the individual -cultivators.<a class="noteref" id="n210.1src" href="#n210.1" name="n210.1src">7</a> The sub-divisional officer presented a statement of -the accounts of the villages in his sub-division to the district -officer, whose record of the revenue of his whole district was in turn -forwarded to the head revenue officer at court. As a check on the -internal management of his charge, and especially to help him in the -work of collecting the revenue, with each district governor was -associated an accountant. Further that each of these officers might be -the greater check on the other, king Áhmed I. (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1412–1443) enforced the rule that when the -governor was chosen from among the royal slaves the accountant should -be a free man, and that when the accountant was a slave the district -governor should be chosen from some other class. This practise was -maintained till the end of the reign of Muzaffar Sháh -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1511–1525), when, according to -the Mirăt-i-Áhmedi, the army became much increased, and the -ministers, condensing the details of revenue, farmed it on contract, so -that many parts formerly yielding one rupee now produced ten, and many -others seven eight or nine, and in no place was there a less increase -than from ten to twenty per cent. Many other changes occurred at the -same time, and the spirit of innovation creeping into the -administration the wholesome system of checking the accounts was given -up and mutiny and confusion spread over Gujarát.<a class="noteref" id="n210.2src" href="#n210.2" name="n210.2src">8</a></p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Assigned Lands.</span>The second class of -directly governed districts were the lands assigned to nobles for the -maintenance of contingents of troops.

When such assignments were of long -standing, and were large enough to swallow the whole revenue of a -district, it was natural to simplify the <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb211" href="#pb211" name="pb211">211</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Introduction.<br> -<span class="sc">Under the kings</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1403–1573.<br> -Assigned Lands.</span> arrangement by transferring the collection of -the revenue and the whole management of the district to the military -leader of the contingent. So long as the central power was strong, -precautions were doubtless taken to prevent the holder of the grant -from unduly rackrenting his district and appropriating to himself more -than the pay of the troops, or from exercising any powers not vested in -the local governors of districts included within the crown domains. As -in other parts of India, those stipulations were probably enforced by -the appointment of certain civil officers directly from the government -to inspect the whole of the noble’s proceedings, as well in -managing his troops as in administering his lands.<a class="noteref" -id="n211.1src" href="#n211.1" name="n211.1src">9</a> The decline of the -king’s power freed the nobles from all check or control in the -management of their lands. And when, in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1536, the practice of farming was introduced into -the crown domains, it would seem to have been adopted by the military -leaders in their lands, and to have been continued till the annexation -of Gujarát by the emperor Akbar in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1573.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote"><span class="sc">Under the Mughals</span>, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1573–1760.</span>It was the -policy of Akbar rather to improve the existing system than to introduce -a new form of government. After to some extent contracting the limits -of Gujarát he constituted it a province or <i>sûbah</i> of -the empire, appointing to its <span class="marginnote">Administration.</span>government an officer of the highest -rank with the title of <i>sûbahdár</i> or viceroy. As was -the case under the Áhmedábád kings, the province -continued to be divided into territories managed by feudatory chiefs, -and <span class="marginnote">Crown Lands.</span>districts administered -by officers appointed either by the court of Dehli or by the local -viceroy. The head-quarters of the army remained at -Áhmedábád, and detachments were told off and -placed under the orders of the officers in charge of the directly -administered divisions. These district governors, as before, belonged -to two classes, paid officers responsible for the management of the -crown domains and military leaders in possession of lands assigned to -them in pay of their contingent of troops. The governors of the crown -domains, who were now known as <i>faujdárs</i> or commanders, -had, in addition to the command of the regular troops, the control of -the outposts maintained within the limits of their charge. Like their -predecessors they accompanied the viceroy in his yearly circuit for the -collection of tribute.</p> -<p>As a check on the military governors and to help them in collecting -the revenue, the distinct class of account officers formerly -established by king Áhmed I. (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1412–1443) was again introduced. The head -of this branch of the administration was an officer, second in rank to -the viceroy alone, appointed direct from the court of Dehli with the -title of <i>diván</i>. Besides acting as collector-general of -the revenues of the province, this officer was also the head of its -civil administration. His title <i>diván</i> is generally -translated minister. And though the word minister does not express the -functions of the office, which corresponded more nearly with those of a -chief secretary, it represents with sufficient accuracy the relation in -which the holder of the office of <i>diván</i> generally stood -to the viceroy. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb212" href="#pb212" -name="pb212">212</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Introduction.<br> -<span class="sc">Under the Mughals</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1573–1760.<br> -Revenue Officials.</span> <span class="marginnote">Revenue -Officials.</span>For its revenue administration each district or group -of districts had its revenue officials called <i>amíns</i> who -corresponded to the collector of modern times.

The news-writer, -who was sometimes also <i>bakhshi</i> or military paymaster, had a -large staff of news-writers called -<i>wákiâh-nigár</i> who worked in the district -courts and offices as well as in the city courts.

For each of these, in addition to -the English equivalent which as far as possible has been given in the -text, some explanation seems necessary. During the period to which this -history refers, the superior holders of the land of the province -belonged to two main classes, those whose claims dated from before the -Musalmán conquest and those whose interest in the land was based -on a Musalmán grant. By the Musalmán historians, -landholders of the first class, who were all Hindus, are called -<i>zamíndárs</i>, while landholders of the second class, -Musalmáns as a rule, are spoken of as -<i>jágírdárs</i>. Though the term -<i>zamíndár</i> was used to include the whole body of -superior Hindu landholders, in practice a marked distinction was drawn -between the almost independent chief, who still enjoyed his Hindu title -of <i>rája</i>, <i>rával</i>, <i>ráv</i>, or -<i>jám</i>, and the petty claimant to a share in a government -village, who in a Hindu state would have been known as a -<i>garásiá</i>.<a class="noteref" id="n215.2src" href="#n215.2" name="n215.2src">16</a></p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Hereditary Hindu Landholders.</span>The -larger landholders, who had succeeded in avoiding complete subjection, -were, as noticed above, liable only for the payment of a certain fixed -sum, the collection of which by the central power in later times -usually required the presence of a military force. With regard to the -settlement of the claims of the smaller landholders of the superior -class, whose estates fell within the limits of the directly -administered districts, no steps seem to have been taken till the reign -of Áhmed Sháh I. (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1411–1443). About the year <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1420 the peace of his kingdom was so broken by -agrarian disturbances, that Áhmed Sháh agreed, on -condition of their paying tribute and performing military service, to -re-grant to the landholders of the <i>zamíndár</i> class -as hereditary possessions a one-fourth share of their former village -lands. The portion so set apart was called <i>vánta</i> or -share, and the remainder, retained as state land, was called -<i>talpat</i>. This agreement continued till, in the year <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1545, during the reign of Mahmúd -Sháh II. (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1536–1553), an -attempt was made to annex these private shares to the crown. This -measure caused much discontent and disorder.

These levies are -known as <i>vol</i> that is a forced contribution or <i>pál</i> -that is protection. All have this peculiar characteristic that they -were paid by the cultivators of crown lands to petty marauders to -purchase immunity from their attacks. They in no case partook of the -nature of dues imposed by a settled government on its own subjects. -<i>Tora garás</i>, more correctly <i>toda garás</i>, is -another levy which had its origin in eighteenth century disorder. It -was usually a readymoney payment taken from villages which, though at -the time crown or <i>khálsa</i>, had formerly belonged to the -<i>garásia</i> who exacted the levy. Besides a readymoney -payment contributions in kind were sometimes exacted.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Service Lands.</span>The second class of -superior landholders were those whose title was based on a -Musalmán grant. Such grants were either assignments of large -tracts of land to the viceroy, district-governors, and nobles, to -support the dignity of their position and maintain a contingent of -troops, or they were allotments on a smaller scale granted in reward -for some special service. Land granted with these objects was called -<i>jágír</i>, and the holder of the land -<i>jágírdár</i>. In theory, on the death of the -original grantee, such possessions were strictly resumable; in practice -they tended to become hereditary. No regular payments were required -from holders of <i>jágírs</i>. Only under the name of -<i>peshkash</i> occasional contributions were demanded. These -occasional contributions generally consisted of such presents as a -horse, an elephant, or some other article of value. They had more of -the nature of a freewill offering than of an enforced tribute. Under -the Musalmáns contributions of this kind were the only payments -exacted from proprietors of the <i>jágírdár</i> -class. But the Maráthás, in addition to contributions, -imposed on <i>jágírdárs</i> a regular tribute, -similar to that paid by the representatives of the original class of -superior Hindu landholders.</p> -<p>Under Musalmán rule great part of Gujarát was always -in the hands of <i>jágírdárs</i>.

The survey which was entrusted to Rája -Todar Mal, the revenue minister of the empire, was completed in -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1575. The operations were confined to -a small portion of the whole area of the province. Besides the six -tributary districts which were unaffected by the measure, Godhra in the -east, the western peninsula, and a large portion of the central strip -of directly governed lands were excluded, so that of the 184 -sub-divisions only 64 were surveyed. In <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1575, of 7,261,849 acres (12,360,594 -<i>bighás</i>), the whole area measured, 4,920,818 acres -(8,374,498 <i>bighás</i>) or about two-thirds were found to be -fit for cultivation, and the remainder was waste. In those parts of the -directly governed districts where the land was not measured the -existing method of determining the government share of the produce -either by selecting a portion of the field while the crop was still -standing, or by dividing the grain heap at harvest time, was continued. -In surveyed districts the amount paid was determined by the area and -character of the land under cultivation. Payment was made either in -grain or in money, according to the instructions issued to the -revenue-collectors, ‘that when it would not prove oppressive the -value of the grain should be taken in ready money at the market -price.’<a class="noteref" id="n223.1src" href="#n223.1" name="n223.1src">31</a> The chief change in the revenue management was that, -instead of each year calculating the government share from the -character of the crop, an uniform demand was fixed to run for a term of -ten years.</p> -<p>Another important effect of this survey was to extend to cultivators -in simple villages the proprietary interest in the soil formerly -enjoyed only by the shareholders of joint villages.

It was, -perhaps, also an indirect effect of this more definite settlement of -the crown demand that the revenue agents of government and of the -holders of assigned lands, finding that the revenues could be realised -without their help, refused to allow to the heads of villages certain -revenue dues which, in return for their services, they had hitherto -enjoyed.

The star pagoda, -in which English accounts at Madras were formerly kept, weighs -52·56 grains, and was commonly valued at 8s. or <abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 4 (Prinsep as above). At this rate in the present -sum the 25 <i>lákhs</i> of <i>húns</i> would equal one -<i>kror</i> (100 <i>lákhs</i>) of rupees.

This statement of the revenues of the -kingdom is, according to the author of the Mirăt-i-Áhmedi, -taken from such times as the power of the Gujarát kings -continued to increase. The total revenue of the twenty-five districts -(£5,840,000) is the amount recovered in the year <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1571.

The Mirăt-i-Áhmedi -makes no special reference to the sovereign’s share of the -revenue.

Whatever doubt may -attach to the precise meaning of the term <i>desái</i> it seems -clear that it was as village headmen that the <i>desáis</i> -petitioned for and received this grant. These <i>desáis</i> were -the heads of villages with whom, as noticed above, the government agent -for collecting the revenue dealt, and who, agreeing for the whole -village contribution, themselves carried out the details of allotment -and collection from the individual cultivators. In the sharehold -villages north of the Narbada, the headman who would be entitled to -this 2½ per cent was the representative of the body of village -shareholders. South of the Narbada, in villages originally colonised by -officers of the state, the representatives of these officers would -enjoy the 2½ per cent. In south Gujarát the -<i>desáis</i> or heads of villages also acted as district -hereditary revenue officers; but it was not as district hereditary -revenue officers, but as heads of villages, that they received from -Akbar this 2½ per cent assignment. In north Gujarát there -were <i>desáis</i> who were only district revenue officers. -These men would seem to have received no part of Akbar’s grant in -1589–90, for as late as <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1706 -the emperor Aurangzíb, having occasion to make inquiries into -the position of the <i>desáis</i>, found that hitherto they had -been supported by cesses and illegal exactions, and ordered that a stop -should be put to all such exactions, and a fixed assignment of -2½ per cent on the revenues of the villages under their charge -should be allowed them.

In such unsettled times -it is not surprising that the European travellers of the late sixteenth -and early seventeenth centuries, between Áhmedábád -and Cambay found native merchants marching in large weekly caravans -which rested at night within a space barricaded by carts. (Kerr, IX. -127 and 201.) The English merchants, on their way from one factory to -another, were accompanied by an escort, and, in spite of their guard, -were on more than one occasion attacked by large bands of -Rájputs. (Kerr, IX. 127, 187, 201, 203.)

(Kerr, VIII. 303.) Passing from the mouth of the -Tápti to Surat Mr. Copland (24th Dec. 1613) was delighted to see -at the same time the goodliest spring and harvest he had ever seen. -‘Often of two adjoining fields, one was as green as a fine -meadow, and the other waving yellow like gold and ready to be cut down, -and all along the roads were many goodly villages.’ (Kerr, IX. -119.) At that time the state of north-east Gujarát was very -different.

The third was Khudáwand -Khán Ālím, the founder of Ālímpura a -suburb to the south of Áhmedábád, adorned with a -mosque of sandstone and marble. He introduced the cultivation of melons -figs and sugarcane into Gujarát from Bijápur.

The fifth was Tájkhán -Sálár, so loved of his peers that after his death none of -them would accept his title. The sixth was Malik Sárang -Kiwám-ul-Mulk, a Rájput by birth, the founder of the -suburb of Sárangpur and its mosque to the east of -Áhmedábád. The seventh and eighth were the -Khurásáni brothers Aâzam and Moâzzam, who -built a cistern, a mosque, and a tomb between -Áhmedábád and Sarkhej.</p> -<p>Besides Khalíl Khán, who succeeded him, Mahmúd -had three sons: Muhammad Kála, Ápá Khán, -and Áhmed Khán.

The second son Ápá -Khán was caught trespassing in a noble’s -<i>harím</i>, and was ordered by the Sultán to be -poisoned.

Varthema (1503–1508) thus describes his -manner of living: ‘The king has constantly 20,000 horsemen. In -the morning when he rises there come to his palace 50 elephants, on -each of which a man sits astride, and the said elephants do reverence -to the king, and, except this, they have nothing else to do. When the -king eats, fifty or sixty kinds of instruments, drums trumpets -flageolets and fifes play, and the elephants again do him reverence. As -for the king himself, his mustachios under his nose are so long that he -ties them over his head as a woman would tie her tresses, and he has a -white beard that reaches to his girdle. As to his food, every day he -eats poison (Hudibras’ Prince whose ‘daily food was asp and -basilisk and toad’), not that he fills his stomach with it, but -he eats a certain quantity, so that when he wishes to destroy any great -person he makes him come before him stripped and naked, and then eats -certain fruits which are called <i>chofole</i> (<i>jáiphal</i>, -nutmeg), like a muscatel nut. He also eats certain leaves called -<i>tamboli</i> (<i>pán</i> or betel leaf; like the leaves of a -sour orange, and with these he eats lime of oyster shells. When he has -chewed this well he spurts it out on the person he wishes to kill, and -so in the space of half an hour the victim falls to the ground dead. -The Sultán has also three or four thousand women, and every -night that he sleeps with one, she is found dead in the morning.’ -Barbosa (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1511) goes further -(Stanley’s Trans. 57), saying that so soaked was the king with -poison that if a fly settled on his hand it swelled and immediately -fell dead. This was the result of his early training. For, on -Varthema’s companion asking how it was that the king could eat -poison in this manner, certain merchants, who were older than the -Sultán, answered that his father had fed him upon poison from -his childhood. (Badger’s Varthema, 110.) Of the origin of -Mahmúd’s surname Begada two explanations are given: (1) -‘From his mustachios being large and twisted like a -bullock’s horn, such a bullock being called Begado; (2) that the -word comes from the Gujaráti <i>be</i>, two, and <i>gad</i>, a -fort, the people giving him this title in honour of his capture of -<span class="corr" id="xd25e25953" title="Source: Júnágaḍh">Junágaḍh</span> -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1472) and Chámpáner -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1484).’ (Bird’s History -of Gujarát, 202; Mirăt-i-Ahmedi Persian Text, 74.) -Varthema’s account of the poison-eating is probably an -exaggeration of the Sultán’s habit of opium-eating to -which from his infancy he was addicted. The Mirăt-i-Sikandari -(Persian Text, 751) speaks of the great physical power of Mahmúd -and of his wonderful appetite. Mahmúd’s daily food weighed -forty <i>sers</i> the ser being 15 <i>bahlulis</i> a little over half a -pound. He used to eat about three pounds (5 <i>sers</i>) of parched -gram to dessert. For breakfast, after his morning prayer, Mahmúd -used to consume a cupfull of pure Makkah honey with a second cupfull of -clarified butter and fifty small plantains called <i>sohan kelas</i>. -At night they set by his bed two plates of -<i>sambúsás</i> or minced mutton sausages. In the morning -Mahmúd seeing the empty plates used to give thanks: ‘Oh -Allah,’ he said, ‘hadst thou not given this unworthy slave -rule over Gujarát, who could have filled his stomach.’ His -virile powers were as unusual as his appetite. The only woman who could -bear his embraces unharmed was a powerful Abyssinian girl who was his -great favourite. Of the wealth and weapons kept in store the -Mirăt-i-Sikandari gives the following details regarding the great -expedition against <span class="corr" id="xd25e25978" title="Source: Júnágaḍh">Junágaḍh</span> -(Persian Text, 94): The Sultán ordered the treasurer to send -with the army gold coins worth five <i>krors</i>, 1700 Egyptian -Allemand Moorish and Khurásáni swords with gold handles -weighing 2½ to 3 pounds (4–5 <i>sers</i>), 1700 daggers -and poignards with gold handles weighing 1 to 1½ pounds -(2–3 <i>sers</i>), and 2000 Arab and Turki horses with -gold-embroidered housings.

Áli -Muhammad Khán, the author of the Mirăt-i-Áhmedi, who -about this time was raised in rank with the title of Bahádur, -states that owing to the Marátha inroads most of the districts -had passed entirely into their possession; in others according to -agreements with Jawán Mard Khán they held a half share. -Consequently in spite of new taxes, the entire remaining income of the -province was only four <i>lákhs</i> of rupees, and it was -impossible to maintain the military posts or control the rebellious -Kolis.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Peshwa and Gáikwár, -1751.</span>It was in this year (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1751) that the Peshwa, decoying -Dámájiráv into his power, imprisoned him and -forced him to surrender half of his rights and conquests in -Gujarát. Taking advantage of the absence of the -Gáikwár and his army in the Dakhan, Jawán Mard -Khán marched into Sorath.

In the same year -Raghunáthráv, brother of the Peshwa, entering -Gujarát took possession of the Rewa and Mahi Kántha -districts and marched on Surat.

In honour of this victory the -Khán Khánán built, on the site of the battle, a -palace and garden enclosing all with a high wall. This which he named -Jítpur the City of Victory was one of the chief ornaments of -Áhmedábád. In November 1613 the English merchant -Wittington writes (Kerr’s Voyages, IX. 127): A <i>kos</i> from -Sarkhej is a pleasant house with a large garden all round on the banks -of the river which Chon-Chin-Naw (Khán Khánán) -built in honour of a great victory over the last king of -Gujarát. No person inhabits the house. Two years later (1615) -another English merchant Dodsworth (Kerr, IX. 203) describes the field -of Victory as strongly walled all round with brick about 1½ -miles in circuit all planted with fruit trees and delightfully watered -having a costly house called by a name signifying Victory in which -Khán Khánán for some time resided. In 1618, the -emperor Jehángír (Memoirs Persian Text, 210–213) on -his way to Sarkhej visited the -Khán-i-Khánán’s Bághi Fateh or Garden -of Victory which he had built at a cost of two <i>lákhs</i> of -rupees ornamenting the garden with buildings and surrounding it with a -wall. The natives he notices call it Fateh-Wádi. In 1626 the -English traveller Herbert (Travels, 66) writes: Two miles nearer -Áhmedábád than Sirkhej are the curious gardens and -palace of Khán Khánán where he defeated the last -of the Cambay kings and in memory built a stately house and spacious -gardens the view whereof worthily attracts the traveller. Mandelslo -writing in 1638 is still louder in praise of Tschietbág the -Garden of Victory. It is the largest and most beautiful garden in all -India because of its splendid buildings and abundance of fine fruits. -Its site is one of the pleasantest in the world on the border of a -great tank having on the water side many pavilions and a high wall on -the side of Áhmedábád. The lodge and the -caravanserai are worthy of the prince who built them. The garden has -many fruit trees oranges, citrons, pomegranates, dates, almonds, -mulberries, tamarinds, mangoes, and cocoanuts so closely planted that -all walking in the garden is under most pleasing shade -(Mandelslo’s Travels, French Ed. 111–112). When -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1750) the Mirăt-i-Áhmedi -was written several of the buildings and the remains of the summer -house were still to be seen (Bird’s History of Gujarát, -375).

Of none -are the public appearances so magnificent. He never goes out without a -great number of gentlemen and guards on foot and horse. Before him -march many elephants with housings of brocade and velvet, standards, -drums, trumpets, and cymbals. In his palace he is served like a king -and suffers no one to appear before him unless he has asked an -audience. (Travels, French Edition, 151.) Of the general system of -government be says: The viceroy is absolute. It is true he summons -leading lords of the country to deliberate on judgments and important -matters. But they are called to ascertain their views not to adopt -them. On the one hand the king often changes his governors that they -may not grow overpowerful. On the other hand the governors knowing they -may be recalled at any time take immense sums from the rich merchants -especially from the merchants of Áhmedábád against -whom false charges are brought with the view of forcing them to pay. As -the governor is both civil and criminal judge if the merchants did not -temper his greed they would be ruined beyond remedy. (Ditto, 150.) The -frequent changes of viceroys in Gujarát is explained by Terry, -1615–17 (Voyage to East Indies, 364): To prevent them from -becoming popular the king usually removes his viceroys after one year -sending them to a new government remote from the old one. Terry adds a -curious note: When the king sends any one to a place of government they -never cut their hair till they return into his presence as if they -desired not to appear beautiful except in the king’s sight. As -soon as he sees them the king bids them cut their hair (Ditto, 365). It -does not seem to have been cheating to keep up fewer horse than the -number named. Terry (Voyage to East Indies, 391) says: He who hath the -pay of five or six thousand must always have one thousand or more in -readiness according to the king’s need of them, and so in -proportion all the rest. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n279.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n280.1" -href="#n280.1src" name="n280.1">33</a></span> -Mirăt-i-Áhmedi Persian Text, II. 46–47. -Pinjárás are cotton teasers, Mansúris are -Pinjárás who worship Mansúr a tenth century (3rd -century <i>Hijrah</i>) saint. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n280.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n280.2" -href="#n280.2src" name="n280.2">34</a></span> -Mirăt-i-Áhmedi Persian Text, 237. <a class="fnarrow" -href="#n280.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n281.1" -href="#n281.1src" name="n281.1">35</a></span> Jhábua, now under -the Bhopáwar Agency. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n281.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n281.2" -href="#n281.2src" name="n281.2">36</a></span> -Mirăt-i-Áhmedi Persian Text, 249. <a class="fnarrow" -href="#n281.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n284.1" -href="#n284.1src" name="n284.1">37</a></span> -Mirăt-i-Áhmedi, Persian Text, 274, 279. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n284.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n284.2" -href="#n284.2src" name="n284.2">38</a></span> Ráygad (north -latitude 18° 14′; east longitude 73° 30′), the name -given in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1662 to Rairi, a hill -fortress in the Mahád sub-division of the Kolába -collectorate. <span class="corr" id="xd25e28467" title="Source: Shívaji">Shiváji</span> took the place and made -it his capital in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1662. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n284.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n285.1" -href="#n285.1src" name="n285.1">39</a></span> Janjira (north latitude -17° 59′ to 18° 32′) that is <i>Jazírah</i> -the Island, on the western coast, about forty-four miles south of -Bombay. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n285.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n285.2" -href="#n285.2src" name="n285.2">40</a></span> Another post of -Islámábád was at Punádra in the -<i>parganah</i> of Ázamábád on the Wátrak -about twenty-one miles east-south-east of -Áhmedábád.

This boy who was -about nine years old died. Malik Seif-ud-dín ran to -Sháh-i-Álam, who used then to live at Asáwal, two -or three miles east of Áhmedábád, and in a -transport of grief and rage said to the Saint: ‘Is this the way -you deceive people? Surely you obtained me the gift of that boy to live -and not to die? This I suppose is how you will keep your promise of -mediating for our sinful souls before Alláh also?’ The -Saint could give no reply and retired to his inner apartments. The -stricken father went to the Saint’s son Sháh -Bhíkan, who, going in to his father, entreated him to restore -the Malik’s boy to life. The Saint asked his son ‘Are you -prepared to die for the boy?’ Sháh Bhíkan said -‘I am ready.’ The Saint, going into an inner room, spread -his skirts before Alláh crying ‘Rájanji,’ a -pet name by which the Saint used to address Alláh, meaning Dear -King or Lord, ‘Rájanji, here is a goat for a goat; take -thou this one and return the other.’ Lamentations in the -Saint’s harem showed that half of the prayer was granted and the -Malik on returning to his house found the other half -fulfilled. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n336.1src">↑</a></p> -</div> -</div> -</div> -<div id="app3.1" class="div1 appendix"><span class="pagenum">[<a href="#xd25e2721">Contents</a>]</span> -<div class="divHead"> -<h2 class="label">APPENDIX I.</h2> -<h2 class="main">The Death of Sultán Bahádur, -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1526–1536.<a class="noteref" -id="n347.1src" href="#n347.1" name="n347.1src">1</a></h2> -</div> -<div class="divBody"> -<p class="first"><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix I.<br> -The Death of Sultán Bahádur, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1526–1536.</span> <span class="sc">Colonel -Briggs</span> (Muhammadan Power in India, IV. 132) gives the following -summary of the events which led to the fatal meeting of Sultán -Bahádur and the Portuguese viceroy Nono da Cunha in the -beginning of 1536–37:</p> -<p>When in 1529 Nono daCunha came as viceroy to India he held -instructions to make himself master of the island of Diu. In the -following year a great expedition, consisting of 400 vessels and 15,600 -men, met in Bombay and sailed to the -Káthiáváḍa coast. After vigorous assaults it -was repulsed off Diu on the 17th February 1531. From that day the -Portuguese made ceaseless efforts to obtain a footing on the island of -Diu. In 1531 besides harrying the sea trade of Gujarát the -Portuguese sacked the towns of Tárápur, Balsár, -and Surat, and, to give colour to their pretensions, received under -their protection Chánd Khán an illegitimate brother of -Bahádur. In 1532, under James de Silveira, the Portuguese burned -the south Káthiáváḍa ports of -Pattan-Somnáth, Mangrul, Talája, and -Muzaffarábád, killing many of the people and carrying off -4000 as slaves. Shortly after the Portuguese took and destroyed Bassein -in Thána obtaining 400 cannon and much ammunition. They also -burned Daman, Thána, and Bombay. “All this” says the -Portuguese historian “they did to straiten Diu and to oblige the -king of Gujarát to consent to their raising a fort on the island -of Diu.” When Bahádur was engaged with the Mughals -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1532–1534) the Portuguese -Governor General deputed an embassy to wait on Humáyún to -endeavour to obtain from him the cession of Diu, hoping by this action -to work indirectly on the fears of Bahádur. At last in 1534 -Bahádur consented to a peace by which he agreed to cede the town -of Bassein to Portugal; not to construct ships of war in his ports; and -not to combine with Turkish fleets against Portugal.</p> -<p>Permission was also given to the Portuguese to build in Diu. In -consideration of these terms the Portuguese agreed to furnish -Bahádur with 500 Europeans of whom fifty were men of note. -According to the Portuguese historian it was solely because of this -Portuguese help that Bahádur succeeded in driving the Mughals -out of Gujarát. Bahádur’s cession of land in Diu to -the Portuguese was for the purpose of building a mercantile factory. -From the moment Bahádur discovered they had raised formidable -fortifications, especially when by the withdrawal of the Mughals he no -longer had any motive for keeping on terms with them, he resolved to -wrest the fort out of the hands of the Portuguese. On the plea of -separating the natives from the Europeans, Bahádur instructed -his governor of Diu to build a wall with a rampart capable of being -mounted with guns. But as this created much dispute and ill-will the -rampart was given up. Bahádur next attempted to seize Emanuel de -Souza the captain of Diu fort. With this object he invited DeSouza to -his camp. DeSouza was warned but determined to accept -Bahádur’s invitation. He went attended by only one -servant, an act of courage which <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb348" -href="#pb348" name="pb348">348</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix I.<br> -The Death of Sultán Bahádur, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1526–1536.</span> Bahádur so greatly -admired that he treated him with honour and allowed him to return in -safety. Bahádur next schemed to secure DeSouza in the fort by -surprise. With this end he began to pay the Portuguese officers visits -at all hours. But DeSouza was always on his guard and -Bahádur’s surprise visits failed to give him an -opportunity. In 1536 DeSouza wrote to the viceroy complaining of the -bad feeling of the Gujarát Moors towards the Portuguese in Diu -and of the efforts of the king to drive them out of the fort. In -consequence of DeSouza’s letter Nono daCunha the viceroy arrived -at Diu early in 1536–7. Bahádur went to visit the viceroy -on board the viceroy’s ship. On his return he was attacked and -leaping into the water was killed by a blow on the head and sank.</p> -<p>Of the unplanned and confused circumstances in which the brave -Bahádur met his death four Musalmán and four Portuguese -versions remain. The author of the Mirăt-i-Sikandari (Persian -Text, 280–281) states that the Portuguese, who offered their help -to Bahádur in the days of his defeat by the emperor -Humáyún, obtained from him the grant of land at Diu, and -on this land built a fort. After the re-establishment of his power the -Sultán, who had no longer any need of their help, kept -constantly planning some means of ousting the Portuguese from Diu. With -this object Bahádur came to Diu and opened negotiations with the -Portuguese viceroy, hoping in the end to get the viceroy into his -power. The viceroy knowing that Bahádur regretted the -concessions he had made to them was too wary to place himself in -Bahádur’s hands. To inspire confidence Bahádur, -with five or six of his nobles all unarmed, paid the viceroy a visit on -board his ship. Suspecting foul play from the behaviour of the -Portuguese the king rose to retire, but the Portuguese pressed upon him -on all sides. He had nearly reached his boat when one of the Portuguese -struck him a blow with a sword, killed him, and threw his body -overboard.</p> -<p>The same author gives a second version which he says is more -generally received and is probably more accurate. According to this -account the Portuguese had come to know that Bahádur had invited -the Sultáns of the Dakhan to co-operate with him in driving the -Portuguese from the Gujarát, Konkan, and Dakhan ports. That the -Portuguese viceroy had come with 150 ships and had anchored at Diu off -the chain bastion. That Sultán Bahádur not suspecting -that the Portuguese were aware of his insincerity went in a barge to -see the fleet, and when he got in the midst of their ships, the -Portuguese surrounded his barge and killed him with lances.</p> -<p>According to Farishtah (II. 442, 443, <abbr title="Persian">Pers.</abbr> Text) on the invasion of Gujarát by the -emperor Humáyún, Sultán Bahádur had asked -help of the Portuguese. When his power was re-established, -Bahádur, hearing of the arrival of between five and six thousand -Portuguese at Diu, feared they would take possession of that port. He -therefore hastened to Diu from <span class="corr" id="xd25e31623" -title="Source: Júnágaḍh">Junágaḍh</span>. -The Portuguese who were aware that Humáyún had withdrawn -and that Bahádur had re-established his power, preferred to -attempt to gain Diu by stratagem rather than by force. Bahádur -asked the viceroy to visit him. The viceroy feigned sickness and -Bahádur with the object of proving his goodwill offered to visit -the viceroy on board his ship. On leaving the viceroy’s ship to -enter his own barge the Portuguese suddenly moved their vessel and -Bahádur fell overboard. While in the water a Portuguese struck -the king with a lance and killed him. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb349" href="#pb349" name="pb349">349</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix I.<br> -The Death of Sultán Bahádur, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1526–1536.</span> Abul Fazl’s account -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1590 (Akbarnámah in Elliot, -VI. 18) seems more natural and in better keeping with -Bahádur’s impetuous vigour and bravery than either the -Gujarát or Farishtah’s narratives. The Portuguese chief -was apprehensive that as the Sultán was no longer in want of -assistance he meditated treachery. So he sent to inform the -Sultán that he had come as requested, but that he was ill and -unable to go on shore, so that the interview must be deferred till he -got better. The Sultán, quitting the royal road of safety, -embarked on the 12th February 1536 (3rd Ramazan H. 943) with a small -escort to visit the viceroy on board the viceroy’s ship. As soon -as Bahádur reached the vessel he found the viceroy’s -sickness was a pretence and regretted that he had come. He at once -sought to return. But the Portuguese were unwilling that such a prey -should escape them and hoped that by keeping him prisoner they might -get more ports. The viceroy came forward and asked the Sultán to -stay a little and examine some curiosities he had to present. The -Sultán replied that the curiosities might be sent after him and -turned quickly towards his own boat. A European <i>kázi</i> or -priest placed himself in the Sultán’s way and bade him -stop. The Sultán, in exasperation, drew his sword and cleft the -priest in twain. He then leaped into his own boat. The Portuguese -vessels drew round the Sultán’s boat and a fight began. -The Sultán and Rúmi Khán threw themselves into the -water. A friend among the Portuguese stretched a hand to Rúmi -Khán and saved him: the Sultán was drowned in the -waves.</p> -<p>Of the four Portuguese versions of Bahádur’s death the -first appears in Correa’s (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1512–1550) Lendas Da Asia, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1497 to 1550; the second in DeBarros’ (died -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1570) Decadas, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1497 to 1539; the third in Do Couto’s (died -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1600 ?) continuation of -DeBarros, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1529 to 1600; and the -fourth in Faria-e-Souza’s (died <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1650) Portuguese Asia to <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1640. A fifth reference to Bahádur’s -death will be found in Castaneda’s <span lang="pt">Historia</span> which extends to <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1538.</p> -<p>As Correa was in India from <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1512 -till his death in Goa in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1550, and as -his narrative which was never published till <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1856–64 has the highest reputation for -accuracy of detail his version carries special weight. According to -Correa (<span lang="pt">Lendas Da Asia</span>, Vol. III. <abbr title="Chapter">Chap.</abbr> XCV.) during the monsoon of 1536, Nono DaCunha -the viceroy received by land a letter from Manoel deSouza the captain -of Diu fort, telling him of the discontent of the Gujarát Moors -with king Bahádur for allowing the Portuguese to build a fort at -Diu. In consequence of this information early in the fair season Nono -daCunha sailed from Goa in his own galleon accompanied by about ten -small vessels <i>fustas</i> and <i>katurs</i> under the command of -Antonio deSylveira. Nono reached Diu about the end of December. King -Bahádur was glad that the viceroy should come to Diu almost -alone since it seemed to show he was not aware of -Bahádur’s designs against the Portuguese. When -Bahádur arrived at Diu he sent a message to the viceroy inviting -him to come ashore to meet him as he had important business to -transact. The king’s messenger found the viceroy ill in bed, and -brought back a message that the viceroy would come ashore to meet the -king in the evening. Immediately after the king’s messenger left, -Manoel deSouza, the captain of Diu fort, came on board to see the -viceroy. The viceroy told Manoel to go and thank the king and to return -his visit. The king expressed his grief at the viceroy’s illness -and proposed to start at once to see him. He went to his barge and -rowed straight to the viceroy’s <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb350" href="#pb350" name="pb350">350</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix I.<br> -The Death of Sultán Bahádur, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1526–1536.</span> galleon. The king had -with him, besides the interpreter St. Jago, seven men and two pages one -carrying a sword and the other a bow. The captain of the fort and some -other officers in their own barges followed the king. Bahádur, -who was the first to arrive, came so speedily that the viceroy had -hardly time to make preparations to receive him. He put on heavy -clothes to show he was suffering from ague and ordered all the officers -to be well armed. When Bahádur came on board he saw the men busy -with their weapons but showed no signs that he suspected foul play. He -went straight to the viceroy’s cabin. The viceroy tried to get up -but Bahádur prevented him, asked how he was, and returned at -once to the deck. As Bahádur stood on the deck the captain of -the fort boarded the galleon, and, as he passed to the cabin to see the -viceroy, Bahádur laughingly upbraided him with being behind -time. Then without taking leave of the viceroy Bahádur went to -his barge. When the viceroy learned that the king had left he told the -captain to follow the king and to take him to the fort and keep him -there till the viceroy saw him. The captain rowed after the king who -was already well ahead. He called to the king asking him to wait. The -king waited. When the captain came close to the king’s barge he -asked the king to come into his vessel. But the interpreter without -referring to the king replied that the captain should come into the -king’s barge. DeSouza ordered his boat alongside. His barge -struck the king’s barge and DeSouza who was standing on the poop -tripped and fell into the water. The rowers of the royal barge picked -him out and placed him near the king who laughed at his wet clothes. -Other Portuguese barges whose officers thought the Moors were fighting -with the captain began to gather. The first to arrive was Antonio -Cardoza. When Cardoza came up the interpreter told the king to make for -land with all speed as the Portuguese seemed to be coming to seize and -kill him. The king gave the order to make for the shore. He also told -the page to shoot the hollow arrow whose whistling noise was a danger -signal. When the Moors in the king’s barge heard the whistle they -attacked Manoel deSouza, who fell dead into the sea. Then Diogo de -Mesquita, D’Almeida, and Antonio Correa forced their way on to -the king’s barge. When the king saw them he unsheathed his sword -and the page shot an arrow and killed Antonio Cardoza, who fell -overboard and was drowned. D’Almeida was killed by a sword-cut -from a Moor called Tiger and Tiger was killed by Correa. At that moment -Diogo de Mesquita gave the king a slight sword-cut and the king jumped -into the sea. After the king, the interpreter and Rúmi -Khán, two Moors, and all the rowers leapt into the water. The -Portuguese barges surrounded them and the men struck at the three -swimmers with lances and oars. The king twice cried aloud ‘I am -Sultán Bahádur,’ hoping that some one would help -him. A man who did not know that he was the king struck Bahádur -on the head with a club. The blow was fatal and Bahádur sank. -The second version is given by Barros (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1560) in his Decadas da Asia, Vol. V. page 357 of -the 1707 edition. The third version by Do Couto (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1600) in his continuation of Barros’ -Decadas, and the fourth by Faria-e-Souza (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1650) in his Portuguese Asia are in the main -taken from De Barros. The following details are from Steevens’ -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1697) translation of Faria given in -Briggs’ Muhammadan Power in India, IV. 135–138.</p> -<p>Bahádur king of Cambay, who had recovered his kingdom solely -by the assistance of the Portuguese, now studied their ruin, and -repenting of the leave he had granted to build a fort at Diu -endeavoured to <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb351" href="#pb351" name="pb351">351</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix I.<br> -The Death of Sultán Bahádur, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1526–1536.</span> take it and to kill the -commander and the garrison. Nono da Cunha the Portuguese viceroy -understood his designs and prepared to prevent them. Emanuel deSouza -who commanded at Diu was warned by a Moor that the king would send for -him by a certain Moor and kill him. DeSouza determined to go, and, when -sent for, appeared with only one servant. Admiring DeSouza’s -courage the king treated him honourably and allowed him to return in -safety. The king’s mother tried to dissuade her son from plotting -against DeSouza but to no effect. To remove suspicion Bahádur -began to pay the Portuguese officers visits at unseasonable hours, but -was ever received by DeSouza on his guard. Meanwhile, on the 9th -January 1536, Nono daCunha the Portuguese viceroy set out from Goa for -Diu with 300 sail. When he put in at Cheul he found -Nizám-ul-Mulk who pretended he had come to divert his women at -sea but really with designs on that place. When Nono reached Diu the -king was hunting in the mountains and Nono apprised him of his arrival. -The king sent for him by a Portuguese apostate of the name of John de -St. Jago called Firangi Khán, but Nono daCunha pleaded illness. -The king pretending great friendship came to Diu accompanied by Emanuel -deSouza, who had brought the last message from DaCunha. At Diu the king -went on board the viceroy’s ship and for a time they discoursed. -The king was troubled at a page whispering something to DaCunha, but as -DaCunha took no notice his suspicions were allayed. The message was -from DeSouza, stating that the captains whom he had summoned were -awaiting orders to secure or kill the king. DaCunha thought it strange -that DeSouza had not killed the king while he was in his power in the -fort; and DeSouza thought it strange that DaCunha did not now seize the -king when he was in his power in the ship. DaCunha directed all the -officers to escort the king to the palace and then accompany DeSouza to -the fort, where DaCunha intended to seize the king when he came to -visit him. The king on his part had resolved to seize DaCunha at a -dinner to which he had invited him and send him in a cage to the Great -Turk. De Souza who was going to invite the king to the fort after -DaCunha had entered it, came up with the king’s barge and -delivered his invitation through Rúmi Khán. Rúmi -Khán warned the king not to accept it. The king disregarding -this warning invited DeSouza into his barge. While stepping into the -king’s barge DeSouza fell overboard, but was picked up by -officers who carried him to the king. At this time three Portuguese -barges came up and some of the officers seeing DeSouza hastily enter -the king’s barge drew close to the king’s barge. The king -remembering Rúmi Khán’s warning ordered Emanuel -deSouza to be killed. James <span class="corr" id="xd25e31745" title="Source: deMesquita">de Mesquita</span> understanding the order flew at -and wounded the king.

The -hill-top is three to four miles from north to south and four to five -miles from east to west. On the north, the east, and the west, -Mándu is islanded from the main plateau of Málwa by -valleys and ravines that circle round to its southern face, which -stands 1200 feet out of the Nímár plain. The area of the -hill-top is over 12,000 English acres, and, so broken is its outline, -that the encircling wall is said to have a length of between -thirty-seven and thirty-eight miles. Its height, 1950 feet above the -sea, secures for the hill-top at all seasons the boon of fresh and cool -air.</p> -<p>About twenty miles south of Dhár the level cultivated plateau -breaks into woody glades and uplands. Two miles further the plain is -cleft by two great ravines, which from their deeper and broader -southern mouths 700 to 800 feet below the Dhár plateau, as they -wind northwards, narrow and rise, till, to the north of Mándu -hill, they shallow into a woody dip or valley about 300 yards broad and -200 feet below the south crest of Málwa. From the south crest of -the Málwa plateau, across the tree tops of this wild valley, -stand the cliffs of the island Mándu, their crests crowned by -the great Dehli gateway and its long lofty line of flanking walls. At -the foot of the sudden dip into the valley the Âlamgír or -World-Guarding Gate stands sentinel.<a class="noteref" id="n352.1src" -href="#n352.1" name="n352.1src">1</a> Beyond the gateway, among wild -reaches of rock and forest, a noble causeway with high domed tombs on -either hand fills the lowest dip of the valley. From the south end of -the causeway the road winds up to a second gateway, and beyond the -second gateway between side walls climbs till at the crest of the slope -it passes through the ruined but still lofty and beautiful Dehli or -northern gateway, one of the earliest works of Diláwar -Khán (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1400), the founder of -Musalmán Mándu.</p> -<p>Close inside of the Dehli gate, on the right or west, stands the -handsome Hindola Palace. The name Hindola, which is probably the title -of the builder, is explained by the people as the Swingcot palace, -because, like the sides of the cage of a swinging cot, the walls of the -hall bulge <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb353" href="#pb353" name="pb353">353</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix II.<br> -The Hill Fort of Mándu.<br> -<i><span class="sc">Description.</span></i></span> below and narrow -towards the top. Its great baronial hall and hanging windows give the -Hindola palace a special merit and interest, and an air of lordly -wealth and luxury still clings to the tree-covered ruins which stretch -west to large underground cisterns and hot weather retreats. About a -quarter of a mile south stand the notable group of the Jaház -Mehel or Ship palace on the west, and the Tapela Mehel or Caldron -palace on the south, with their rows of lofty pointed arches below deep -stone caves, their heavy windowless upper stories, and their massive -arched and domed roof chambers. These palaces are not more handsomely -built than finely set. The massive ship-like length of the Jaház -Mehel lies between two large tree-girt ponds, and the Tapela, across a -beautiful foreground of water and ruin, looks east into the mass of -tangled bush and tree which once formed part of the 130 acres of the -Lál Bágh or Royal Gardens.</p> -<p>The flat palace roofs command the whole 12,000 acres of Mándu -hill, north to the knolls and broken uplands beyond the great -ravine-moat and south across the waving hill-top with its miles of -glades and ridges, its scattered villages hamlets and tombs, and its -gleaming groves of mangoes, <i>khirnis</i>, banyans, <i>mhowras</i>, -and <i>pipals</i>. In the middle distance, out from the tree-tops, -stand the lofty domes of Hoshang’s tomb and of the great -Jámá mosque. Further south lies the tree-girt hollow of -the Ságar Taláv or Sea Lake, and beyond the Ságar -lake a woody plateau rises about 200 feet to the southern crest, where, -clear against the sky, stand the airy cupolas of the pavilion of -Rúp Mati, the beautiful wife of Báz Bahádur -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1551–1561), the last -Sultán of Málwa. Finally to the west, from the end of the -Rúp Mati heights, rises even higher the bare nearly isolated -shoulder of Songad, the citadel or inner fort of Mándu, the -scene of the Gujarát Bahádur’s (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1531) daring and successful surprise. This fair -hill-top, beautiful from its tangled wildness and scattered ruins, is a -strange contrast to Mándu, the capital of a warlike independent -dynasty. During the palmy days of the fifteenth century, of the 12,000 -acres of the Mándu hill-top, 560 were fields, 370 were gardens, -200 were wells, 780 were lakes and ponds, 100 were bazár roads, -1500 were dwellings, 200 were rest-houses, 260 were baths, 470 were -mosques, and 334 were palaces. These allotments crowded out the wild to -a narrow pittance of 1560 acres of knolls and ridges.</p> -<p>From the Jaház Mehel the road winds through fields and woods, -gemmed with peafowl and droll with monkeys, among scattered palaces -mosques and tombs, some shapely some in heaps, about a mile south to -the walled enclosure of the lofty domed tomb of the establisher of -Mándu’s greatness, Hoshang Sháh Ghori (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1405–1432). Though the badly-fitted -joinings of the marble slabs of the tomb walls are a notable contrast -to the finish of the later Mughal buildings, Hoshang’s tomb, in -its massive simplicity and dim-lighted roughness, is a solemn and -suitable resting-place for a great Pathán warrior. Along the -west of the tomb enclosure runs a handsome flat-roofed colonnade. The -pillars, which near the base are four-sided, pass through an -eight-sided and a sixteen-sided belt into a round upper shaft. The -round shaft ends in a square under-capital, each face of which is -filled by a group of leafage in outline the same as the favourite Hindu -<i>Singh-múkh</i> or horned face. Over the entwined leafy horns -of this moulding, stone brackets support heavy stone beams, all Hindu -in pattern.<a class="noteref" id="n353.1src" href="#n353.1" name="n353.1src">2</a> Close to the east of Hoshang’s tomb is -Hoshang’s <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb354" href="#pb354" -name="pb354">354</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix II.<br> -The Hill Fort of Mándu.<br> -<i><span class="sc">Description.</span></i></span> Jámá -Masjid or Great Mosque, built of blocks of red limestone. -Hoshang’s mosque is approached from the east through a massive -domed gateway and across a quadrangle enclosed on the east north and -south by wrecked colonnades of pointed arches.

About fifty yards -further east are the ruins of a great building called the Ashrafi -Mehel, said to have been a Musalmán college. To the north-east a -banner marks a temple and the local state offices. South the road -passes between the two lines of small houses and huts that make modern -Mándu. Beyond the village, among ruins and huge swollen baobab -stems, the road winds south along a downward slope to the richly-wooded -lowland, where stretches to the west the wide coolness of the -Ságar Taláv or Sea lake. Its broad surface covering 600 -acres is green with fanlike lotus leaves, reeds, and water-grasses. Its -banks are rough with brakes of tangled bush from which, in uncramped -stateliness, rise lofty <i>mhauras</i>, mangoes, <i>kirnis</i>, and -<i>pípals</i>.

From the north-east corner of the -Rewa Pool a broad flight of easy stairs leads thirty or forty feet up -the slope on whose top stands the palace of Báz Bahádur -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1551–1561) the last -independent chief of Mándu.<a class="noteref" id="n355.2src" -href="#n355.2" name="n355.2src">5</a> The broad easy flight of steps -ends in a lofty arched gateway through which a roomy hall or passage -gives entrance into a courtyard with a central masonry cistern and an -enclosing double colonnade, which on the right opens into an arched -balcony overlooking the Rewa Kund and garden.

From a ground floor -of heavy masonry walls and arched gateways stairs lead to a flat -masonry terrace. At the north and south ends of the terrace stand -massive heavy-eaved pavilions, whose square pillars and pointed arches -support lofty deep-grooved domes. The south pavilion on the crest of -the Vindhyan cliff commands a long stretch of the south face of -Mándu with its guardian wall crowning the heights and hollows of -the hill-top.

About an -hour (three <i>ghadis</i>) later I entered the quarters which had been -prepared to receive me. During my passage across the hill-top I -scattered <abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 1500. Before my arrival Abdul -Karím the engineer had been sent by me to repair the buildings -of the former kings of Mándu. While my fortunate standards were -at Ajmír Abdul Karím repaired such of the old -Mándu buildings as were fit to be repaired and built others -anew.

I wish it had been possible to construct buildings like -these in all cities likely to be visited by royalty. This fortress, he -continues, stands on the top of a hill about thirty-six miles (18 -<i>kos</i>) in circumference. They say that before the days of -Rája Bikramájit a king was reigning over these parts -<span class="corr" id="xd25e33625" title="Source: who">whose</span> -name was Jaisingh Deva. In his time a man went to the forest to cut -grass. When he brought the grass back he found that the blade of his -sickle had turned yellow. The grasscutter in his surprise went to -Mándan, an ironsmith. Mándan knew that the sickle was -gold. He had heard that in those parts was to be found the -philosopher’s stone, whose touch turns iron and copper into gold. -He told the grasscutter to lead him to the place where the sickle had -turned yellow, and there he found the philosopher’s stone. The -smith presented this treasure to his king. The king amassed untold -wealth, part of which he spent in building Mándu fortress which -he completed in twelve years. At the request of the smith on most of -the stones in the walls a mark was cut in the form of an anvil. Towards -the close of his life, when king Jaisingh Deva withdrew his heart from -the world, he called many Bráhmans together on the bank of the -Narbada close to Mándu. He gave each Bráhman a share of -his wealth. And to the Bráhman in whom he had the greatest faith -he gave the philosopher’s stone. Enraged at the gift of a paltry -stone the Bráhman threw it into the Narbada, and there the -philosopher’s stone still lies. The emperor continues: On the -20th of <i>Farwardín</i>, five weeks after my arrival (11th -April 1617) in reward for his services in repairing the buildings of -Mándu, I conferred on my engineer Abdul Karím the command -of 1200 horse, with the title of Maámúr Khán.</p> -<p>Mándu had for the emperor the strong attraction of abundance -of game.

When the lion broke cover he -attacked and wounded ten or twelve of the -<i>Ahádís</i><a class="noteref" id="n373.1src" href="#n373.1" name="n373.1src">106</a> and other men of my retinue. In the -end I brought him down with three gun shots and saved God’s -creatures from his evil. On the 22nd of the same month (April 3rd, -1617) the watchmen brought news of a tiger. I mounted forthwith and -despatched him with three bullets. On the 7th of <i>Ardí -Bihisht</i> (April 18th, 1617) the watchmen brought word that they had -marked down four tigers.

Núr Jehán asked -my leave to shoot the tigers with her gun. I said “Be it -so.” In a trice she killed these four tigers with six bullets. I -had never seen such shooting. To shoot from the back of an elephant -from within a closed <i>howdah</i> and bring down with six bullets four -wild beasts without giving them an opportunity of moving or springing -is wonderful. In acknowledgment of this capital marksmanship I ordered -a thousand <i>ashrafis</i> (<abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 4500) to be -scattered<a class="noteref" id="n374.1src" href="#n374.1" name="n374.1src">107</a> over Núr Jehán and granted her a pair -of ruby wristlets worth a lákh of rupees.<a class="noteref" id="n374.2src" href="#n374.2" name="n374.2src">108</a></p> -<p>Of the mangoes of Mándu Jehángír says: In these -days many mangoes have come into my fruit stores from the Dakhan, -Burhánpur, Gujarát, and the districts of Málwa. -This country is famous for its mangoes.

They clothe each hill -and dale, each slope and plain. I know of no place so pleasant in -climate and so pretty in scenery as Mándu in the rainy season. -This month of July which is one of the months of the hot season, the -sun being in Leo, one cannot sleep within the house without a coverlet, -and during the day there is no need for a fan. What I have noticed is -but a small part of the many beauties of Mándu. Two things I -have seen here which I had seen nowhere in India. One of them is the -tree of the wild plantain which grows all over the hill top, the other -is the nest of the <i>mamolah</i> or wagtail. Till now no bird-catcher -could tell its nest.

The 26th of <i>Amardád</i> -(about mid-July) was the Shab-i-Barát holiday. I ordered a -jubilee or assembly of joy to be held on the occasion in one of the -palaces occupied by Núr Jehán Begam in the midst of the -big lake. The nobles and others were invited to attend this party which -was organized by the Begam, and I ordered the cup and other intoxicants -with various fruits and minced meats to be given to all who wished -them. It was a wonderful gathering. As evening set in the lanterns and -lamps gleaming along the banks of the lake made an illumination such as -never had been seen. The countless lights with which the palaces and -buildings were ablaze shining on the lake made the whole surface of the -water appear to be on fire.<a class="noteref" id="n375.3src" href="#n375.3" name="n375.3src">115</a></p> -<p>The Memoirs continue: On Sunday the 9th of <i>Yúr</i>, the -sixth Persian month (late July), I went with the ladies of the palace -to the quarters of Ásaf Khán, Núr -Jehán’s brother, the second son of Mirza Ghiás Beg. -I found Ásaf Khán lodged in a glen of great beauty -surrounded by other little vales and dells with waterfalls and running -streamlets and green and shady mango groves.

As there was not time for -me to inspect all his presents he produced the elephant Sarnák, -the best of the elephants of Ádil Khán of Bijápur. -He also gave me a case full of the rarest precious stones. I ordered -the military paymasters to make presents to his nobles according to -their rank. The first to come was Khán Jehán, whom I -allowed the honour of kissing my feet. For his victory over the -Rána of Chitor I had before granted to my fortunate child Kurram -the rank of a commander of 20,000 with 10,000 horse. Now for his -service in the Dakhan I made him a commander of 30,000 and 20,000 horse -with the title of Sháh Jehán. I also ordered that -henceforward he should enjoy the privilege of sitting on a stool near -my throne, an honour which did not exist and is the first of its kind -granted to anyone in my family. I further granted him a special dress. -To do him honour I came down from the window and with my own hand -scattered over his head as sacrifice a trayfull of precious stones as -well as a large trayfull of gold.</p> -<p>Jehángír’s last Mándu entry is this: On -the night of Friday in the month of <i>Abán</i> (October 24th, -1617) in all happiness and good fortune I marched from Mándu and -halted on the bank of the lake at Naâlchah.</p> -<p>Jehángír’s stay at Mándu is referred to -by more than one English traveller. In March 1617, the Rev. Edward -Terry, chaplain to the Right Honourable Sir T.

Terry passed through Mándu a few -days’ march across a plain and level country, apparently towards -Dhár, where he met the Lord Ambassador Sir Thomas Roe, who had -summoned Terry from Surat to be his chaplain. Sir Thomas Roe was then -marching from Ajmír to Mándu with the Court of the -emperor Jehángír, whom Terry calls the Great King.</p> -<p>On the 3rd of March, says Roe, the Mughal was to have entered -Mándu. But all had to wait for the good hour fixed by the -astrologers. From the 6th of March, when he entered Mándu, till -the 24th of October, the emperor Jehángír, with Sir -Thomas Roe in attendance, remained at Mándu.<a class="noteref" -id="n377.1src" href="#n377.1" name="n377.1src">121</a> According to Roe -before the Mughal visited Mándu the hill was not much inhabited, -having more ruins by far than standing houses.<a class="noteref" id="n377.2src" href="#n377.2" name="n377.2src">122</a> But the moving city -that accompanied the emperor soon overflowed the hill-top. According to -Roe Jehángír’s own encampment was walled round half -a mile in circuit in the form of a fortress, with high screens or -curtains of coarse stuff, somewhat like Aras hangings, red on the -outside, the inside divided into compartments with a variety of -figures. This enclosure had a handsome gateway and the circuit was -formed into various coins and bulwarks. The posts that supported the -curtains were all surmounted with brass tops.<a class="noteref" id="n377.3src" href="#n377.3" name="n377.3src">123</a> Besides the -emperor’s encampment were the noblemen’s quarters, each at -an appointed distance from the king’s tents, very handsome, some -having their tents green, others white, others of mixed colours. The -whole composed the most curious and magnificent sight Roe had ever -beheld.<a class="noteref" id="n377.4src" href="#n377.4" name="n377.4src">124</a> The hour taken by Jehángír in passing -from the Dehli Gate to his own quarters, the two English miles from -Roe’s lodge which was not far from the Dehli Gate to -Jehángír’s palace, and other reasons noted below -make it almost certain that the Mughal’s encampment and the camps -of the leading nobles were on the open slopes to the south of the Sea -Lake between Báz Bahádur’s palace on the east and -Songad on the west. And that the palace at Mándu from which -Jehángír wrote was the building now known as Báz -Bahádur’s palace.<a class="noteref" id="n377.5src" href="#n377.5" name="n377.5src">125</a> A few months before it reached -Mándu the imperial camp had turned the whole valley of -Ajmír into a magnificent city,<a class="noteref" id="n377.6src" -href="#n377.6" name="n377.6src">126</a> and a few weeks before reaching -Mándu at Thoda, about fifty miles south-east of Ajmír, -the camp formed a settlement not less in circuit than twenty English -miles, equalling in size almost any town in Europe.<a class="noteref" -id="n377.7src" href="#n377.7" name="n377.7src">127</a> In the middle of -the encampment were all sorts of shops so regularly disposed that all -persons knew where to go for everything.</p> -<p>The demands of so great a city overtaxed the powers of the deserted -Mándu.

The custom being such that -whatsoever fountain or tank is found by any great man in time of -drought he shall keep it proper to his without interruption. The day -after one of the king’s Hadis (<i>Ahádis</i>) finding the -same and striving for it was taken by my Lord’s people and -bound.<a class="noteref" id="n378.1src" href="#n378.1" name="n378.1src">129</a> Corryat adds: During the time of the great drought -two Moor nobles daily sent ten camels to the Narbada and distributed -the water to the poor, which was so dear they sold a little skin for 8 -pies (one penny).<a class="noteref" id="n378.2src" href="#n378.2" name="n378.2src">130</a></p> -<p>Terry notices that among the piles of buildings that held their -heads above ruin were not a few unfrequented mosques or Muhammadan -churches. Though the people who attended the king were marvellously -straitened for room to put their most excellent horses, none would use -the churches as stables, even though they were forsaken and out of use. -This abstinence seems to have been voluntary, as Roe’s servants, -who were sent in advance, took possession of a fair court with walled -enclosure in which was a goodly temple and a tomb. It was the best in -the whole circuit of Mándu, the only drawback being that it was -two miles from the king’s house.<a class="noteref" id="n378.3src" -href="#n378.3" name="n378.3src">131</a> The air was wholesome and the -prospect was pleasant, as it was on the edge of the hill.<a class="noteref" id="n378.4src" href="#n378.4" name="n378.4src">132</a> The -emperor, perhaps referring rather to the south of the hill, which from -the elaborate building and repairs carried out in advance by Abdul -Karím seems to have been called the New City, gives a less -deserted impression of Mándu. He writes (24th March 1617): Many -buildings and relics of the old kings are still standing, for as yet -decay has not fallen upon the city. On the 24th I rode to see the royal -edifices. First I visited the Jámá Masjid built by -Sultán Hoshang Ghori. It is a very lofty building and erected -entirely of hewn stone. Although it has been standing 180 years it -looks as if built to-day. Then I visited the sepulchres of the kings -and rulers of the Khilji dynasty, among which is the sepulchre of the -eternally cursed Násir-ud-dín.<a class="noteref" id="n378.5src" href="#n378.5" name="n378.5src">133</a> Sher Sháh to -show his horror of Násir-ud-dín, the father-slayer, -ordered his people to beat Násir-ud-dín’s tomb with -sticks. Jehángir also kicked the grave. Then he ordered the tomb -to be opened and the remains to be taken out and burnt. Finally, -fearing the remains might pollute the eternal light, he ordered the -ashes to be thrown into the Narbada.<a class="noteref" id="n378.6src" -href="#n378.6" name="n378.6src">134</a></p> -<p>The pleasant outlying position of Roe’s lodge proved to be -open to the objection that out of the vast wilderness wild beasts often -came, seldom returning without a sheep, a goat, or a kid.

Among them Sultán -Ghiás-ud-dín was so famous for his luxurious habits, that -at present (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1611) if any one exceeds -in luxury and pleasure, they say he is a second -Ghiás-ud-dín. The orders of the Sultán were that -no event of a painful nature or one in which there was any touch of -sadness should be related to him. They say that during his entire reign -news of a sad nature was only twice conveyed to him: once when his -son-in-law died and once when his daughter was brought before him -clothed in white. On this occasion the Sultán is related to have -simply said: “Perhaps her husband is dead.” This he said -because the custom of the people of India is that when the husband of a -woman dies she gives up wearing coloured clothes. The second occasion -was when the army of Sultán Bahlol Lodi plundered several of the -districts of Chanderi. Though it was necessary to report this to the -Sultán, his ministers were unable to communicate it to him. They -therefore asked a band of actors (<i>bhánds</i>) to assume the -dress of Afgháns, and mentioning the districts to represent them -as being pillaged and laid waste. Sultán -Ghiás-ud-dín exclaimed in surprise: “But is the -governor of Chanderi dead that he does not avenge upon the -Afgháns the ruin of his country!” <a class="fnarrow" -href="#n364.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n364.3" -href="#n364.3src" name="n364.3">51</a></span> Compare Catalogue of -Indian Coins, The Mahomedan States, pages LIV.

It is therefore probable that after his return to -England Sir Thomas Herbert obtained the Mándu details from -Master Thomas who was himself a writer, the author of several poems and -pamphlets. Corryat’s tale how, during the water-famine at -Mándu, Master Herbert annexed a spring or cistern, and then -bound a servant of the Great King who attempted to share in its use, -shows admirable courage and resolution on the part of Master Thomas, -then a youth of twenty years. The details of Thomas in his brother Lord -Herbert’s autobiography give additional interest to the hero of -Corryat’s tale of a Tank. Master Thomas was born in. <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1597. In 1610, when a page to Sir Edward Cecil -and a boy of thirteen, in the German War especially in the siege of -Juliers fifteen miles north-east of Aix-la-Chapelle, Master Thomas -showed such forwardness as no man in that great army surpassed. On his -voyage to India in 1617, in a fight with a great Portuguese carrack, -Captain Joseph, in command of Herbert’s ship <i>Globe</i>, was -killed. Thomas took Joseph’s place, forced the carrack aground, -and so riddled her with shot that she never floated again. To his -brother’s visit to India Lord Herbert refers as a year spent with -the merchants who went from Surat to the Great Mughal. After his return -to England Master Thomas distinguished himself at Algiers, capturing a -vessel worth £1800. In 1622, when Master Thomas was in command of -one of the ships sent to fetch Prince Charles (afterwards King Charles -I.) from Spain, during the return voyage certain Low Countrymen and -Dunkirkers, that is Dutch and Spanish vessels, offended the -Prince’s dignity by fighting in his presence without his leave. -The Prince ordered the fighting ships to be separated; whereupon Master -Thomas, with some other ships got betwixt the fighters on either side, -and shot so long that both Low Countrymen and Dunkirkers were glad to -desist. Afterwards at divers times Thomas fought with great courage and -success with divers men in single fight, sometimes hurting and -disarming his adversary, sometimes driving him away. The end of Master -Thomas was sad. Finding his proofs of himself undervalued he retired -into a private and melancholy life, and after living in this sullen -humour for many years, he died about 1642 and was buried in London in -St. Martin’s near Charing Cross. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n381.7src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n382.1" -href="#n382.1src" name="n382.1">158</a></span> Khafi Khán in -Elliot, VII. 218. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n382.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n382.2" -href="#n382.2src" name="n382.2">159</a></span> Malcolm’s Central -India, I. 64. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n382.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n382.3" -href="#n382.3src" name="n382.3">160</a></span> Malcolm’s Central -India, I. 78. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n382.3src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n382.4" -href="#n382.4src" name="n382.4">161</a></span> Malcolm’s Central -India, I. 100. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n382.4src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.1" -href="#n383.1src" name="n383.1">162</a></span> Malcolm’s Central -India, I. 106. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.2" -href="#n383.2src" name="n383.2">163</a></span> Central India, II. -503. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.2src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.3" -href="#n383.3src" name="n383.3">164</a></span> Ruins of Mándu, -43: March 1852 page 34. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.3src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.4" -href="#n383.4src" name="n383.4">165</a></span> Ruins of Mándu, -43: March 1852 page 34. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.4src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.5" -href="#n383.5src" name="n383.5">166</a></span> Malcolm’s Central -India, II. 503. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.5src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.6" -href="#n383.6src" name="n383.6">167</a></span> Briggs’ Farishtah, -IV. 235 note *. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.6src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.7" -href="#n383.7src" name="n383.7">168</a></span> Indian Architecture, -541. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.7src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.8" -href="#n383.8src" name="n383.8">169</a></span> Ruins of Mándu, -9. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.8src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.9" -href="#n383.9src" name="n383.9">170</a></span> Ruins of Mándu, -9. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n383.9src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n383.10" -href="#n383.10src" name="n383.10">171</a></span> Ruins of Mándu, -13, 25, 35.

Long before 1819 too, Marátha -influence was on the wane before the rising fortunes of the British. -Between these two dates however is comprised the whole or nearly the -whole of the period during which the Maráthás were -virtually paramount in Gujarát. From each of these two dates the -political history took a new departure, and on this account they serve -respectively to denote the starting point and terminus of -Marátha supremacy. Most of what took place before 1760 is so -interwoven with the interests and intrigues of the Muhammadan delegates -of the court of Dehli that it has been fully described in the history -of the Musalmán Period. It is however necessary, in order to -trace the growth of Marátha power, to briefly set forth in a -continuous narrative the events in which this race was principally -concerned, adding such as transpired independently of Musalmán -politics. This task is rendered easier by the very nature of -Marátha policy, which has left little to be recorded of its -action in Gujarát beyond the deeds and fortunes of its -initiators and their adherents.</p> -<p>The connection of the Maráthás with Gujarát can -be divided by the chronicler into the following periods. First, the -time of predatory inroads from 1664 to 1743, before the leaders of -these expeditions had permanently established themselves within the -province. Secondly, what may be termed the mercenary period, when the -Maráthás partly by independent action, but far more by a -course of judicious interference in the quarrels of the Muhammadan -officials and by loans of troops, had acquired considerable territorial -advantages. Towards the end of this period, as has been already seen, -their aid was usually sufficient to ensure the success of the side -which had managed to secure it, and at last the capital itself was -claimed and held by them. Then came the time of domination, from 1760 -to 1801, during which period the Gáikwár influence was -occasionally greater than that of the Peshwa. From 1802, internal -dissensions at the courts of Poona and Baroda weakened the hold the -Maráthás had on the province, and the paramount power had -to all intents and purposes passed over to the British long before the -downfall of Bájiráv Peshwa and the final annexation of -his rights and territory in 1819. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb386" -href="#pb386" name="pb386">386</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> Shortly after, when the -Gáikwár made over to the British the work of collecting -the tribute from Káthiáváḍa, Marátha -supremacy came to an end.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Śiváji’s First Inroad, -1664.</span>The first Marátha force that made its appearance in -Gujarát was led there early in 1664 by Śiváji. This -leader was at the time engaged in a warfare with the Mughals, which, -however desultory, required him to keep up a much larger force than -could be supported out of the revenues of his dominions. He therefore -looked to plunder to supply the deficiency, and Surat, then the richest -town of Western India, was marked down by him as an easy prey. His mode -of attack was cautious. He first sent one Bahirji Náik to spy -out the country and report the chances of a rich booty, whilst he -himself moved a force up to Junnar on pretence of visiting some forts -in that direction recently acquired by one of his subordinates. On -receiving a favourable report from Bahirji, Śiváji gave out -that he was going to perform religious ceremonies at Násik, and -taking with him 4000 picked horsemen, he marched suddenly down the -Gháts and through the Dáng jungles, and appeared before -Surat. There he found an insignificant garrison, so he rested outside -the city six days whilst his men plundered at their leisure. On hearing -of the tardy approach of a relieving force sent by the governor of -Ahmedábád, Śiváji beat a retreat with all his -booty to the stronghold of Ráygad. By the time the reinforcement -reached Surat, the only trace of the invaders was the emptied coffers -of the inhabitants. About the same time, or shortly after, the fleet -which Śiváji had equipped at Alibág about two years -before came up to the mouth of the gulf of Cambay and carried off one -or two Mughal ships which were conveying to Makka large numbers of -pilgrims with their rich oblations.<a class="noteref" id="n386.1src" -href="#n386.1" name="n386.1src">1</a></p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Śiváji’s Second Attack, -1670.</span>This insult to the Muhammadan religion was enough to -incense the bigoted Aurangzeb, apart from the additional offences of -the sack of Surat and the assumption in 1665 of royal insignia by -Śiváji. He therefore sent an expedition to the Dakhan -strong enough to keep the Maráthás for some time away -from Gujarát. One of Śiváji’s officers, -however, seems to have attacked a part of the Surat district in 1666, -and to have got off safely with his spoils. In 1670, Śiváji -again descended upon that city with about 15,000 men. The only serious -resistance he experienced was, as before, from the English factors. He -plundered the town for three days, and only left on receiving some -information about the Mughals’ movements in the Dakhan, which -made him fear lest he should be intercepted on his way back to the -country about the Gháts.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">1671.</span>Śiváji left a claim -for twelve lákhs of rupees to be paid as a guarantee against -future expeditions. It is possible, however, that as he does not appear -to have taken any immediate steps to recover this sum, the demand was -made only in accordance with Marátha policy, <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb387" href="#pb387" name="pb387">387</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> which looked upon a -country once overrun as tributary, and assumed a right to exercise -paramount authority over it by virtue of the completed act of a -successful invasion. In 1671 the Marátha fleet was ordered to -sail up the gulf and plunder Broach, and it is probable that -Śiváji intended at the same time to levy tribute from -Surat, but the whole expedition was countermanded before the ships -sailed.</p> -<p>The conduct of the military authorities in Gujarát with -regard to this expedition of 1670 was such as to render it highly -probable that the Mughal leaders were in complicity with the -Maráthás in order to gain the favour and support of their -leader. Shortly before Śiváji’s arrival there had -been a large garrison in Surat, apparently kept there by the governor, -who suspected that some attempt on the town would soon be made. This -garrison was withdrawn before Śiváji’s attack, and -almost immediately after his departure 5000 men were sent back again. -The commanders of the Mughal army in the Dakhan were Jasvant Singh the -Ráhtor chief of Jodhpur and prince Muazzam. Jasvant Singh had -been viceroy of Gujarát from <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1659 to 1662, and in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1671 shortly after Śiváji’s -second expedition was re-appointed to that post for three years. He -had, moreover, been accused of taking bribes from Śiváji -during the operations in the Dakhan. Prince Muazzam, again, had every -reason for wishing to secure to himself so powerful an ally as -Śiváji in the struggle for the imperial crown that took -place, as a rule, at every succession. Aurangzeb, reasoning from his -own experiences as a son, refused to allow a possible heir to his -throne to become powerful at court; and accordingly sent him against -Śiváji with an army quite inadequate for such operations. -It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that if there had not been -some previous understanding between Śiváji and the Mughal -leaders, the troops that were known to be within easy reach of Surat -would have been found strong and numerous enough either to have -repulsed him altogether or at least to have prevented the three -days’ sack of the city.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Sáler Taken, 1672.</span>In -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1672 Śiváji took some of -the small forts to the south of Surat, such as Párnera and -Bagváda, now in the Párdi sub-division of the Surat -district, whilst Moro Trimal got possession of the large fort of -Sáler in Báglán, which guarded one of the most -frequented passes from the Dakhan into Gujarát. The -Maráthás were thus able to command the routes along which -their expeditions could most conveniently be despatched.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Narbada Crossed, 1675.</span>No further -incursion was made till 1675, in which year a Marátha force -first crossed the Narbada. On the resumption of hostilities between -Śiváji and the Mughals, Hasáji Mohite, who had been -made Senápati, with the title of Hambirráv, marched up -the North Konkan, and divided his army into two forces near Surat. One -portion plundered towards Burhánpur, the other commanded by -himself plundered the Broach district. Ten years later a successful -expedition was made against Broach itself, either preconcerted or -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb388" href="#pb388" name="pb388">388</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> actually led by a younger -son of Aurangzeb, who had taken refuge with the Maráthás. -Broach was plundered, and the booty safely carried off before the local -force could get near the invaders. Gujarát was now left free -from inroad for some fourteen years, probably because the attention of -the Marátha leaders was concentrated on their quarrels in the -Dakhan.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Raids by Dábháde, -1699.</span>In <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1699 Rám -Rája appointed one of his most trusted officers, -Khanderáv Dábháde, to collect in -Báglán the <i>chauth</i><a class="noteref" id="n388.1src" -href="#n388.1" name="n388.1src">2</a> and <i>sardeshmukhi</i> imposts -which had by that time become regularly instituted. This chief, whose -name was afterwards so intimately connected with Gujarát, not -only collected all that was due to his master from the village officers -in Báglán, but also made an incursion into the Surat -districts on his own account. <span class="marginnote">1700–1704.</span>Between 1700 and 1704 -Khanderáv attempted two expeditions, but was foiled by the -vigilance of the Mughal authorities. <span class="marginnote">1705.</span>In 1705, however, he made a raid on a large -scale and got safely across the Narbada, where he defeated two -Muhammadan detachments sent against him, and got back to Sáler -with his booty. <span class="marginnote">1706–1711.</span>Khanderáv now kept bodies of -troops constantly hovering on the outskirts of Gujarát and along -the road to Burhánpur. He himself led several expeditions into -the Ahmedábád territory, and is said to have once got as -far as Sorath in the peninsula, where however he was repelled by the -Musalmán governor. In 1711, again he was severely defeated by -the Mughals near Anklesvar in the Broach district, and had to withdraw -to the borders of Khándesh.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">1713.</span>In 1713 some treasure was being -conveyed from Surat to Aurangábád escorted by a large -force under Muhammad Tabrízí.

Just before -this, Sarbuland Khán, the deputy viceroy, on his way to take up -his office at Ahmedábád, was attacked and robbed in the -wilds of Ságbára on the north bank of the Tápti. -As Khanderáv had a short while previous to these occurrences -taken up his position near Nándod<a class="noteref" id="n388.2src" href="#n388.2" name="n388.2src">3</a> in the -Rájpipla territory, it is probably to him or to his subordinates -that these raids are to be attributed. He managed by a system of -outposts to cut off communication between Surat and Burhánpur, -except for those who had paid him a fee for safe conduct. If this -charge was evaded or resisted, he appropriated one-fourth of the -property that the traveller was conveying up country.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Dábháde, 1716.</span>As the -Burhánpur road was one of those most frequented by both pilgrims -and merchants, the Dehli authorities were obliged, in 1716, to organize -an expedition against Dábháde. The leader of the force -was one Zulfikar Beg, an officer inexperienced in Marátha -warfare. Dábháde found little difficulty in decoying him -into a mountainous country, and there completely defeated him with the -usual Marátha accompaniment of plunder. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb389" href="#pb389" name="pb389">389</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> <span class="marginnote">Dábháde Senápati.</span>Finding -himself once more in the Dakhan, Khanderáv Dábháde -took the opportunity of rejoining the court at Sátára, -from which he had long been absent.

The grounds on which -Báláji demanded the tribute from Gujarát were that -Sháhu would thereby gain the right to restrain the excesses of -Marátha freebooters from the frontier and would guarantee the -whole country against irregular pillage. The argument was a curious -one, considering that the most troublesome and notorious freebooter of -the whole tribe was at the elbow of the envoy, who was so strenuously -pleading for the right to suppress him. It is probable that -Báláji foresaw that Khanderáv’s newly -acquired rank would take him for a time from Báglán to -the court, so that meanwhile an arrangement could be made to prevent -the growth of any powerful chief in the Gujarát direction who -might interfere with the plans of the central government. The -Marátha statesman was as anxious to ensure the subordination of -distant feudatories as the Mughals to secure the freedom of the -Ghát roads to the coast.</p> -<p>In the redistribution of authority carried out about this time by -Báláji Vishvanáth, the responsibility of -collecting the Marátha dues<a class="noteref" id="n389.1src" -href="#n389.1" name="n389.1src">4</a> from Gujarát and -Báglán was assigned to Khanderáv as <span class="corr" id="xd25e34641" title="Source: Senápáti">Senápati</span> or -commander-in-chief; but as these dues were not yet settled, at least as -regards the country below the Gháts, Khanderáv seems to -have remained with the Peshwa in the field.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Dámáji Gáikwár, -1720.</span>At the battle of Bálápur, fought against the -Nizám-ul-Mulk, one of the officers of Khanderáv, by name -Dámáji Gáikwár, so distinguished himself -that the Senápati brought his conduct prominently to the notice -of Rája Sháhu. The latter promoted Dámáji -to be second in command to Khanderáv with the title of Shamsher -Bahádur, which had been formerly borne by one of the Atole -family in 1692. This is the first mention of the present ruling family -of Baroda. Before many months both Khanderáv and -Dámáji died.

As soon as he could collect a sufficiently strong -force, he attacked the Surat district and defeated the Musalmán -commander close to the city itself. After extorting from him a handsome -sum as ransom, Piláji returned eastwards. He selected -Songad,<a class="noteref" id="n390.1src" href="#n390.1" name="n390.1src">5</a> a fort about fifty miles east of Surat, as his -headquarters, and from thence made continual excursions against the -neighbouring towns. He once attacked Surat, but although he defeated -the Mughal leader, he seems to have contented himself with -contributions levied from the adjacent country, and not to have entered -the town. Piláji soon obtained possession of some strongholds in -the <span class="marginnote">1723.</span>Rájpipla country -between Nándod and Ságbára, which he fortified, as -Khanderáv Dábháde had formerly done. Here he -resided as representative of the Senápati, whose family had -removed for a while to the Dakhan. The tribute collected from -Báglán and Gujarát was supposed to be transmitted -by Piláji to the royal treasury through the Peshwa; but there is -no record of these dues having been levied with any regularity or even -fixed at any special amount. Whilst Trimbakráv was taking an -active part in the affairs of his royal patron in the Dakhan, -Piláji occupied himself in sedulously cultivating the goodwill -of the border tribes surrounding his residence in Gujarát.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Marátha Tribute, 1723.</span>The -year 1723 is noteworthy as being the date of the first imposition of -the regular Marátha demand of one-fourth, <i>chauth</i>, and -one-tenth, <i>sardeshmukhi</i>, of the revenue of Gujarát. -Whilst Piláji was directing his attacks against Surat and the -south of the province another of Rája Sháhu’s -officers, who had been sent up towards Málwa, entered -Gujarát by the north-east, and after ravaging the country round -Dohad,<a class="noteref" id="n390.2src" href="#n390.2" name="n390.2src">6</a> settled a fixed tribute on the district.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Kantáji Kadam.</span>This officer, -Kantáji Kadam Bánde, was soon after engaged by one of the -parties struggling for the viceroyalty of Ahmedábád to -bring his cavalry into the province and take part in the civil war. The -leader of the opposite party, Rustam Ali, enlisted the services of -Piláji Gáikwár. The Nizám-ul-Mulk, whose -influence in the Dakhan was very great, managed to detach Piláji -from Rustam Ali’s side.

He therefore applied to the viceroy -for a confirmation of the right to levy <i>chauth</i> and -<i>sardeshmukhi</i> over the whole country, on condition that he would -protect it from the inroads of Kantáji, Piláji, and other -irresponsible freebooters. The viceroy had still some resources left at -his disposal and was in hopes that his repeated applications to Dehli -for assistance would soon meet with a favourable answer. <span class="marginnote">Cession of Tribute, 1728.</span>He declined therefore to -accede to Bájiráv’s proposals at once, on the -grounds that the court at Dehli had repudiated the concessions made to -Piláji and Kantáji by his predecessor’s deputy. As -however the depredations on the frontier caused serious injury both to -the revenues and the people, he allowed the Peshwa to send a feudatory, -Udáji Pavár, chief of Dhár, through the Mughal -territories to operate against Piláji.

He then retired -to the Dakhan, and the Nawáb, taking advantage of the lull to -strengthen his army, captured Ahmedábád from the -Marátha garrison and established himself in the city.

Khanderáv and Sayájiráv had shown frequent -signs of insubordination (as for instance in their espousal of the -cause of Rangoji) and a desire to establish themselves in an -<span class="corr" id="xd25e35054" title="Source: independant">independent</span> position, but the sagacity of -Dámáji foresaw the advantage such a partition would give -an enemy like the Peshwa, and his tact enabled him to preserve unity in -his family, at least in resistance to what he showed them to be their -common foe.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Disputed Succession.</span>The quarrel for -the succession that arose on <span class="corr" id="xd25e35061" title="Source: Dámáj’s">Dámáji’s</span> -death was the first step towards the breaking up of the -Gáikwár’s power. Dámáji had three -wives. By the first he had Govindráv, who however was born after -Sayájiráv, the son by the second wife. His sons by the -third wife were Mánáji and Fatesingh.

Govindráv, -however, was on the spot where his influence could be used most -extensively. Sayáji, moreover, was an idiot and a puppet in the -hands of his half brother Fatesingh.

A -payment of 50½ lákhs of rupees to the Peshwa on account -of arrears of tribute and a fine for his conduct in taking part with -Rághobá was a strong argument in his favour, and when he -agreed to a tribute previously demanded from his father of <abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 7,79,000 yearly and to maintain a peace contingent -at Poona of 3000 horse, to be increased by a thousand more in time of -war, there could be little doubt as to the legitimacy of his claim, and -he was duly invested with his father’s title and estate.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">1771.</span>For reasons not apparent -Sayáji’s claims were not brought forward till nearly two -years later.

The Peshwa was glad to have this opportunity of -undoing so much of Dámáji’s work and dividing the -Gáikwár family against itself, so using the verdict of -Rám Shástri as his weapon, he cancelled the former grant -in favour of Govindráv, and appointed Sayájiráv -with Fatesingh as his <i>mutálik</i> or deputy. The latter, by -agreeing to pay an extra sum of 6½ lákhs of rupees -annually, got permission to retain the Poona contingent of -Gáikwár horse in Gujarát, on the pretext that -Govindráv would probably attack his brothers on the earliest -opportunity. Thus, whatever happened, all went to the profit of the -Peshwa’s party and to the injury of the tax-paying Gujarát -ryot.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">1773.</span>Fatesingh retired in triumph to -Baroda, and opened negotiations with the English in Surat, as he had -been endeavouring to do for a year past without success.

The cessions made by -Fatesingh Gáikwár were to be restored to him if the -Peshwa’s Government could prove that he had no right to make them -without due authorization from Poona. The treaty of the 6th March was -declared null and void. Rághobá was to disband his army -and take a pension. If he resisted, the English were to give him no -assistance. If he agreed to the terms proposed, he was to live at -Kopargaon<a class="noteref" id="n406.1src" href="#n406.1" name="n406.1src">13</a> on the Godávari with an ample pension. When -he received information as to the terms of the new treaty, he at once -declined to accept the pension, and, as he could not understand the -position of the Bombay Government with regard to that at Calcutta, he -proceeded to offer still more favourable terms for further -assistance.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Rághobá at Surat, -1776.</span>Rághobá was at Mándvi<a class="noteref" id="n406.2src" href="#n406.2" name="n406.2src">14</a> on the -Tápti when he was finally given to understand that the British -could no longer aid him.

Mr. Mostyn was the person selected, and he arrived in Poona in -March 1777. He soon found that the ministers had little intention of -adhering to the treaty, so he at once took up the question that he -thought it most important to the Bombay Government to have settled, -namely the relations of the Peshwa’s Court with Fatesingh -Gáikwár as regards the cessions of territory. The -ministers asserted that the Gáikwárs merely administered -Gujarát on the part of the Peshwa and were entirely dependent -upon the Poona government, so that they could conclude no agreement -with foreign states except with its approbation. Fatesingh did not deny -the dependence, but evaded the question of his right to make direct -treaties and claimed the restitution of the cessions on the ground that -Raghunáthráv had failed to perform his part of the -stipulations. The point was discussed for some time, and at last the -question of dependence seems to have been let drop, for in February -1778 Fatesingh paid up the arrears of tribute, made the usual presents -to the ministers and their favourites, and was again invested with the -title of Sená-Khás-Khel.</p> -<p>In October a despatch from the Court of Directors reached the -Governments of Bengal and Bombay, disapproving of the treaty of -Purandhar, but ratifying it on the principle <i>factum valet</i>. It -was suggested, however, that in case of evasion on the part of the -ministers, a fresh treaty should be concluded with -Rághobá on the lines of that of 1775.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Fresh Alliance with Rághobá, -1778.</span>In November 1778 it was rumoured that the ministers in -Poona were intriguing with the French, so the Bombay Government took -this opportunity of entering into a treaty with Rághobá, -who was still in Bombay. He confirmed the grants of 1775, and as -security for the pay of the British contingent that was to help in -placing him on the Peshwa’s throne in Poona, he agreed to assign -the revenues of Balsár and the remainder of Anklesvar, as he had -done before. He stipulated, however, that his own agents should collect -the dues from these districts, and that the British should take charge -of them only in case of the full sum due not being paid and then merely -as a temporary measure.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Convention of Bhadgaon, 1779.</span>On -the 22nd November 1778 the force moved out of Bombay, and by dint of -mismanagement and internal dissension the campaign was brought to an -end by the convention of the 16th January 1779. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb408" href="#pb408" name="pb408">408</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> Under this agreement all -possessions in Gujarát acquired since the time of -Mádhavráv Peshwa were to be restored by the British, -together with Sálsette, Uran, and other islands. -Rághobá was to be made over to Sindia’s charge, and -a separate treaty assigned to Sindia the sovereignty of Broach.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Negotiation with the -Gáikwár.</span>The Council at Bombay disavowed the -convention and were inclined to adhere only to the clause allotting -Broach to Sindia. Mr. Hornby proposed to the Supreme Government an -alliance with Fatesingh, engaging to free him from dependence on the -Poona Government and to reconcile the disputants within the -Gáikwár family itself. After the arrival of General -Goddard with reinforcements from Bengal the Governor General approved -of the alliance proposed with Fatesingh as head of the Baroda state, -but specially declined to admit any participation or support in the -family disputes. The British were to conquer for themselves the -Peshwa’s share of Gujarát, if they were able to do so.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Rághobá Escapes from Sindia, -1779.</span>Rághobá, meanwhile, who had been given over -to Sindia to be conveyed to Bundelkhand, escaped with the connivance of -his custodian and fled to Broach. This was evidently a move calculated -by Sindia to bring on hostilities between Nána Phadnis, the head -of the ministerial party, and the English. General Goddard, who was -conducting the negotiations with Poona on the part both of the Supreme -Government and of the Government of Bombay, received -Rághobá on June 12th, but evaded any proposals for a -direct alliance. At the end of the rains of the same year, information -was received by the English that a coalition against them had been -<span class="marginnote">League against the English, 1780.</span>formed -by the Maráthás, the Nizám, and Hyder Ali of -Mysor. The rumour was partially confirmed by the demand by Nána -Phadnis for the cession of Sálsette and the person of -Rághobá as preliminaries to any treaty. No answer was -given, but reinforcements were called for and the overtures with -Fatesingh pushed forward. This chief prevaricated about the terms of -the treaty and evidently did not like to enter into any special -engagement that might perhaps bring down upon him the Poona army. -General Goddard therefore advanced on 1st January 1780 against Dabhoi, -which was garrisoned by the Peshwa’s troops from the Dakhan, -whilst the English in Broach expelled the Marátha officers from -their posts and re-took possession of Anklesvar, Hánsot, and -Ámod. On January 20th Dabhoi was evacuated by the -Maráthás and occupied by General Goddard.

General -Goddard was preparing monsoon quarters for his army, when he heard that -a division of a Marátha force which had been plundering the -Konkan in order to cut off supplies from Bombay had attacked parts of -the Surat Athávisi. He detached some troops under Lieut. Welsh -and sent them to the south, whilst he remained himself on the Narbada. -Lieut.

After some personal communications -with this Chief in Gujarát, General Goddard was able to arrange -with the Gáikwár for the defence of part of that province -and thus set free some European troops for service elsewhere.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Treaty of Sálbai, 1782.</span>No -further attack was made in this direction during the continuance of the -war which came to an end on 17th May 1782. The treaty of Sálbai -between an envoy of the Governor General on one side and -Mahádáji Sindia as plenipotentiary for the Peshwa and -minister of Poona on the other, replaced the Marátha territory -in Gujarát exactly where it was on the outbreak of hostilities -against Rághobá in 1775. It was, however, specially -stipulated that no demand for arrears of tribute during the late -hostilities should be made against the Gáikwár, a clause -that led to misunderstandings many years later. The town of Broach was -given over to Sindia in accordance with the secret negotiation of 1779 -and the votes of the Bengal and Bombay Councils. The territory round -Broach yielding a revenue of three lákhs of rupees, ceded by the -Peshwa, was likewise returned. Rághobá was granted a -pension of 25,000 rupees a month and allowed to select his own place of -residence. He went to Kopargaon and there died a few months after the -conclusion of the treaty of Sálbai. Thus came to an end one of -the chief sources of disturbance to the Poona government. For the next -six years no event of any political importance took place in -Gujarát, which province was left almost entirely to the -administration of the Gáikwár family.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Death of Fatesingh, 1789.</span>In 1789, -however, Fatesingh died, leaving Sayájiráv without a -guardian. Mánáji, a younger brother, at once seized the -reins of government and began the usual sort of negotiations to secure -his recognition by the Poona government. He paid a nazarána of -3,13,000 rupees and agreed to pay up thirty-six lákhs of rupees -as arrears, though it is not clear on what account, unless that sum had -accrued since the treaty of Sálbai, or was part of the long -standing account left open by Dámáji in 1753. -Mánáji, however, was not allowed to succeed to the post -of guardian without opposition. Govindráv Gáikwár -was living at Poona, and, though he had himself little influence with -the Peshwa’s immediate adherents, he had managed to secure the -then powerful Sindia on his side. This chief, since his recognition as -plenipotentiary at the treaty of Sálbai, had been gradually -making good his position with the Peshwa and his favourites as well as -with the leading Marátha nobles, so as to be able to -successfully oppose Nána Phadnis when the time came for a -coalition of the outlying chiefs against the ministerial party. -Govindráv offered his son Ánandráv as husband for -the daughter of Sindia, a proposal which it is not probable that he -ever intended to carry out. A grant of three lákhs of rupees was -also promised, in return for which Sindia allowed his garrison in -Broach to assist Govindráv’s illegitimate son -Kánhoji to reach Baroda. Mánáji applied to the -Bombay Government on the grounds that the steps taken by -Govindráv were contrary to the provisions of the treaty of 1780. -As however this treaty had been abrogated by the later agreement at -Sálbai, the Bombay Government declined to interfere. -Mánáji’s agents at Poona <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb411" href="#pb411" name="pb411">411</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> contrived to get -Nána Phadnis to propose a compromise, to which however -Govindráv, at the instigation probably of Sindia, declined to -accede. Before any decision was reached Mánáji died.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">1793.</span>Nána detained -Govindráv in Poona till he had agreed to hold by former -stipulations and to cede to the Peshwa the -Gáikwár’s share in the districts south of the -Tápti together with his share of the Surat customs. To this the -Government of Bombay demurred as an infraction of the provision of the -Sálbai treaty whereby the integrity of the -Gáikwár’s possessions was assured. Nána -Phadnis at once withdrew his proposals.

A cause of quarrel soon arose. Daulatráv pressed -Ába for part payment of the above ten lákhs, and the -latter being unable to squeeze enough out of his own territory, forced -contributions from some of the villages administered by the -Gáikwár. Govindráv at once took up arms against -him and applied for aid to the English Agent at Surat. In this city -Governor Jonathan Duncan had just assumed chief authority in accordance -with an agreement between the English and the Nawáb. Duncan was -anxious to secure for his government the land round Surat and the -Gáikwár’s share in the <i>chauth</i> of the town -and district. Govindráv, when this demand was made, referred the -Governor to Poona, knowing that under the treaty of Sálbai the -British Government had no more right to acquire a share of the -Gáikwár territory than the Poona authorities had when -they made a somewhat similar demand in 1793, which was withdrawn as -stated above.

These rights included shares in the -Káthiáváḍa and Sorath tribute, the revenue -of Petlád, Nápád, Ránpur, Dhandhuka, and -Gogha, together with rights to certain customs dues in Cambay and a -share in the revenue of the city of Ahmedábád. -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb412" href="#pb412" name="pb412">412</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> Govindráv -unfortunately died a month before this farm was formally made over by -the Peshwa.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Ánandráv -Gáikwár, 1800.</span>As had happened at the death of -Dámáji, so again now, the heir Ánandráv was -all but an idiot and quite incapable of managing his affairs.

Firstly, they placed -the relations of the tributary to the paramount power on quite a new -basis. Secondly, by them the British influence over both parties -concerned was much increased and the connection between the governments -of Bombay and Baroda drawn closer.

The ryots were usually -tenants long resident in the province. The chiefs were in almost every -case foreigners, invaders from the north and north-east; Muhammadan -adventurers from the court of Ahmedábád; Káthis -animated by the love of plunder and cattle-lifting; and -Miánás and Vághelás who had settled on the -coast on account of the facilities it afforded for their favourite -pursuits of wrecking and piracy. More numerous than any others were the -<span class="corr" id="xd25e35609" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span>, driven south by the disturbed -state of their native kingdoms or by the restless spirit of military -adventure to be found in a class where one profession alone is -honourable. There is a certain uniformity in the building up of all -these chieftainships. A powerful leader, with a sufficient band of -followers, oppressed his weaker neighbours till they were glad to come -to terms and place themselves under his protection, so as both to -escape themselves and to take their chance of sharing in the plunder of -others. It frequently happened in the growth of one of these states -that the <i>bháyád</i> or relations of the chief (who are -sure to be numerous in a polygamous society) were influential enough to -assume, in their turn, a partial independence and to claim recognition -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb417" href="#pb417" name="pb417">417</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -State of Káthiáváḍa, 1807.</span> as a -separate state. As a rule, however, they continued to unite with the -head of the family against external foes, and only disagreed as to -domestic administration. It is also noticeable that though so addicted -to the profession of arms, the <span class="corr" id="xd25e35630" -title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span> cannot be called a -military race; they possess few of the true military virtues; hence the -slowness of their advance, and their failure in competition with -perhaps less courageous though more compact and pliable races. In -Káthiáváḍa fortified strongholds, formidable -enough to an army moving rapidly without siege trains, arose in all -directions, and even villages were surrounded by a high mud wall as a -protection against cattle-lifters.</p> -<p>The groundwork of these states being itself so unstable, their -relations with each other were conducted on no principle but the law of -the stronger. General distrust reigned throughout. Each chief well knew -that his neighbours had won their position as he had won his own by the -gradual absorption of the weaker, and that they were ready enough -whenever opportunity offered to subject his dominions to the same -process. The administration of his territory consisted merely in -levying, within certain limits sanctioned by long usage, as much -revenue as would suffice to maintain himself and his forces in their -position with regard to the surrounding states. When a foreign enemy -appeared there was no co-operation amongst the local chiefs in -resistance. It was a point of honour not to yield except to a superior -force. Each chief, therefore, resisted the demands made upon him until -he considered that he had done enough to satisfy the family conscience -and then, agreeing to the terms proposed, he allowed the wave of -extortion to pass on and deluge the domains of his neighbour. It should -be remembered that the peninsula had never been subjugated, though -overrun times innumerable. The evil of invasion was thus transitory. To -a chief the mere payment of tribute tended in no wise to derogate from -his independence. In his capacity of military freebooter he -acknowledged the principle as just. His country had been won by the -sword and was retained by the sword and not by acquiescence in the -payment of tribute, so that if he could avoid this extortion he was -justified in doing so. If he weakened his state in resisting -foreigners, he knew that his neighbours would certainly take advantage -of the favourable juncture and annex his territory. It was his policy -therefore, after resistance up to a certain point, to succumb.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Revenue Raid System.</span>Owing to -this local peculiarity and to the general want of union in the -province, both the Mughals and Maráthás found it -advantageous to follow a system of successive expeditions rather than -to incur the expense of permanently occupying the peninsula with an -army which would necessarily have to be a large one. There is every -reason to believe that in adopting the raid system the Musalmáns -were only pursuing the practice of their predecessors, who used to take -tribute from Jodhpur to Dwárka.</p> -<p>Some of the subhedárs of Ahmedábád divided -their tributary district into three circuits of collection and -personally undertook the <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb418" href="#pb418" name="pb418">418</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -The Revenue Raid System.</span> charge of one each year. This was the -<i>mulakgiri</i> <span class="corr" id="xd25e35659" title="Source: Land-raiding">land-raiding</span> system. Besides this chief -expedition, there was the smaller one of the Bábi of -Junágaḍh and the still more minute operations of the -Rával of Bhávnagar against some of his weaker neighbours. -The great Ahmedábád expedition had long been an annual -grievance and was conducted with some show of system and under special -rules called the <i>Raj-ul-Mulak</i>. Three of these rules are of -importance, and seem to have been generally acquiesced in before the -great incursions of Bábáji and Vithalráv at the -beginning of the nineteenth century. The first was that the paramount -power (by which was meant the foreign government which was strong -enough to enforce tribute from all the chiefs) had authority to -interfere in cases of dismemberment, or in proceedings tending to the -depreciation of the revenue or to the dismemberment of any tributary -state. It was again an acknowledged rule that whilst the mulakgiri -expedition of the paramount power was in motion no other army should be -in the field throughout the whole province. The third provision was not -so well established, but it appears to have been understood that the -tribute from each state should be regulated by some standard of former -date. In practice, however, the measure of the Marátha demand -was simply the power to enforce payment.</p> -<p>It is worthy of remark that about the beginning of this century the -resistance to the collection of tribute was stronger towards the west -than in the east and south of the province. In the Mahi Kántha -the lawlessness of the Koli chiefs, who had established themselves in -the ravines and on the hills, necessitated the employment of a military -force for collections. In the neighbourhood of Bijápur and Kadi, -the chiefs would not pay tribute except under the compulsion of a siege -or raid, but the mulakgiri system only reached its full development -west of Dholka.</p> -<p>From these explanatory remarks the system and practice of the -Maráthás can be clearly understood.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The <span class="corr" id="xd25e35672" -title="Source: Máráthás">Maráthás</span> -in Sorath.</span>The Maráthás found their way to Sorath -very early in their Gujarát career. The first raid probably took -place about 1711, when the Muhammadans were occupied near -Ahmedábád. After this incursions were frequent, and under -Dámáji Gáikwár became, as has been seen -above, annual. This leader did more. He took to wife a daughter of the -Gohil chief of the small state of Láthi in east central -Káthiáváḍa, whose dowry in land gave him the -standpoint he sought in the heart of the peninsula. He managed also to -secure his position in what are known as the Amreli Maháls, -probably under the force of circumstances similar to those which caused -the weaker <span class="corr" id="xd25e35676" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span> to gravitate towards the -stronger of their own tribe. His expedition through the peninsula, -generally as near the time of harvest as possible, was made regularly -every year as soon as he had amassed a sufficient number of troops on -the mainland to admit of a force being detached for mulakgiri. The -object of these inroads was plunder, not conquest; the leaders would -readily have entered into negotiations for the payment of the tribute -had the chieftains been disposed to treat otherwise than after defeat. -The expenses <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb419" href="#pb419" name="pb419">419</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -The Maráthás in Sorath.</span> of such an army were -heavy, and the more so as the time during which it would be in the -field was quite indefinite, and dependent entirely upon the amount of -resistance offered. In more than one instance the Marátha -leaders, who usually had no artillery for a siege, were obliged to -regularly beleaguer a town. Early in this century the town of -Mália successfully defended itself against a remarkably well -equipped force under Bábáji, and the -Junágaḍh state was usually avoided by the -Maráthás as much as possible on account of the time it -would take to reduce its army to terms.</p> -<p>It is not on record that the mulakgiri force habitually devastated -the country over which it passed, or caused much greater hardships to -the ryots than are inseparable from the passage of an army in the -field. There are, however, well authenticated stories of the -depredations and damage committed during these expeditions. A village -is said to have been deserted by order of the <i>bhumia</i> in order -that the timber of its houses might furnish fuel for the Marátha -army on its march. Tortures were doubtless inflicted on men supposed to -be well off, who were suspected to have hidden their property. A -Marátha army was usually, if not always, ill disciplined, as is -proved by the testimony of Mr. Forbes, an eye witness of the campaigns -of 1775.<a class="noteref" id="n419.1src" href="#n419.1" name="n419.1src">16</a> From the same writer it is learned what an immense -proportion the camp followers bore to the actual combatants. If this -were the case in a real campaign against a formidable and active enemy, -it is likely that the irresponsible element was still larger in an -expedition like this of mulakgiri, where the enemy was insignificant -and the country at the mercy of the invaders. It is probable therefore -that the troops have been credited with misconduct that should in point -of fact be attributed to these Pindháris. In after years, when -the expeditions were conducted systematically, villages on the line of -march were always allowed the alternative of entertaining a pioneer or -two as a sort of guarantee. If no <i>bandhári</i> of this sort -were accepted, the army occupied the place. In many cases the demands -for supplies made by these pioneers were so exorbitant that the -villagers preferred to compound in turn with them also for their -absence. Another method by which a chieftain might avoid the necessity -of the army’s passing through his territories was by sending to -the commander of the expedition an envoy empowered to treat for the -amount of tribute and to execute a provisional guarantee for its future -liquidation. This deed was destroyed on the subsequent confirmation by -the chief himself of the agreement for the sum fixed.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Securities.</span>This habit of taking -securities in all engagements was so prevalent in all parts of the -province, and played so prominent a part in the financial -administration of the Gáikwár’s home and tributary -domains, that its main features are worth describing.</p> -<p>It is a well known characteristic of Hindu dealings that no -transaction is carried on by two parties alone if a third can possibly -be dragged in.

With classes like Kolis and predatory <span class="corr" -id="xd25e35727" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span>, the -feeling is intelligible enough, and from these it spread into other -branches of the society. To such a pitch was distrust carried in the -early part of the nineteenth century, that the Gáikwár -himself could find no one to enter into a contract with him without the -guarantee of one of his own subjects. The consequences of this practice -and the power it threw into the hands of the Arab mercenaries, who were -the principal securities for the public debts, are matters that touch -the history of the Baroda State rather than that of the province. The -chiefs in their dealings employed a special sort of security which owed -its validity not to political consideration like that of the Arab -Jamádárs but entirely to its religious and traditional -character.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Bháts and Chárans, -1807.</span>A society of the military type like the <span class="corr" -id="xd25e35734" title="Source: Rajput">Rájput</span> has a -tendency towards caste and privilege. Without a leader the warlike -instincts of the tribe would not carry them beyond petty robberies; -whilst with a leader they can achieve greater exploits of valour and -destruction. The successful chief then is idolized, and after a certain -stage the privileges of the chieftainship become hereditary. Once this -system is established, the celebration of ancestors follows, and when -circumstances are favourable to the perpetuation of the hereditary -position, the genealogy of the chief is a matter of the highest -importance, and the person entrusted with the record of this is vested -with peculiar sanctity. It is the genealogist’s duty to enter in -the record, not only the direct line but the names of the more distant -relations of the chief by whom he is retained, and also to be the -continual chanter of the glorious deeds of their common ancestors. He -is therefore a referee of the highest authority in questions of -pedigree or of the partition of inheritance. An injury to his person -might entail the loss of the pedigree of the ruling family (especially -as many of the bards kept no written record) and thus produce a -misfortune which would be felt by the whole tribe. The chief, being a -warrior, must take his chance in the field with the rest, but the -person of the genealogist was sacred and inviolable. Amongst the -<span class="corr" id="xd25e35737" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span> the greatest reverence was paid -to purity of pedigree, and each principal family had its Bhát to -record births and deaths amongst its members and to stimulate pride in -their lineage by the recital of the wars and exploits of their -ancestors.</p> -<p>These Bháts necessarily multiplied beyond the number of the -families that could entertain them, so that many took to banking and -some to cultivation. Surrounded as they were by the social system of -the Hindus, it was not long before they became differentiated into a -distinct caste, and the inviolability of their persons, formerly due -only to respect for the pedigree, was now extended to the whole tribe, -even though a large proportion of it performed none of the duties of -genealogists. Similar to the Bháts in many respects, notably in -that of sacredness of person, were the Chárans, numerous in -Káthiáváḍa, where they had founded villages -and lived as ordinary <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb421" href="#pb421" name="pb421">421</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -Bháts and Chárans, 1807.</span> cultivators. This tribe -also claimed divine origin like the race whose annals they had the -privilege of recording. It is said that Rája Todar Mal, the -celebrated minister of the Dehli empire, was the first to introduce the -practice of taking these Bháts as securities for the -<span class="corr" id="xd25e35757" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span>. The assertion is possibly -true, but rests merely on tradition, and after ages usually find some -great man as a sponsor for all such innovations. It is clear however -that for many years before 1807 no dealings of Kolis or <span class="corr" id="xd25e35760" title="Source: Rajputs">Rájputs</span> -with the state or with each other took place without the security of a -Bhát being taken. This practice seems to have been as prevalent -on the mainland as in the peninsula, the Kolis having doubtless -borrowed it from their <span class="corr" id="xd25e35763" title="Source: Rajput">Rájput</span> neighbours after the Bháts -had become a separate caste.</p> -<p>Under this system the Bháts acquired considerable wealth, as -they usually demanded a percentage on the amount for which they became -security. There are instances in which they presumed upon the strength -of their engagements and sacred character to bully or dictate to their -employer. Such was the case of the Rával of Bhávnagar in -1808, which is also interesting in another way, as showing how the -spirit of industry and commerce tends to sap the old observances which -have their roots in superstition. This chief engaged in trade, fostered -merchants, and increased his revenue. When his security, a Bhát, -got troublesome and interfering, he applied to the power to whom he -paid tribute to have the old security bond cancelled and a fresh one -taken on his own personal responsibility. In doing this he seems to -have been prompted by nothing but his appreciation of the modern code -of commercial honour.</p> -<p>To return to the <i>mulakgiri</i>. The tribute for which preliminary -security had been taken seems to have fluctuated from year to year, but -always with reference to a fixed standard. It was one of the -Marátha rules never to recede from a former demand lest they -should be thereby setting up a precedent for future years. They -preferred to secure a year or two’s arrears at the full rate to -the payment of all the arrears due at a reduced rate.</p> -<p>In spite of this fiction of a settled <i>jama</i> or tribute, the -Maráthás, when they had a sufficient force at their back, -invariably demanded a larger sum, the excess being called -<i>khará-ját</i> or extra distinct from the actual -tribute. This ingenious plan of increasing the collections originated, -it is said, with Shivrám Gárdi, and was carried out -scrupulously by both Bábáji and Vithalráv in their -tours. In fact during the last few years of the old system -Vithalráv had so good a force with him that the extra demand -formed a large proportion of the whole tribute collected and had been -paid only under strong protest. <span class="marginnote">British -Intervention.</span>The British had not long been established in -Ránpur, Gogha, and Dhandhuka before a few petty chiefs of -Gohilvád and Sorath applied to the Resident at Baroda for -protection against the mulakgiri of the Nawáb of <span class="corr" id="xd25e35784" title="Source: Júnágaḍh">Junágaḍh</span> and -the Rával of Bhávnagar, offering to cede the sovereignty -of their states to the British on condition that certain rights and -privileges were preserved to the chiefs and their families.

The proposals had, however, the effect of drawing the -attention of the Bombay Government towards the state of -Káthiáváḍa, and permission to aid the -mulakgiri of the Gáikwár by detaching a few companies of -British troops was accorded by the Supreme Government. The outbreak of -hostilities with Sindia led to the whole question as to the best means -of collecting the tribute being for a time deferred. The internal -disputes of some of the more turbulent states, a few years afterwards, -gave the Resident an opportunity of sending an envoy to one or two -courts to see how matters stood, and to open a way for a settlement in -conjunction with the Gáikwár. Affairs at Baroda, as -mentioned above (page 416), detained the Resident there till 1807, in -which year he joined Vithalráv’s army with a British -contingent, at a place in the Morvi state.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Settlement of 1807.</span>Before treating -directly with the chiefs a circular was sent round to all of them both -by the Gáikwár’s agent and by Colonel Walker the -Resident, containing the basis of the proposals with regard to the -tribute about to be submitted to them. The position of the British -Government throughout this negotiation is not clearly defined. -Vithalráv in his circular mentions indeed that a British force -was with his own, but urges the chiefs to come to a settlement entirely -with the government he represented. Colonel Walker’s note was -longer, more explicit, and conciliatory, but at the same time assumes a -tone of protection and superiority. The replies of the chiefs were -various, and, as a rule, seem to show that they regarded the British -Government as the chief mover in these negotiations. They were probably -aware of the position in which the engagements of the -Gáikwár had placed him with reference to the British, and -for some years had had the latter as their neighbours in the east of -the peninsula. They were therefore not able at once to take in the -whole scope of the action of the British Government in the tribute -question.</p> -<p>Many seemed to take the note as a preliminary to a mulakgiri on the -part of the East India Company. The Rája of Mália, who -had just been causing disturbances in the dominions of all his -neighbours, had repulsed Bábáji and permitted the -self-immolation of a Bhát rather than fulfil an engagement, -openly proposed a joint expedition across the Ran to plunder Kachh and -Sindh. From the inquiries made by the Resident and from information -gathered from the Gáikwár’s accounts, it was -anticipated that separate engagements need only be entered into with -the twenty-nine chiefs to whom the circular invitation had been issued, -provided that the rights and interests of subordinate members of the -Bháyád were clearly defined in the agreement. When, -however, these rights came to be investigated in the light of the -peculiar rules of <span class="corr" id="xd25e35808" title="Source: Rajput">Rájput</span> inheritance, it was found that no -less than one hundred and fifty-three persons had a claim to settle -independently of each other for their tribute. This greatly prolonged -the settlement, but at last the agreements were all framed on one -principle. The amount settled was determined by a close scrutiny of the -collections of past years, and Colonel Walker found it advisable to -make great <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb423" href="#pb423" name="pb423">423</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> reductions in the item of -extras or <i>kharáját</i>, for which the later -Gáekwár collectors had such predilection. The engagements -were of the following nature.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Settlement of 1807.<br> -<i>Financial.</i></span>First, the chief bound himself his heirs and -successors to pay at Baroda each year the tribute fixed in perpetuity -in 1807. He also procured a counter security for this payment who -engaged himself in this capacity for ten years. The Honourable -Company’s government had then to become security on the part of -the Gáikwár for the fixity of the tribute demanded. This -participation of the British in the engagement was insisted upon by the -chiefs, and in all probability Colonel Walker was not averse from -admitting it. Having thus arranged for the payment of the tribute and -guaranteed the amount to be demanded, it was proposed to take measures -to prevent internal quarrels between the chiefs themselves. The object -of a fixed settlement was simply to remove the necessity for -overrunning the country from time to time with an irregular army and to -protect the chiefs against extortion. It was found that if the army of -the paramount power were removed, all means of keeping order in the -province would be lost, and the internecine feuds of the chiefs would -soon destroy the good effects of the permanent settlement by materially -altering the then existing position of the weaker feudatories and -rendering them unable to pay the tribute. It was also the wish of the -British Government to bring about such a state of things in -Káthiáváḍa that the presence of an army to -control the chiefs would be wholly uncalled-for and that the chiefs -themselves would co-operate to keep order and maintain the permanent -settlement.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote"><i>Political.</i></span>A second agreement -therefore was called for from each signatory state of the nature of a -security for good and peaceful conduct. The counter security to this -was usually that of another chief. This bond was perpetual. On the -execution of both these engagements the chief received a -<i>parvána</i> or guarantee that the Gáikwár -government would not take from him more than the tribute agreed upon, -and to this deed the countersignature of the Resident on behalf of the -British Government was affixed. This guarantee, like the promise of the -chief himself, was apparently given in perpetuity. It will be noted -that the amount of tribute was fixed permanently, but that it was -considered advisable to renew the security every ten years. It is also -remarkable that, except in the <i>failzámin</i> or bond for good -behaviour, the name of the Peshwa’s government, the rights of -which over the tribute had only been temporarily alienated, does not -appear. The total amount of the tribute thus settled was <abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 9,79,882.</p> -<p>By means of these engagements the relations of the tributaries to -their paramount power were made a matter of contract, instead of as -heretofore a series of uncertain and arbitrary exactions dependent upon -the respective means of coercion and resistance.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Peshwa’s Share in -Káthiáváḍa.</span>Seven years of the lease -granted to the Gáikwár in 1804 by the Peshwa still -remained unexpired and during at least six of these <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb424" href="#pb424" name="pb424">424</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -Peshwa’s Share in Káthiáváḍa.</span> -the arrangements that had been made about the -Káthiáváḍa tribute do not seem to have been -officially communicated to the Peshwa’s government. It was not -until 1815, when the Resident at Poona was trying to procure the -renewal of the lease for the Gáikwár, that an account of -the settlement was drawn up in a draft agreement which the Resident -submitted to Bájiráv. In this draft the curious mistake -was made of mentioning the settlement instead of only the security bond -as decennial. The Peshwa, whose policy was to protract negotiations, -submitted in his turn a second draft which he said he was willing to -sign. In this he seized at once on the supposition that the tribute was -fixed only for ten years and stipulated for an increase at the -expiration of that period. He also demanded that certain extra -collections should be refunded by the Gáikwár, and -assumed the British Government to have become security for the tribute -owed by the chiefs to his own government.</p> -<p>It was evident that no accord would be reached on the lines of -either of these draft agreements as they stood. Before others were -prepared, Gangádhar Shástri had been murdered and the -treaty of June 1817 was a completed act, leaving further negotiations -unnecessary.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Later Arrangements.</span>Meanwhile the -tribute since the expiry of the farm of 1804 had been collected by a -joint British and Gáikwár expedition, for it was found -that partly from their own disputes and partly owing to the instigation -of the agents of Bájiráv, the chiefs were little disposed -to act up to the engagements of 1807, either with respect to tribute or -good conduct. The Peshwa, whose interference in the affairs of the -peninsula had been constantly discouraged, declined to trouble himself -to collect the tribute, the responsibility of which he asserted rested -entirely upon the British and Gáikwár governments. He -subsequently ceded the tribute to the British Government on account of -military expenses. After his fall in 1819 his territories, including -the rights in Gujarát, fell to the British Government, and in -1820 the Gáikwár arranged that the whole of the -Káthiáváḍa tribute, except that due from the -districts directly subordinate to Baroda, should be collected by the -agency of the British.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Mahi Kántha.</span>Turning to -the events on the mainland, we find that soon after Colonel -Walker’s return from the Káthiáváḍa -expedition, he introduced the Káthiáváḍa -tribute system into the Mahi Kántha, in spite of the opposition -of Sitárám Rávji and the anti-English party in the -Darbár.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Supplementary Treaty, 1808.</span>The -territory ceded for the payment of the British contingent in 1805 was -found to yield less revenue than had been anticipated, so in 1808 a -treaty supplementary to the consolidating one of 1805 was drawn up, -allotting additional assignments amounting to about 1,76,168 rupees to -the British. This revenue was derived partly from alienated villages in -Naḍiád, Mahudha, Dholka, Mátar, and near the Ranjar -Ghát. The <i>ghásdána</i> or tribute of -Bhávnagar was also made over by this agreement. With regard to -this latter <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb425" href="#pb425" name="pb425">425</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.</span> acquisition, it is to be -noticed that the agreement is drawn up in the name of the Honourable -Company alone, and not in that of the British Government on account of -Ánandráv Gáikwár. It also differs from -other engagements of a similar nature in containing a provision against -the contingency of future irregular demands being made by the -Peshwa’s army. The reason for this distinction is evidently that -the Bhávnagar contribution was not part of the -Káthiáváḍa revenue farmed to the -Gáikwár by Bájiráv, and was thus not -divisible on the expiration of the lease. The right to this tribute -rested with the British by virtue of the previous cession of Gogha, of -which sub-division the fifty nine villages of the Bhávnagar -Bháyád formed part.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Okhámandal, 1809.</span>Next year -the Okhámandal chiefs, who had not come under the settlement of -1807, were driven to engage not to continue their piratical -depredations along the coast, and to admit one Sundarji Shivji as -Resident on behalf of the British Government. The Gáikwár -government then, too, seems to have become their counter security, an -arrangement which led to misunderstandings a short while -afterwards.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Disturbances in -Káthiáváḍa, 1811.</span>In 1811, some -disturbances in Navánagar and Junágaḍh and symptoms -of discontent in Okhámandal took the Resident from Baroda into -the peninsula with part of the British contingent.</p> -<p>The Jám of Navánagar had got involved in pecuniary -transactions with the Ráv of Kachh, and the British Government -had mediated with a view of arranging for the repayment by gradual -instalments. The Jám, however, repudiated all the engagements of -1807 both as regards the debt and the tribute, ejected the -Gáikwár’s agent from his dominions, and prepared -for war. He also began to incite the neighbouring chiefs to join in -sweeping out the paramount power from the whole of -Káthiáváḍa. It was not till after a -considerable show of force that he laid down his arms and came to -terms. Captain Carnac, the Resident, got him to submit the Kachh claims -to the arbitration of the English Government, and after fixing them at -<abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 4,33,830, Captain Carnac made an -arrangement similar to that originally intended.</p> -<p>There remained the question of a disputed succession in -Junágaḍh.

On -the other hand there had been at least six intermediate compacts -between the Peshwa and various members of the Gáikwár -family. Amongst others was that of 1768 fixing the arrears of the -previous three years, that of 1778 and of 1781, by the tenth clause of -which Fatehsingh was excused payment of arrears for the time during -which he was engaged in hostilities against Rághobá. Then -came the agreement with Govindráv in 1797, to which a sort of -debit and credit account is appended.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Peshwa Intrigue in Baroda, 1814.</span>The -Peshwa had been content, for reasons that have been shown above, to let -these claims lie dormant during the currency of the ten years’ -farm. But, as the question of the renewal of this agreement became -imminent, he gradually opened more frequent communications with the -Baroda council, using these claims as a pretext for sounding the -disposition of the chief officials and ascertaining their feelings -especially towards the British Government. When the negotiations for -the settlement of these claims were fairly set on foot, he used every -possible means to protract them till he had finally decided what he -should do in 1814, when the Ahmedábád farm expired.</p> -<p>It was easy for Bájiráv to discover who were the -malcontents at the Baroda Court. Sitárám, the adopted son -of Rávji Áppáji, having been found both -incompetent and untrustworthy in the management of affairs, had been -practically removed from any post of influence in the council, and was -moreover chafing at the refusal of the British Government to recognize -him in the same way as they had done his father. He had also been -superseded as Suba of Káthiáváḍa by -Vithalráv Deváji. Under these circumstances, and finding -that he had the support of a large number of the older court party -against the authority of the Resident and of his native agent, he -either himself opened communications with Bájiráv or -readily listened to the counsels sent to him direct from Poona. Before -long, agents were sent to the Peshwa’s Court by Takhtbái, -wife of Ánandráv, with instructions, it is supposed, to -thwart all the proposals and designs of Gangádhar -Shástri, who had been recently sent as envoy by the -Gáikwár council of administration. The chief obstacle to -the settlement of the Peshwa’s claims was the counter-demand made -by the Baroda government on account of Broach, which had been disposed -of without the Gáikwár’s consent, and also on -account of the damage caused by the inroads of Ába Shelukar, -when accredited agent of Bájiráv in Gujarát.</p> -<p>There is no need to detail here the events that took place in Poona -during these negotiations. On the expiration of the farm in 1814, -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb427" href="#pb427" name="pb427">427</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -Peshwa Intrigue in Baroda, 1814.</span> Bájiráv appointed -Trimbakji Dengle Sarsuba of Ahmedábád. The latter, -however, did not leave Poona, where his presence was indispensable to -his master, but sent agents with instructions rather of a political -than of a fiscal nature. He himself undertook the task of disposing of -Gangádhar Shástri, whom he caused to be assassinated at -Pandharpur in July 1815.</p> -<p>Meanwhile the Jám of Navánagar had died leaving a -disputed succession. The chief’s Khavás or family slaves, -instigated probably by agents from Ahmedábád, began to -usurp the government, and the whole question was submitted by the -Darbár to the Peshwa as being lord paramount. The -Ahmedábád commander sent a body of two hundred cavalry to -Navánagar, but before they could arrive, the -Khavás’ revolt had been quelled by a British force -detached from the contingent. They therefore dispersed through the -province inciting discontent and revolt amongst the Játs and -Káthis. In Kaira they instigated a tribe of Kolis to attack the -British lines by night. Sitárám Rávji’s -adherents also collected a force at Dhár, a state well-known for -lending itself for such purposes, and kept the frontier in confusion. -Severe measures at Poona and Baroda soon put an end to this state of -things, and at last Trimbakji Dengle was surrendered to the British -Government to answer for his share in the murder of Gangádhar -Shástri. The discussion of the Gáikwár’s -debts, however, was carried on all through the year at Poona, whilst -Bájiráv was maturing his then vacillating plans for -extirpating the British from the west of India.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Okhámandal ceded to the -Gáikwár.</span>In 1816 the chiefs of Okhámandal -again betook themselves to piracy. Their territory was occupied by a -British force. It will be remembered that in 1809 the -Gáikwár’s government had become counter security -for these chiefs, but owing to the distance of the district from a -military post, the Baroda authorities found themselves unable to spare -troops enough to put a check on the misconduct of their tributaries. In -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1816, at the time of occupation, the -Bombay Government informed the Baroda administration that they had no -wish to permanently establish themselves at so distant a spot, which -contained, moreover, a much frequented shrine of Hindu worship, and -that they were willing to put the Gáikwár in possession -if he would engage to keep up a sufficient force in the district to -protect the neighbouring ports and shores from the pirates and wreckers -that infested the island of Dwárká and the adjoining -mainland. The Bombay Government made a point of asserting on this -occasion, in opposition apparently to some proposal by the Baroda -Darbár, that they could not admit that the mere fact of having -become security or counter-security gave any preferential right to the -possession of the country.

The escape of Trimbakji Dengle from -Thána, and the subsequent attempts of the Peshwa to prevent the -re-capture of his favourite and to re-unite the Marátha -confederacy, led to the execution of a fresh treaty on June 13th, 1817, -in accordance with the orders of the Supreme Government.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Treaty of Poona, 1817.</span>It was -intended to bind the Peshwa in such a way that he could never again -enjoy the ascendancy amongst the Marátha chiefs to which he -aspired. The Resident at Poona took this opportunity of also putting an -end to the discussions about the mutual claims on each other by the -Poona and Baroda governments. The Peshwa agreed to abandon all claims -on any territory in possession of the Gáikwár and to -accept an annual payment of four lákhs of rupees in satisfaction -of all previous debts. The farm of Gujarát was made perpetual to -the Gáikwár on the payment of four and a half -lákhs annually, but the Káthiáváḍa -tribute was made over to the British Government in liquidation of -military expenses. The latter Government, by this treaty, also entered -into possession of the Peshwa’s revenue in Gujarát, except -that of Ulpád, which had been assigned to a favourite officer. -All the Peshwa’s rights north of the Narbada were also ceded.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Treaty with the Gáikwár, -1817–18.</span>These conditions necessitated a readjustment of -the agreements with the Gáikwár.

The force -furnished by the former state was found inefficient and the employment -of a larger body of British troops was therefore necessary. To pay for -these the Gáikwár ceded his share in the fort of -Ahmedábád and the districts immediately surrounding that -city.<a class="noteref" id="n428.1src" href="#n428.1" name="n428.1src">17</a> He also made over some districts near Surat, and the -town of Umreth in Kaira with the whole of the rights acquired by the -perpetual farm of Ahmedábád.

A similar arrangement was made with regard to the Mahi -Kántha, where the effects of the settlement of 1811 had been -much weakened by the disorderly conduct of the -Gáikwár’s troops stationed there. The -administration of nearly the whole of the province passed into the -hands of the British and the period of Marátha ascendancy came -to an end.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">General Review.</span>It remains to review -generally the nature and characteristics of the Marátha -connection with Gujarát, the chief events in which have been -chronicled above. The most prominent feature has already been indicated -at the beginning of this section and is apparent throughout the whole -narrative. It is, in fact, the small space in history occupied during -this period by the people, compared with the share appropriated to the -actions of the government and its delegates. The reasons for this are -as easily seen as the fact itself. From first to last the -Marátha interests in Gujarát were, except at one or two -special junctures, simply pecuniary ones. In comparison with other -countries within reach of Marátha arms, Gujarát has -always had a very large proportion of inhabitants engaged in commerce -and manufacturing industries. It was the object of Śiváji -to get as much booty as he could and carry it away then and there; -hence the commercial classes and manufacturers presented the most -favourable opportunities for pillage, and the agriculturists were at -first only mulcted in forage and provisions. Rapidity of action was -another of Śiváji’s aims, so not only were his visits -short and their effects transitory, but all his booty consisted of -property that could be carried away by his horsemen. No women or -followers accompanied his expeditions, no prisoners were made excepting -the few who could afford to pay a heavy ransom. Torture was resorted to -only when the captive was suspected of having concealed his treasure. -Cows women and cultivators were, according to -Śiváji’s system, exempted from capture. Assignments -on revenue were seldom made by him for fear of weakening his own -authority. Subsequently the Marátha demands became more regular -and assumed the form of a certain proportion of the revenue. The -<i>sar-deshmukhi</i> and <i>chauth</i> were supposed to be calculated -on the standard assessment so as to avoid subsequent claims as tribute -or over-collection. In reality, however, they consisted of a fixed -share in actual collections together with whatever extras the officer -in charge could manage to extort, and which were, of course, kept -undefined in any agreement. The expeditions, too, moved more leisurely -and in greater force. The passes and roads in their rear were protected -by their own comrades, so that the booty could be brought to the Dakhan -in carts, and more bulky property therefore was removed than in former -times. The times, too, when the demands were likely to be made were -known to the headmen of the district and village, so that the -cultivators could be pressed beforehand to furnish their share of the -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb430" href="#pb430" name="pb430">430</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -General Review.</span> contributions. The extortion by this means -passed from the commercial classes down to the agriculturists, the -latter having also the burden of supporting a larger and more cumbrous -army for a longer period.</p> -<p>When the power of the Dábháde and his deputy the -Gáikwár was fairly established, a regular system of -administration was introduced. It will be remembered that by the treaty -of 1729 as few Marátha officers were to be employed as possible -beyond those necessary to collect the Dábháde’s -share of the revenue. In consequence, however, of the internal -struggles of the Muhammadan chiefs, this minimum quota grew to be a -large establishment, with the usual accompaniment of alienations and -assignments for the support of the officers and their religious -institutions which the weakness of the central power had allowed to -become customary. The Dábháde himself was non-resident -and his deputy usually being too valuable an assistant to be spared -from the arena of Dakhan politics, the collection was left to -sub-deputies and their subordinates, who in turn delegated a great part -of their duties to village officers and even to strangers. The -Dábhádes, who were throughout more interested in the -Dakhan than in Gujarát, had, no doubt, an idea of raising up a -power in the latter province in opposition to the administration of the -Peshwa, which was conducted purely by Bráhman agency. It was -soon evident, however, that all that could be done politically with -Gujarát was to make it a treasury for the support of schemes -that had to be carried out in the Dakhan.</p> -<p>The fertility of the soil and the facilities the country afforded -for commerce and manufactures both tended to make it unlikely to become -a field for recruiting. The inhabitants of the towns had fixed and -lucrative occupations; the cultivators were mostly of a class which on -account of the fertility of their land neither Muhammadan nor -Marátha had been able to impoverish. The Maráthás -had still to seek for soldiers in the rugged and barren country on the -Gháts and in the Konkan, where the people could only look for a -hand-to-mouth existence if they remained at home. The warlike tribes of -Gujarát were, as has been already seen, too proud by birth and -position to engage themselves to fight for any but their own race and -interest. The aboriginal races were not likely to prove effective -allies even if they had been willing to move from their own woods and -fortresses.

All that they -endeavoured to do was to draw from their charge as much revenue as -possible and to keep out interlopers. To the taxpayer the result was -the same, whether his district was invaded by Kantáji or -Piláji.

In the north, however, -the Girásiás were landowners of great influence and fixed -residence, not likely to be conciliated by the knowledge that the -invaders of their country classed them along with Bhils and Kolis as -<i>mehvásis</i> or outlaws.</p> -<p>In order to relieve the chief officials of direct responsibility for -the revenue, the Gáikwár towards the last quarter of the -eighteenth century if not before, introduced the system of letting out -each revenue sub-division in farm for from one to five years at a fixed -annual rate. The farmer was as often as not an absentee, but the -supervision and administration were never entrusted to any one but a -Marátha Bráhman. The revenue for the year was settled by -an inspection of the accounts of previous years and the crops of each -village. The amount was taken in kind, but the actual distribution of -the whole on individual cultivators was left to the headman, who was in -most cases made responsible for the assessment imposed on his -village.</p> -<p>The frequent passages of hostile armies and other causes had left -much culturable land a desert. In order to restore the population and -induce colonists to settle and cultivate in such spots, leases on -favourable terms were granted to desáis, who administered the -land as they pleased, and were directly responsible to the head revenue -authority of the sub-division for the annual rent. The patels and other -village officials also made use of their position with reference to the -foreign supervisors in appropriating large tracts of waste land to -their own uses. The <i>kamávísdár</i> or farmer -for the time being was interested only in recouping himself for the -<span class="corr" id="xd25e36101" title="Source: amout">amount</span> -he had agreed to pay the Marátha government, together with a -margin for bribes paid to underlings at head-quarters for good offices -with regard to the farm. He was ready, therefore, to make use of any -agency in collecting his revenue that he found effective, and which -saved the cost of a personal establishment. In many parts of the -country there were hereditary village headmen accustomed to the duty of -extorting money from unwilling ryots. In other places, such for -instance as Dholka, it had been customary for certain Muhammadans -called Kasbátis, to become responsible for the revenue of -certain villages in return for a discount on the <i>jama</i> or amount -collected (<i>manoti</i>). These <i>manotidárs</i> were found so -useful by the Marátha officials that they gradually acquired an -hereditary position and claimed proprietary rights in the villages for -which they had been formerly mere agents for collection. They also -acted as <i>desáis</i> or colonists, and succeeded in getting -their leases of certain tracts renewed long after they had ceased to -actively improve the land, which had in fact been all brought under -regular cultivation.</p> -<p>Such was the agency employed in administering the revenue. The -<i>kamávísdár</i> was also the dispenser of -justice both civil and criminal. As his object was to make money and -not to improve the condition of his charge, his punishments consisted -chiefly in fines, and most offences could be paid for. No record of -trials was <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb432" href="#pb432" name="pb432">432</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">The Maráthás</span>, <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1760–1819.<br> -General Review.</span> kept except a memorandum of the amount passed at -each decision to the credit of the farmer. In civil suits sometimes -one-fourth of the amount in dispute was assigned as costs and -appropriated by the court. The Girásiás in their own -territory exercised somewhat similar jurisdiction, but grave crimes -with violence were apparently left to the party injured or his -relations to decide after the manner of the offence. Arbitration, too, -was a frequent mode of deciding differences of both civil and criminal -nature, but the <i>kamávísdár</i> or -<i>girásiá</i> usually managed that the State should not -be a loser by such a method of settlement.</p> -<p>The whole system indicates clearly enough the slight hold the -Maráthás had on the province and their desire to make the -most out of it for the furtherance of court intrigues or political ends -above the Gháts. There is nothing to show that they contemplated -a permanent colonization of the country until the British Government -undertook the task of dividing the Marátha nation by the -establishment of a powerful and independent court at Baroda.</p> -<p>The home of the Maráthás was always the Dakhan, and -for many years after they had effected a lodgment in Gujarát, -their army regularly returned for the rainy season to the country from -whence they originally came. Their leaders were encouraged to be as -much as possible near the court by the Dábháde, or the -regent on the one side and by the Peshwa on the other: the former on -account of their weight with the army and the Marátha chiefs, -the latter in order that their influence in a distant dependency might -not grow beyond what prudence recommended or might be counteracted if -its tendency to increase became manifest. For similar reasons no force -was allowed to be maintained in Gujarát sufficient to -consolidate the Marátha acquisitions there into a manageable -whole. Dámáji Gáikwár, had he lived, would -undoubtedly have done much towards this end by means of his personal -influence; but, as it happened, the thin crust of Marátha -domination rapidly disappeared before it either was assimilated into -the system of the province or hardened over it. A military occupation -of a large and civilised district at a distance from the -mother-country, and prevented by the jealousy of the central authority -and the short-sightedness of those in charge of its exploitation, from -either conforming itself to the elements it found already established, -or absorbing the vital forces of the government it dispossessed, a -system without the breath of life, without elasticity, without the -capacity of self-direction, imposed bodily upon a foreign people, -without even the care of preparing a foundation, such seems to have -been the Marátha government, containing within itself all that -was necessary to ensure a precarious, but while it lasted, an -oppressive existence.</p> -</div> -<div class="footnotes"> -<hr class="fnsep"> -<div class="footnote-body"> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n386.1" -href="#n386.1src" name="n386.1">1</a></span> Surat was known as -Báb-ul-makkah or the Gate of Makka on account of its being the -starting place of the ships annually conveying the Muhammadan pilgrims -of India to the shrine of their Prophet. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n386.1src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n388.1" -href="#n388.1src" name="n388.1">2</a></span> <i>Sardeshmukhi</i> or ten -per cent on the revenue.

The story of the -greased cartridges had been industriously repeated and found credulous -listeners in every village. A similar incident occurred in -Gujarát. A consignment of salt from the Ran of Kachh having been -carried in bags which had previously held red ochre (<i>sindur</i>) had -become discoloured. This was observed at Sádra in the Mahi -Kántha as the salt was in transit to <span class="corr" id="xd25e36196" title="Source: Rajputána">Rájputána</span>, and a report -was at once spread that the salt had been defiled with cow’s -blood. It was believed in Ahmedábád and throughout -Gujarát that this was a device of the British Government to -destroy the caste of the people as a preliminary to their forcible -conversion to Christianity.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Passing of the Pariah Dog.</span>About -the time that the cakes or <i>chapátis</i> were being circulated -throughout the North-West of India, a common pariah dog was passed from -village to village in the Panch Maháls and eastern -Gujarát. It was never ascertained who first set the dog in -motion, but it came from the Central India frontier with a basket of -food which was given to the village dogs, and a similar supply with the -dog was forwarded to the next village. When pestilence or other -calamity threatens an Indian village, it is the custom to take a goat -or a buffalo to the boundary and drive it into the lands of the -adjoining village, in the hope that it will avert evil from the -community. A similar belief prevailed among the Jews. There is no -reason to suppose that this movement of the dog in Gujarát was a -signal of revolt or had any deeper political significance than a vague -feeling that troublous times were approaching. Still it was by many -regarded as an evil omen and created considerable alarm.<a class="noteref" id="n433.1src" href="#n433.1" name="n433.1src">1</a> -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb434" href="#pb434" name="pb434">434</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">Gujarát Disturbances</span>, -1857–1859.</span> <span class="marginnote">Gold -Hoarding.</span>Although Gujarát was apparently tranquil in the -hot season of 1857, those who were most familiar with native opinion -were aware of the existence of very serious discontent, and indications -of the storm which lowered on the horizon were not wanting. When -disturbances are impending natives invariably convert their savings -into gold, because gold is more portable and more easily concealed than -silver. A sudden and unusual demand for gold in the markets, especially -by the native troops, had been observed. This fall of the political -barometer should never be disregarded. It indicates the approach of a -storm with great certainty.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Seditious Native Press.</span>The native -press, which had been merely disloyal, now assumed an attitude of -decided hostility. Every paper contained the most exaggerated accounts -of the massacre of Europeans in the North-West Provinces, and absurd -rumours were circulated of the approach of a combined Russian and -Persian army, which, it was said, had reached Attok and would shortly -invade Hindustán. It is much to be regretted that the measures -which were found necessary in 1880 for the suppression of seditious -publications were not enforced in 1857. Had this been done much evil -would have been averted. The native mind would not have become familiar -with the spectacle of the British Government held up to the execration -and contempt of its subjects and the vilest motives attributed to every -public measure.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Maulvi Saráj-ud-din.</span>The -native press was not the only source of sedition. The fall of the -British Government was openly predicted in every masjid, and in -Ahmedábád a Maulvi named Saráj-ud-din became -especially prominent by preaching a <i>jehád</i> in the -Jáma Masjid to audiences of native officers and -<i>savárs</i> of the Gujarát Horse and troops from the -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb435" href="#pb435" name="pb435">435</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">Gujarát Disturbances</span>, -1857–1859.</span> Ahmedábád cantonment. The Maulvi -was expelled from Ahmedábád and found his way to Baroda, -where he was afterwards arrested; but the impunity he so long enjoyed -brought great discredit upon Government, for it was very naturally -supposed that a government which tamely submitted to be publicly -reviled was too weak to resent the indignity. Oriental races are so -accustomed to violent measures that they seldom appreciate moderation -or forbearance. The generation that had known and suffered from the -anarchy of the Peshwa had passed away. The seditious language of the -native press and the masjid was addressed to a population too ignorant -to understand the latent power of the British Government.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Apparent Weakness of British Rule.</span>In -1857 the immense continent of Hindustán was governed by what -appeared to the people to be a few Englishmen unsupported by troops, -for they knew that the native army was not to be depended on, and the -European troops were so few that they were only seen in the larger -military cantonments. It must have seemed an easy task to dispose of -such a handful of men, and it probably never occurred to those who took -part in the insurrection that the overthrow of the British Government -would involve more serious operations than the capture or murder of the -Europeans who governed the country so easily. They could not perceive -that England would never submit to a defeat, and that the handful of -men who ruled India were supported by the whole power of the nation. -The plotters had no very definite ideas for the future. The -Musalmáns regarded the subversion of a government of -Káfirs as a triumph of Islám, and both Muslims and Hindus -looked forward to a period of anarchy during which they might indulge -that appetite for plunder which had been restrained for so many years. -The descendants of the feudal aristocracy of the Peshwa are an ignorant -and improvident race deeply involved in debt. They could not fail to -see that under the operation of our laws their estates were rapidly -passing into the possession of the more intelligent mercantile classes, -and they hoped to recover their position in the revolution that was -about to ensue.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Administrative Defects.</span>A great -change had taken place in the character of the administration. The -civilians of the school of Duncan, Malcolm, and Mountstuart -Elphinstone, though not deeply learned in the law, were accomplished -earnest men, sufficiently acquainted with the unalterable principles of -right and wrong to administer substantial justice to a simple people -who had not yet learnt the art of lying. The people asked for justice -rather than law. They were satisfied with the justice they obtained -from the able and upright men who ruled this country during the first -half of this century. The writings and official reports of the officers -of that period indicate a knowledge of native customs and feelings and -a sympathy with the people that is unknown in the present day, for -knowledge and sympathy cannot be acquired except by a long and familiar -residence amongst the people which is now becoming every year more -impossible. When the overland route rendered communication with England -more easy and frequent, a reaction set in against patriarchal -administration. Concubinage with native women, which had been common, -was now declared vulgar, if not immoral; and the <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb436" href="#pb436" name="pb436">436</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">Gujarát Disturbances</span>, -1857–1859.</span> relations between Europeans and Natives soon -became less cordial than they had been during the early period of -British rule. About this time a considerable immigration of lawyers -appeared in India. <span class="marginnote">The Courts -Disliked.</span>These briefless gentlemen, envious of the official -monopoly of the Civil Service, raised an outcry that justice was being -administered by men who had not acquired that knowledge of law which -the formality of eating a certain number of dinners at the Temple was -supposed to guarantee. They worked the press so industriously to this -cry, that in the course of a few years they had succeeded in impressing -their views on the Court of Directors in London and on the less -intelligent members of the Civil Service in India.</p> -<p>Unfortunately the Sadar Court was then presided over by a succession -of feeble old gentlemen who had not sufficient force of character to -resist this selfish agitation, and by way of refuting the charge of -ignorance of law devoted themselves to the study of those petty -technicalities which have so often brought the administration of -justice into contempt, and which the progress of law reform has not -even now removed from the law of England. In 1827, Mountstuart -Elphinstone had enacted a Civil and Criminal Code which was still the -substantive law of the land. It was simple and admirably suited to the -people, but justice was administered according to the spirit rather -than the letter of the law. A district officer would have incurred -severe censure if his decisions were found to be inequitable, however -they might have been supported by the letter of the law. The national -character for even-handed justice had made the English name respected -throughout India and far across the steppes of Central Asia. But the -demoralizing example of the Sadar Adálat soon extended to the -lower grades of the service. The Civil Service was afflicted with the -foolishness which, we are told, precedes ruin. Its members diligently -searched their law-books for precedents and cases, and rejoiced -exceedingly if they could show their knowledge of law by reversing the -decision of a lower Court on some long-forgotten ruling of the Courts -of Westminster. The first effect of this evil was to fill the courts -with corrupt and unprincipled <i>vakils</i> who perverted the course of -justice by perjury, forgery, and fraud of every description. Litigation -increased enormously, no cause was too rotten, no claim too fraudulent -to deprive it of the chance of success. The grossest injustice was -committed in the name of the law, and though the Civil Service was -above all suspicion of corruption, the evil could hardly have been -greater if the Judges had been corrupt. This state of affairs gave rise -to great discontent, for the administration of justice fell almost -entirely into the hands of the <i>vakils</i>. When men quarrelled they -no longer said, “I’ll beat or I’ll kill you,” -but “I’ll pay a <i>vakil</i> <abbr title="Rupees">Rs.</abbr> 50 to ruin you,” and too often this was no -mere idle threat.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Inám Commission.</span>The -operations of the Inám Commission and of the Survey Department -were also a fruitful cause of alarm and discontent. Many of the estates -of the more influential Jághírdárs had been -acquired by fraud or violence during the period of anarchy which -preceded the fall of the Peshwa. The Patels and Deshmukhs had also -appropriated large areas of lands and had made grants of villages to -temples and assignments of revenue to Bráhmans, religious -mendicants, and dancing <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb437" href="#pb437" name="pb437">437</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">Gujarát Disturbances</span>, -1857–1859.<br> -The Inám Commission.</span> girls. The Peshwa had never -recognized these alienations as any limitation of his rights, for he -farmed his revenues, and so long as a large sum was paid into his -treasury by the farmers it was immaterial to him how much land was -alienated. But when the Survey Department revealed the fact that nearly -a fourth part of the fertile province of Gujarát was -unauthorizedly enjoyed by these parasites; and that in other districts -the proportion of alienations was nearly equally large, a due regard -for the public interests demanded that there should be an investigation -into the title on which the lands were held rent-free. It became the -duty of the Inám Commission to make this inquiry, and though a -very small portion of land was resumed or rather assessed to the land -revenue and the rules for the continuation of cash allowances were -extremely liberal, they could hardly be expected to give satisfaction -to those who had so long enjoyed immunity from any share of the public -burdens. The Bráhmans and the priesthood of every sect deeply -resented the scrutiny of the Inám Commission and excited an -intensely fanatical spirit by representing the inquiry as a -sacrilegious attack on their religious endowments and a departure from -the principle of neutrality and toleration which had been the policy of -Government from a very early period.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">The Army Disloyal.</span>Notwithstanding -all these elements of danger there would probably have been no revolt -if the army had remained loyal. Fortunately the Bombay army was -composed of a great variety of races, Musalmáns of the Shia and -Sunni sects, Maráthás of the Dakhan and Konkan, -Parváris, Pardeshis, and a few Jews and Christians. Little -community of sentiment could exist, in so heterogeneous a force, and to -this circumstance we may trace the failure of each mutinous outbreak in -the regiments of the Bombay army. Many of its regiments had, however, -recruited extensively in the North-West Provinces which were then the -centre of the political cyclone, and it was soon discovered that -seditious overtures were being made to them not only by their brethren -in the regiments which had already mutinied, but by discontented -persons of higher rank. <span class="marginnote">Báiza -Bái of Gwálior.</span>The most important of these was a -clever woman known as the Báiza Bái. She was the daughter -of a Dakhan Sardár named Sirji Ráo Ghátke, and had -been married in early life to His Highness Dowlat Ráo Sindia the -Mahárája of Gwálior. On his death she had been -allowed to adopt Jankoji Ráo as heir to the <i>gádi</i>, -and during his minority she had been appointed by the British -Government Regent of the <span class="corr" id="xd25e36338" title="Source: Gwalior">Gwálior</span> state. In this position the -Bái had accumulated great wealth. She had deposited -£370,000 (37 lákhs of rupees) for safe custody in the -treasury at Benares, and it was known that she had other resources at -<span class="corr" id="xd25e36341" title="Source: Gwalior">Gwálior</span>. Her avarice and ambition were -insatiable. She sent emissaries to all the Marátha chiefs and -Thákors in Western India calling on them to take up arms and -restore the empire of Shiváji. She appealed to the troops, -urging them to emulate the deeds of their comrades in the Bengal army -who had already nearly exterminated the Europeans in the North-West, -and warned them that if they did not now strike in defence of their -religion they would shortly be converted to Christianity and made to -drink the blood of the sacred cow.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote">Pársi Riot in Broach, June -1857.</span>In May and June 1857 our troops were fighting before Delhi, -only just holding their own, and making little impression on the walls -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb438" href="#pb438" name="pb438">438</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -<span class="sc">Gujarát Disturbances</span>, -1857–1859.<br> -Pársi Riot in Broach, June 1857.</span> of the city which were -strongly held by the mutinous regiments. Gujarát was still -tranquil.

They were followed by the -Adjutant, Lieutenant Pym, with twelve <i>savárs</i>, and Captain -Taylor, the commandant, joined them soon after with three men of the -Koli Corps, whom he had met on the Dholka road. The -<i>savárs</i> were overtaken near the village of Tájpor, -and having taken up a strong position between three survey -boundary-marks opened fire on their officers and the Kolis, the -<i>savárs</i> standing aloof. After many shots had been -exchanged without result, Captain Taylor advanced to parley, and while -endeavouring to reason with his men was shot through the body. The -Kolis now re-opened fire and having shot two of the -<i>savárs</i> the rest laid down their arms. They were tried -under Act XIV. of 1857 and hanged. The <i>savárs</i> who -followed Lieutenant Pym passively declined to act against their -comrades, and if the Kolis had not been present the mutineers would -have escaped.

The two -Native regiments quartered at Ahmedábád were the 2nd -Regiment of Grenadiers and the 7th Native Infantry. The Grenadiers were -chiefly Pardeshis from Oudh, while the majority of the 7th Regiment -were Maráthás. As is often the case, an enmity sprang up -between the two regiments. One night Captain Muter of the 2nd -Grenadiers was visiting the guards as officer of the day. On -approaching the quarter guard of the 7th Regiment, the sentry demanded -the password which Captain Muter could not give. The sentry very -properly refused to let him pass. Captain Muter returned to his lines, -called out a party of Grenadiers, and made the sentry a prisoner. Next -morning General Roberts put Captain Muter under arrest and released the -sentry. This incident intensified the ill-feeling between the two -regiments, and prevented their combination when the Grenadiers mutinied -a few days later. It had been arranged that the two Native Regiments -and the Golandauz artillery should mutiny at the same time, but there -was mutual distrust between them, and the Native officers of the -artillery had stipulated that they should make a show of resistance in -order to let it appear that they had been overpowered by a superior -force. About midnight on the 14th September 1857 the Grenadiers turned -out and fell in on their parade ground armed and loaded. The guns were -also brought out and loaded on their own parade ground. A Native -officer of the Grenadiers was sent with a party to take possession of -the guns in accordance with the preconcerted agreement, but the -Subhedár of the Artillery threatened to fire on them, and the -Native officer expecting that the guns would be given up without -resistance, <span class="corr" id="xd25e36442" title="Source: tho ught">thought</span> he had been betrayed, and retreated -with his party, who threw away their arms as they ran across the parade -ground. The Grenadiers were under arms on the parade waiting for the -guns, when seeing the disorder in which the party was retreating from -the Artillery lines, they also were seized with a panic and broke up in -confusion. Then for the first time the Native officers reported to -Colonel Grimes that there had been a slight disturbance in the lines. -The mere accident that the Native officer detached to take the guns had -not been informed of the show of resistance he was to expect from the -Artillery, probably averted the massacre of every European in -Gujarát. Twenty-one loaded muskets were found on the parade -ground, and though the whole regiment was guilty it was decided to try -the owners of those muskets by court martial. They were sentenced to -death. As it was doubtful if the Native troops would permit the -execution it was considered prudent to await the arrival of the 89th -Regiment under Colonel Ferryman and Captain Hatch’s battery of -Artillery. They had been landed at Gogha during the monsoon with great -difficulty, and were compelled to make a wide detour to the north owing -to the flooded state of the country. On their arrival the executions -were carried out; five of the mutineers were blown from guns, three -were shot with musketry, and the rest were hanged in the presence of -the whole of the troops.

The whole country was in a very disturbed -state. On the fall of Delhi on September 28th, 1857, a treasonable -correspondence was found between the Nawáb of Rádhanpur -in Gujarát and the Emperor of Delhi, which deeply implicated the -Nawáb. He and his ministers had forwarded -<i>nazránás</i> of gold <i>mohars</i> to Delhi and asked -for orders from the Emperor, offering to attack the British cantonments -at Disa and Ahmedábád. The Nawáb had been on the -most friendly terms with Captain Black the Political Agent, and had -been considered perfectly loyal. Preparations were made to depose him -for this treacherous conduct.

Mustapha -Khán, at the head of a turbulent body of Arabs, had made the -Rája a prisoner in his own palace with a view to extort arrears -of pay and other claims. Lieutenant Alban’s orders were to disarm -the Arabs. After some negotiations Mustapha Khán waited on -Lieutenant Alban. He was attended by the whole of his armed followers -with the matches of their matchlocks alight, thinking no doubt to -intimidate Lieutenant Alban.

While they -were conversing Mustapha Khán seized his sword and Lieutenant -Alban immediately shot him with a revolver.

In India a conspirator’s first impulse is to betray -his associates lest they should anticipate him. The failure of every -mutinous outbreak in Gujarát was due to this moral defect. This -trait may be traced throughout the history of the war and should be -studied by those who advocate the independence of India, and the -capacity of the native for self-government. It is an apt illustration -of native inability to organize combined operations that the most -formidable conspiracy for the subversion of our power should have been -delayed till October 1857. By this time the arrival of Her -Majesty’s 89th Regiment and a battery of European artillery at -Ahmedábád had rendered a successful revolt impossible. -The mutinies of the Gujarát Horse and Grenadiers had been -promptly suppressed and severely punished.

To Bápu -Gáikwár was entrusted the task of tampering with the -troops in Ahmedábád, and frequent meetings of the Native -officers were held at his house every night.

There was, as usual, disunion in the ranks of the -insurgents; they had no leaders they could depend upon, and they -dispersed on hearing of the approach of Ashburner’s force without -firing a shot.

The -chiefs of Jamkhandi and Nárgund had been in treasonable -correspondence with the rebel chiefs in the North-West and had invoked -their aid. It is more than probable that if Tátia Topi had -entered the Dakhan in force, there would have been a general -insurrection of the Marátha population. Tátia’s -march to the Dakhan soon assumed the character of a flight. He was -closely pressed by two columns under Generals Somerset and Mitchell, -and a very compact and enterprizing little field force commanded by -Colonel Park. Colonel Park’s own regiment, the 72nd Highlanders, -many of the men mounted on camels, formed the main fighting power of -this force. His indefatigable energy in the pursuit of the enemy -allowed them no rest, and eventually brought them to bay at Chhota -Udepur. Fearing to face the open country of Berár with such an -uncompromising enemy in pursuit, Tátia recrossed the Narbada at -Chikalda and marched towards Baroda. He had, by means of an agent named -Ganpatráo, for some time been in communication with the -Bháu Sáheb Pavár, a brother-in-law of His Highness -the Gáikwár, and had been led to expect aid from the -Baroda Sardárs and the Thákors of the Kaira and Rewa -Kántha districts. Immediately it became known that Tátia -had crossed the Narbada, troops were put in motion from Kaira, -Ahmedábád, and Disa for the protection of the eastern -frontier of Gujarát. Captain Thatcher, who had succeeded to the -command of the irregular levies raised by Mr. Ashburner in Kaira, was -ordered to hold Sankheda with the irregulars and two of the -Gáikwár’s guns.

He had also been joined by a mixed -rabble of Villáyatis, Rohillás, and Rájputs, who -followed his fortune in hopes of plunder. Ferozsha Nawáb of -Kamona and a Marátha Sardár who was known as the -Ráo Sáheb, held subordinate commands. Each fighting man -was followed by one or more ponies laden with plunder which greatly -impeded their movements. It was chiefly owing to this that Colonel Park -was enabled to overtake the rebels and to force them into action. On -reaching Chhota Udepur the troops of the Rája fraternised with -the enemy, and Captain Collier having evacuated the town, Tátia -Topi was allowed to occupy it without opposition. He had intended to -halt at Chhota Udepur to recruit his men and to develop his intrigues -with the Baroda Sardárs, but Park gave him no respite. On the -1st December 1858, he fell upon Tátia’s rebel force and -defeated it with great slaughter, his own loss being trifling. After -this defeat there was great confusion in the ranks of the insurgents. -Tátia Topi abandoned his army and did not rejoin it till it had -reached the forest lands of Párona. Discipline which had always -been lax, was now entirely thrown aside. The muster roll of one of -Tátia’s cavalry regiments was picked up and showed that -out of a strength of 300 sabres only sixteen were present for duty. The -rebel force separated into two bodies, one doubled back and plundered -Park’s baggage which had fallen far to the rear, the other under -Ferozsha entered the Panch Maháls and looted Báriya, -Jhálod, <span class="corr" id="xd25e36590" title="Source: Limḍi">Limbḍi</span>, and other villages; Godhra -being covered by Muter’s force was not attacked. Park’s -force was so disabled by the plunder of its baggage and by long -continued forced marches, that it was compelled to halt at Chhota -Udepur, but General Somerset took up the pursuit and rapidly drove -Tátia from the Panch Maháls. He fled in the direction of -Salumba. The Thákor of that place was in arms, and Tátia -no doubt expected support from him, but the Thákor was too -cautious to join what was then evidently a hopeless cause. On reaching -Nargad on the 20th February 1859, Ferozsha made overtures of surrender, -and a week later 300 cavalry and a mixed force of 1500 men under Zahur -Ali and the Maulvi Vazir Khán laid down their arms to General -Mitchell.

They were led by a Wágher chief named -Toda Manik, who alleged that he had been compelled to take up arms by -the oppression of the Gáikwár’s -<i>kámdárs</i>; but it is probable that he was encouraged -to throw off allegiance by the weakness of the Baroda administration -and the belief that he would have to deal with the troops of the -Darbár only.

Knowing -how suitable such a rite is to the state of feeling as well as to the -phase of belief prevalent among the plotters of rebellion in Northern -India it seems difficult to suppose that the passing of the cakes and -the passing of the dog were not both sacramental; that is designed to -spread over the country a spirit which had by religious or magical -rites been housed in the dog and in the cakes.

Chuni says; ‘The circulating of cakes was -supposed to foretell disturbance and to imply an invitation to the -people to unite for some secret purpose.’ According to the king -of Delhi’s physician (page 636) some charm attached to the cakes. -The people thought they were made by some adept in the secret arts to -keep unpolluted the religion of the country. Another authority (page -637) says; ‘The first circulation of the cakes was on the -authority of a pandit who said the people would rise in rebellion if -cakes were sent round and that the person in whose name the cakes were -sent would rule India.’ The secret comes out in <span class="corr" id="xd25e36219" title="Source: Sitarám">Sitárám</span> -Báwá’s evidence (pages 646–648); ‘The -cakes in question were a charm or <i>jádu</i> which originated -with Dása Báwa the <i>guru</i> or teacher of Nána -Sáheb. Dása told Nána Sáheb he would make a -charm and as far as the magic cakes should be carried so far should the -people be on his side. He then took lotusseed-dough called -<i>makána</i> and made an idol of it. He reduced the idol to -very small pills and having made an immense number of cakes he put a -pillet in each and said that as far as the cakes were carried so far -would the people determine to throw off the Company’s -yoke.’ With this making of a cake as a sacramental home of Durga -or Káli compare the Buddhist of Tibet offering in a human skull -to the Máháráni or Queen, that is to Durga or -Káli, a sacramental cake made of black-goat’s fat, wine, -dough, and butter.

As to the -effect of sharing in Durga’s mutiny cakes compare the statement -of the Thag Faringia (Sleeman’s Ramaseeana, page 216); The sugar -sacrament, <i>gur-tapávani</i>, changes our nature. Let a man -once taste the sacramental sugar and he will remain a Thag however -skilful a craftsman, however well-to-do. The Urdu proverb says -<i>Tapauni-ki-dhaunika gur jisne kháyá wuh waisá -huá</i> Who eats the sugar of the sacramental Vase as he is so -he remains.

The -site of the city is in a wide plain about fifteen miles west of the -last outlier of the Ábu range. To the east, between the hills -and Bhinmál, except a few widely-separated village sites, the -plain is chiefly a grazing ground with brakes of thorn and cassia -bushes overtopped by standards of the camel-loved <i>pilu</i> Salvadora -persica. To the south, the west, and the north the plain is smooth and -bare passing westwards into sand. From the level of the plain stand out -a few isolated blocks of hill, 500 to 800 feet high, of which one peak, -about a mile west of the city, is crowned by the shrine of -Chámuṇḍa the Śrí or Luck of -Bhinmál. From a distance the present Bhinmál shows few -traces of being the site of an ancient capital. Its 1500 houses cover -the gentle slope of an artificial mound, the level of their roofs -broken by the spires of four Jain temples and by the ruined state -office at the south end of the mound. Closer at hand the number and -size of the old stone-stripped tank and fortification mounds and the -large areas honeycombed by diggers for bricks show that the site of the -present Bhinmál was once the centre of a great and widespread -city. Of its fortifications, which, as late as <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1611, the English merchant Nicholas Ufflet, in a -journey from Jhálor to Ahmedábád, describes as -enclosing a circuit of thirty-six miles (24 <i>kos</i>) containing many -fine tanks going to ruin, almost no trace remains.<a class="noteref" -id="n449.2src" href="#n449.2" name="n449.2src">2</a> The names of some -of the old gates are remembered, Surya in the north-east, -Śrí Lakshmí in the south-east, Sanchor in the west, -and Jhálor in the north.

To the east and south the line of fortification has -been so cleared of masonry and is so confused with the lines of tank -banks, which perhaps were worked into the scheme of defence, that all -accurate local knowledge of their position has passed. The -Gujarát gate in the south of the town though ruined is well -marked. From the Gujarát gateway a line of mounds may be traced -south and then west to the ruins of Pipalduara perhaps the western -gateway. The wall seems then to have turned east crossing the -watercourse and passing inside that is along the east bank of the -watercourse north to the south-west corner of the Jaikop or Yaksha -lake. From this corner it ran east along the south bank of Jaikop to -the Jhálor or north gate which still remains in fair -preservation its pointed arch showing it to be of Musalmán or -late (17th–18th century) Ráhtor construction. From the -Jhálor gate the foundations of the wall may be traced east to -the Kanaksen or Karáda tank. The area to the east of the town -from the Karáda tank to the Gujarát gate has been so -quarried for brick to build the present Bhinmál that no sign -remains of a line of fortifications running from the Karáda tank -in the east to the Gujarát gate in the south.</p> -<p>The site of the present town the probable centre of the old city, is -a mound stretching for about three-quarters of a mile north and south -and swelling twenty to thirty feet out of the plain. On almost all -sides its outskirts are protected by well made thorn fences enclosing -either garden land or the pens and folds of Rabáris and -Bhíls. The streets are narrow and winding. The dwellings are of -three classes, the flat mud-roofed houses of the Mahájans or -traders and of the better-to-do Bráhmans and craftsmen with -canopied doors and fronts plastered with white clay: Second the tiled -sloping-roofed sheds of the bulk of the craftsmen and gardeners and of -the better-off Rabáris and Bhíls: and Third the thatched -bee-hive huts of the bulk of the Rabáris and Bhíls and of -some of the poorer craftsmen and husbandmen. Especially to the -north-west and west the houses are skirted by a broad belt of garden -land. In other parts patches of watered crops are separated by the bare -banks of old tanks or by stretches of plain covered with thorn and -cassia bushes or roughened by the heaps of old buildings honeycombed by -shafts sunk by searchers for bricks.

Of this temple and its -inscriptions details are given below. About fifty yards west of the Sun -temple are the remains of a gateway known as the Gujarát -gateway. This modern name and the presence near it of blocks of the -white quartz-marble of the Sun temple make it probable that the gateway -is not older than Musalmán or eighteenth century Ráhtor -times. Close to the west of the gate is Khári Báva the -Salt Well an old step and water-bag well with many old stones mixed -with brick work. About a hundred yards south of the Gujarát -gate, in a brick-walled enclosure about sixteen yards by eight and nine -feet high topped by a shield parapet, is the shrine of Mahádeva -Naulákheshwar. An inscription dated <abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1800 (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1744) -states that the enclosure marks the site of an old temple to -Naulákheshwar. About fifty yards east of the -Naulákheshwar shrine is a large brick enclosure about -seventy-five yards square with walls about twelve feet high and a -pointed-arched gateway in the Moslim wave-edged style. On entering, to -the left, is a plinth with a large Hanumán and further to the -left in domed shrines are a Ganpati and a Máta. A few paces -south is Brahma’s Pool or Brahmakhund with steep steps on the -west and north, a rough stone and brick wall to the east, and a -circular well to the south. The pool walls and steps have been repaired -by stones taken from Hindu temples or from former decorations of the -pool on some of which are old figures of Matás in good repair. -The story is that Som, according to one account the builder of the Sun -temple according to another account a restorer of Shrimál, -wandering in search of a cure for leprosy, came to the south gate of -Shrimál. Som’s dog which was suffering from mange -disappeared and soon after appeared sound and clean. The king traced -the dog’s footmarks to the Brahmakhund, bathed in it, and was -cured. As a thank-offering he surrounded the pool with masonry walls. -To the south of the pool, to the right, are an underground -<i>liṅg</i> sacred to Patáleshwar the lord of the Under -World and south of the <i>liṅg</i> a small domed shrine of Chandi -Devi.

About -seventy-five yards further south-east a large area rough with heaps of -brick is said to be the site of an old Vidhya-Sála or Sanskrit -College. This college is mentioned in the local Mahátmya as a -famous place of learning the resort of scholars from distant -lands.<a class="noteref" id="n453.1src" href="#n453.1" name="n453.1src">10</a> The local account states that as the Bhils grew too -powerful the Bráhmans were unable to live in the college and -retired to Dholka in north Gujarát.</p> -<p>The slope and skirts of the town beyond the thorn-fenced enclosures -of Bhils and Rabáris lie in heaps honeycombed with holes -hollowed by searchers for bricks. Beyond this fringe of fenced -enclosures from a half to a whole mile from the city are the bare white -banks of pools and tanks some for size worthy to be called lakes. Of -these, working from the south northwards, the three chief are the -Nimbáli or Narmukhsarovar, the Goni or Gayakund, and the Talbi -or Trambaksarovar. The Nimbáli tank, about 300 yards south-east -of the college site, is a large area opening eastwards whence it draws -its supply of water and enclosed with high bare banks scattered with -bricks along the south-west and north. The lake is said to be named -<span class="corr" id="xd25e37051" title="Source: Nimbali">Nimbáli</span> after a Váni to whom -Mahádeva granted a son and for whom Mahádeva formed the -hollow of the lake by ploughing it with his thunderbolt. About half a -mile north-east of Nimbáli a horseshoe bank fifteen to thirty -feet high, except to the open east, is the remains of the Goni lake. -Lines of stone along the foot of the north-west and north-east banks -shew that portions at least of these sides were once lined with -masonry. A trace of steps remains at a place known as the Gau -Ghát or Cowgate. The lake is said to have been named Goni after -a Bráhman whose parents being eaten by a Rákshas went to -hell.

In -reward <span class="corr" id="xd25e37057" title="Source: Vishnu">Vishṇu</span> gave to the water of the lake the -merit or cleansing virtue of the water of Gáya. In the -foreground a row of small <i>chatris</i> or pavilions marks the burying -ground of the Mahajan or high Hindu community of Bhinmál. Behind -the pavilions are the bare banks of the Talbi lake. At the west end is -the Bombáro well and near the south-west is the shrine of -Trímbakeshvar Mahádev. This lake is said to have been -made in connection with a great sacrifice or <i>yag</i>, that is -<i>yajna</i>, held by Bráhmans to induce or to compel the god -Trimbakeshwar to slay the demon Tripurásur.

Of -these the most eastern, about 300 yards north-west of -Karádá, is Brahmasarovar a large area fed from the north -and with high broken banks. Next, about 500 yards north-west, lies the -far-stretching Vánkund or Forest Pool open to the north-east. -About 800 yards west is Gautam’s tank which holds water -throughout the year.

This is believed to be the image of the Yaksha -king who made the tank. Details are given Below pages 456–458. To -the west of the seated statue are the marks of the foundations of a -temple, shrine hall and outer hall, which is believed to have -originally been the shrine of Yaksh. About a hundred yards west, under -a pillared canopy of white quartz, are two Musalmán <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb455" href="#pb455" name="pb455">455</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix III.<br> -<span class="sc">Bhinmál.</span><br> -Objects.<br> -<i>Surroundings.</i></span> graves in honour of Ghazni Khán and -Hamál Khán who were killed about 400 years ago at -Jhálor fighting for Shrimál. In obedience to their dying -request their Bháts brought the champions’ bodies to -Yaksh’s tank. The white quartz, the shape of the pillars, and an -inscription on one of them dated <abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> -1333 (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1276), go to show that the -stones have been brought from the Sun temple to the south of the town. -To the north of the canopy is a large step-well the Dadeli Well -separated into an outer and an inner section by a row of Hindu pillars -supporting flat architraves. Some of the stones have figures of -goddesses and in a niche is an old goddess’ image. The upper part -of the well and the parapet are of recent brick work. On a low mound -about 150 yards to the north is the shrine of Nilkanth -Máhádev, with, about a hundred paces to the south-east, a -fine old step-well. The lake was fed from the south-west corner where -is a silt trap built of stones in many cases taken from old temples and -carved with the <i>chaitya</i> or horse-shoe ornament. Some of the -stones have apparently been brought from the great white quartz Sun -temple. Several of them have a few letters of the fourteenth century -character apparently the names of masons or carvers. Some of the blocks -are of a rich red sandstone which is said to be found only in the Rupe -quarries eight miles south of Bhinmál.</p> -<p>On the right, about half a mile south of the south-west corner of -the Jaikop lake, is a ruined heap hid among trees called the Pipal -Duára or Gateway perhaps the remains of the western Gateway -which may have formed part of the later line of fortifications which -can be traced running south along the inner bank of the Jaikop feeding -channel. About a mile south of the Pipal Duára are the bare -banks of the large lake Bansarovar the Desert Sea. To the north-west -north and north-east its great earthen banks remain stripped of their -masonry gradually sloping to the west and south the direction of its -supply of water. The island in the centre is Lakhára. This lake -was made by Gauri or Párvati when she came from Sunda hill to -slay the female demon Uttamiyár. When Párvati killed the -demon she piled over her body Shri’s hill which she had brought -with her to form a burial mound. At the same time Párvati -scooped the tank, and crowned Shri’s hill with a tower-like -temple. This hill, where lives the Śrí or Luck of -Shrimál, rises 500 feet out of the plain about a mile west of -the town. It is approached from the south by a flight of unhewn stones -roughly laid as steps. The hill-top is smoothed into a level pavement -of brick and cement. The pavement is supported on the east side by a -lofty bastion-like wall. It is surrounded by a parapet about two feet -high. On the platform two shrines face eastwards. To the left or south -is the main temple of Lakshmí and to the right or north the -smaller shrine of Suṇḍa Máta. The main shrine has a -porch with pillars and shield frieze of white quartz limestone -apparently spoils of the great Sun Temple. Three or four bells hang -from the roof of the porch and some loose white stones apparently also -from the Sun temple are scattered about. In the west wall of the main -shrine facing east is the image of the Guardian of Bhinmál -covered with red paint and gold leaf. The only trace of ornament on the -outside of Lakshmí’s shrine is in the north-face portion -of a belt of the horse-shoe or <i>chaitya</i> pattern and a disc -perhaps the disc of the Sun. The smaller shrine of Suṇḍa -Máta to the right or north is square and flat-roofed. The -ceiling is partly made of carved stones apparently prepared for, -perhaps formerly the centre slabs of domes. The door posts and lintels -are of white quartz marble. On the right door post are two short -inscriptions of <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1612 and 1664 -(<abbr title="Saṃvat">S.</abbr> 1669 and 1691).

The roof is supported by four square central pillars which with -eight wall pilasters form four shallow domes with lotus carved -roof-stones from some other or some older temple.

The -face is broken flat. It seems to have been clean shaved or at least -beardless. A heavy ring hangs from each ear. A stiff collar-like band -encircles the neck and strings of beads or plates hang on the chest too -worn to be distinguished. On both arms are upper armlets, a centre -lion-face still showing clear on the left armlet. On the right hand is -a bracelet composed of two outer bands and a central row of beads. A -light belt encircles the waist.

The head is well set and the curls and diadem -are an effective ornament. The chest and the full rounded belly are -carved with skill. The main fault in proportion, the overshortened -lower arm and leg and the narrowness of the throne, are due to the want -of depth in the stone. The chief details of interest are the -figure’s head-dress and the ball of stone in its right hand. The -head-dress seems to be a wig with a row of crisp round curls across the -brow and four lines of long curls hanging down to the shoulders and -crisp curls on the top of the head. The <i>mukut</i> or diadem has -three upright faces, a front face over the nose and side faces over the -ears joined together by two rounded bands. At first sight the stone -ball in the right hand seems a cocoanut which the king might hold in -dedicating the lake. Examination shows on the left side of the ball an -outstanding semicircle very like a human ear. Also that above the ear -are three rolls as if turban folds. And that the right ear may be hid -either by the end of the turban drawn under the chin or by the fingers -of the half-closed hand. That the front of the ball has been wilfully -smashed further supports the view that it was its human features that -drew upon it the Muslim mace. The local Bráhmans contend that -the ball is either a round sweetmeat or a handful of mud held in the -right hand of the king during the dedication service. But Tappa a -Bráhm-Bhát, a man of curiously correct information, was -urgent that the stone ball is a human head. Tappa gives the following -tale to explain why the king should hold a human head in his hand. An -evil spirit called Satka had been wasting the Bráhmans by -carrying off the head of each bridegroom so soon as a wedding ceremony -was completed. The king vowed that by the help of his goddess -Chamuṇḍa he would put a stop to this evil. The marriage of -a hundred Bráhman couples was arranged for one night. The king -sat by. So long as the king remained awake the demon dared not appear. -When the hundredth marriage was being performed the king gave way to -sleep. Satka dashed in and carried off the last bridegroom’s -head. The girl-bride awoke the king and said I will curse you. You -watched for the others, for me you did not watch. The king said to his -Luck Chamuṇḍa, What shall I do. Chamuṇḍa said -Ride after Satka. The king rode after Satka. He overtook her fourteen -miles out of Shrimál and killed her. But before her <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb458" href="#pb458" name="pb458">458</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix III.<br> -<span class="sc">Bhinmál.</span><br> -Objects.<br> -<i>Jaikop.</i></span> death Satka had eaten the bridegroom’s -head. What is to be done the king asked Chamuṇḍa. Trust me -said his guardian. The king rode back to Shrimál. As he was -entering the city the goddess pointed out to him a gardener or -Máli and said <span class="corr" id="xd25e37320" title="Source: Off">off</span> with his head. The king obeyed. The goddess -caught the falling head, stuck it to the bridegroom’s neck, and -the bridegroom came to life. Thus, ends the tale, the local -Bráhmans are known as Shrimális that is men with -gardeners’ heads. This meaning-making pun and the likeness of the -stone-ball to a human head may be the origin of this story. On the -other hand the story may be older than the image and may be the reason -why the king is shown holding a human head in his hand. On the whole it -seems likely that the story was made to explain the image and that the -image is a Bhairav holding the head of a human sacrifice and acting as -gatekeeper or guardian of some Buddhist or Sun-worshipping -temple.<a class="noteref" id="n458.1src" href="#n458.1" name="n458.1src">15</a> The appearance of the figure, its massive -well-proportioned and dignified pose, and the long wiglike curls, like -the bag wig on the figure of Chánd on the south-west or marriage -compartment of the great Elephanta Cave, make it probable that this -statue is the oldest relic of Shrimál, belonging like the -Elephanta wigged figures to the sixth or early seventh century the -probable date of the founding or refounding of the city by the -Gurjjarás.<a class="noteref" id="n458.2src" href="#n458.2" name="n458.2src">16</a> According to the local story the image stands about -twenty paces east of the temple where it was originally enshrined and -worshipped.

The brick mound which is crowned -by the white marble pillars and the massive laterite ruins of the -temple of Jagsvámi Lord of the World has been so dug into that -its true form and size cannot be determined. The size of many of the -bricks 1′ 16″ × 1′ × 3″ suggests -that the mound is older even than the massive laterite masonry of the -shrine. And that here as at Multán about the sixth century -during the supremacy of the sun-worshipping White Húṇas a -temple of the Sun was raised on the ruins of a Buddhist temple or relic -mound. Still except the doubtful evidence of the size of the bricks -nothing has been found to support the theory that the Sun temple stands -on an earlier Buddhist ruin. The apparent present dimensions of the -mound are 42′ broad 60′ long and 20′ high. Of the -temple the north side and north-west corner are fairly complete. The -east entrance to the hall, the south pillars of the hall, and with them -the hall dome and the outer wall of the temple round the south and west -of the shrine have disappeared. A confused heap of bricks on the top of -the shrine and of the entrance from the hall to the shrine is all that -is left of the spire and upper buildings. The materials used are of -three kinds. The pillars of the hall are of a white quartzlike marble; -the masonry of the shrine walls and of the passage round the north of -the shrine is of a reddish yellow laterite, and the interior of the -spire and apparently some other roof buildings are of brick. Beginning -from the original east entrance the ground has been cut away so close -to the temple and so many of the pillars have fallen that almost no -trace of the entrance is left. The first masonry, entering from the -east, are the two eastern pillars of the hall dome and to the north of -this central pair the pillar that supported the north-eastern corner of -the dome. Except the lowest rim, on the east side, all trace of the -dome and of the roof over the dome are gone. The centre of the hall is -open to the sky. The south side is even more ruined than the east side. -The whole outer wall has fallen and been removed. The south-east corner -the two south pillars of the dome and the south-west corner pillars are -gone. The north side is better preserved. The masonry that rounds off -the corners from which the dome sprung remains and along the rim of the -north face runs a belt of finely carved female figures. The north-east -corner pillar, the two north pillars of the dome, and the north-west -corner pillar all remain. Outside of the pillars runs a passage about -four feet broad and eleven feet high, and, beyond the passage, stands -the north wall of the temple with an outstanding deep-eaved window -balcony with white marble seats and backs and massive pillars whose six -feet shafts are in three sections square eightsided and round and on -whose double-disc capitals rest brackets which support a shallow -cross-cornered dome. At its west end the north passage is ornamented -with a rich <i>gokla</i> or recess 3½ broad with side pillars -3¼ feet high. On the west side of the dome the central pair of -dome pillars and as has been noticed the north corner pillar remain. -About three feet west of the west pair of dome pillars a second pair -support the domed entrance to the shrine. The richly carved side -pillars, a goddess with fly-flap bearers, and the lintel of the shrine -door remain but the bare square chamber of the shrine is open to the -sky. To the south of the shrine the entire basis of the south side of -the spire, the outer circling or <i>pradakshana</i> passage and the -outer wall of the temple have disappeared. The north side is much less -ruinous. There remain <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb460" href="#pb460" name="pb460">460</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix III.<br> -<span class="sc">Bhinmál.</span><br> -Sun Temple.</span> the massive blocks of yellow and red trap which -formed the basis of the spire built in horizontal bands of deep-cut -cushions, and in the centre of the north wall a niche with outstanding -pillared frame, the circling passage with walls of plain trap and roof -of single slabs laid across and the outer wall of the temple with -bracket capitaled pillars and a central deep-eaved and pillared hanging -window of white marble. The circling passage and the outer wall of the -temple end at the north-west corner. Of the western outer wall all -trace is gone. The pillars of the temple are massive and handsome with -pleasantly broken outline, a pedestal, a square, an eightsided band, a -sixteensided band, a round belt, a narrow band of horned faces, the -capital a pair of discs, and above the discs outstanding brackets each -ending in a crouching four-armed male or female human figure upholding -the roof. The six central dome pillars resemble the rest except that -instead of the sixteensided band the inner face is carved into an urn -from whose mouth overhang rich leafy festoons and which stand on a roll -of cloth or a ring of cane such as women set between the head and the -waterpot.<a class="noteref" id="n460.1src" href="#n460.1" name="n460.1src">17</a> On the roof piles of bricks show that besides the -spire some building rose over the central dome and eastern entrance but -of its structure nothing can now be traced.</p> -<p><span class="marginnote"><i>History.</i></span>According to a local -legend this temple of the Sun was built by Yayati the son of king -Nahush<a class="noteref" id="n460.2src" href="#n460.2" name="n460.2src">18</a> of the Chandravansi or Moon stock.

The writhing of the snake caused the king so much -agony that he ordered the Kayasth to be killed. Presently the king -became sick and the dead snake was thrown up through the king’s -mouth.

At the end of the -first <i>kos</i> is a gate and a place of guard where the causeway is -enclosed on both sides with walls. At the end of the second <i>kos</i> -is a double gate strongly fortified; and at the third <i>kos</i> is the -castle which is entered by three successive gates. The first is very -strongly plated with iron, the second not so strong with places above -for throwing down melted lead or boiling oil, and the third is thickly -beset with iron spikes. Between each of these gates are spacious places -of arms and at the inner gate is a strong portcullis. A bowshot within -the castle is a splendid pagoda, built by the founders of the castle -and ancestors of Ghazni (Gidney) Khán who were Gentiles. He -turned Muhammadan and deprived his elder brother of this castle by the -following stratagem. Having invited him and his women to a banquet -which his brother requited by a similar entertainment he substituted -chosen soldiers well armed instead of women, sending them two and two -in a <i>dhuli</i> or litter who getting in by this device gained -possession of the gates and held the place for the Great Mughal to whom -it now (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 1611) appertains being one of -the strongest situated forts in the world.

The -explanation may perhaps be that Bhilmál may mean the -Gurjjara’s town the name Bhil or bowman being given to the -Gurjjaras on account of their skill as archers. So Chápa the -original name of the Chávaḍás is Sanskritised into -Chapoṭkaṭas the strong bowmen.

The Java legend is that -about <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 603 Hindus led by -Bhruvijáya Savelachála the son of Kasamachitra or -Bálya Achá king of Kujrát or Gujarát -settled on the west coast of the island.<a class="noteref" id="n489.1src" href="#n489.1" name="n489.1src">1</a> The details of the -settlement recorded by Sir Stamford Raffles<a class="noteref" id="n489.2src" href="#n489.2" name="n489.2src">2</a> are that -Kasamachitra, ruler of Gujarát, the tenth in descent from Arjun, -was warned of the coming destruction of his kingdom. He accordingly -started his son Bhruvijáya Savelachála with 5000 -followers, among whom were cultivators artisans warriors physicians and -writers, in six large and a hundred small vessels for Java. After a -voyage of four months the fleet touched at an island they took to be -Java. Finding their mistake the pilots put to sea and finally reached -Matarem in the island of Java. The prince built the town of Mendang -Kumulan. He sent to his father for more men. A reinforcement of 2000 -arrived among them carvers in stone and in brass. An extensive commerce -sprang up with Gujarát and other countries. The bay of Matarem -was filled with stranger vessels and temples were built both at the -capital, afterwards known as Brambanum, and, during the reign of -Bhruvijáya’s grandson Ardivijáya that is about -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 660, at Boro Buddor in Kedu.<a class="noteref" id="n489.3src" href="#n489.3" name="n489.3src">3</a> The -remark that an ancestor of the immigrant prince had changed the name of -his kingdom to Gujarát is held by Lassen to prove that the -tradition is modern.

As when Hiuen Tsiang -wrote the Gurjjara chief of Bhinmál, fifty miles west of -Ábu, already ranked as a Kshatriya his family had probably been -for some time established perhaps as far back as <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 490 a date by which the Mihira or Gurjjara -conquest of Valabhi and north Gujarát was completed.<a class="noteref" id="n489.4src" href="#n489.4" name="n489.4src">4</a> The -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb490" href="#pb490" name="pb490">490</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix IV.<br> -<span class="sc">Java.</span></span> details of the help received from -Gujarát after the prince’s arrival show that the parent -state had weathered the storm which threatened to destroy it.

The variety of references suggested to Fergusson -(Architecture, III. 640) that these exploits are a vague memory of -Roman commerce in the Bay of Bengal.

Still it seems unlikely that Roman commerce -in the Bay of Bengal was ever active enough to gain a place as settler -and coloniser in the traditions of Java and Cambodia. It was with the -west not with the east of India that the relations of Rome were close -and important.

How close was the friendship is shown in <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 60 by the Roman General Corbulo escorting the -Hyrkanian ambassadors up the Indus and through the territories of the -Kusháns or Indo-Skythians on their return from their embassy to -Rome. (Compare Rawlinson’s Parthia, 271.) The close connection is -shown by the accurate details of the Indus valley and Baktria recorded -by Ptolemy (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 166) and about a hundred -years later (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 247) by the author of -the Periplus and by the special value of the gifts which the Periplus -notices were set apart for the rulers of Sindh.

In Aksu, 150 miles west of -Kucha, fierce dragons molest travellers with storms of flying sand and -gravel (Ditto, 25); the hot lake or Johai, 100 miles north-east of -Aksu, is jointly inhabited by dragons and fish; scaly monsters rise to -the surface and travellers pray to them (Ditto, 26).

He becomes a -Nágarája, kills the real Nágarája, takes -his palace, attaches the Nágas to him, and raises winds and -tempests; Kanishka comes against him and the Arhat takes the form of a -Bráhman and knocks down Kanishka’s towers. A great -merit-flame bursts from Kanishka’s shoulders and the -Bráhman Nágarája apologises. His evil and -passionate spirit, the fruit of evil deeds in a former birth, had made -the Arhat pray to be a Nágarája. If clouds gathered the -monks knew that the Nágarája meant mischief. The convent -gong was beaten and the Nágarája pacified (or scared) -Ditto, 64–66. Nágas were powerful brutes, cloud-riding -wind-driving water-walking brutes, still only brutes. The account of -the Nága or dragon of Jelalábád (in Kambojia) is -excellent. In Buddha’s time the dragon had been Buddha’s -milkman. He lost his temper, laid flowers at the Dragon’s cave, -prayed he might become a dragon, and leaped over the cliff. He laid the -country waste and did so much harm that Tathágata (or Buddha) -converted him. The Nága asked Buddha to take his cave. Buddha -said No. I will leave my shadow. If you get angry look at my shadow and -it will quiet you (Ditto, 94). Another typical dragon is Apalála -of the Swát river (Ditto, 68). In the time of Kaśyapa -Buddha Apalála was a weaver of spells named Gangi. Gangi’s -spells kept the dragons quiet and saved the crops. But the people were -thankless and paid no tithes. May I be born a dragon, cursed Gangi, -poisonous and ruinous. He was born the dragon of the Swát -valley, Apalála, who belched forth a salt stream and burned the -crops. The ruin of the fair and pious valley of Swát reached -Śakya’s (Buddha’s) ears. He passed to Mangala and beat -the mountain side with Indra’s mace. Apalála came forth -was lectured and converted. He agreed to do no more mischief on -condition that once in twelve years he might ruin the crops. (Ditto, -122.) In a lake about seven miles west of Takshaśilá, a -spot dear to the exiled Kambojan, lived Elápatra the -Nágarája, a Bhikshu or ascetic who in a former life had -destroyed a tree. When the crops wanted rain or fair weather, the -Shamans or medicine-men led the people to pray at -Elápatra’s tank (page 137). In Kashmir, perhaps the place -of halt of the Kambojan in his conquests eastwards, in old times the -country was a dragon lake.<a class="noteref" id="n502.3.asrc" href="#n502.3.a" name="n502.3.asrc">71</a> Madhyantika drove out the waters -but left one small part as a house for the Nága king (I. 150). -What sense have these tales? In a hilly land where the people live in -valleys the river is at once the most whimsical and the most dangerous -force. Few seasons pass in which the river does not either damage with -its floods or with its failure and at times glaciers and landslips stop -the entire flow and the valley is ruined. So great and so strange an -evil as the complete drying of a river must be the result of some -one’s will, of some one’s temper. The Dragon is angry he -wants a sacrifice. Again the river ponds into a lake, the lake tops the -earth bank and rushes in a flood wasting as only a dragon can waste. -For generations after so awful a proof of power all doubts regarding -dragons are dead. (Compare Drew’s Cashmere and Jummoo, -414–421.) In India the Chinese dragon turns into a cobra. In -China the cobra is unknown: in India than the cobra no power is more -dreaded. How can the mighty unwieldy dragon be the little silent cobra. -How not? Can the dragon be worshipful if he is unable to change his -shape. To the spirit not to the form is worship due. Again the -worshipped dragon becomes the guardian. The great earth Bodhisattva -transforms himself into a Nágarája and dwells in lake -Anavatapta whose flow of cool water enriches the world (Buddhist -Records, II. 11). In a fane in Swát Buddha takes the form of a -dragon and the people live on him (125). A pestilence wasted -Swát. Buddha becomes the serpent Suma, all who taste his flesh -are healed of the plague (126). A Nága maiden, who for her sins -has been born in serpent shape and lives in a pool, loves Buddha who -was then a Śakya chief. Buddha’s merit regains for the girl -her lost human form. He goes into the pool slays the girl’s -snake-kin and marries her. Not even by marriage with the Śakya is -her serpent spirit driven out of the maiden. At night from her head -issues a nine-crested Nága. Śakya strikes off the nine -crests and ever since that blow the royal family has suffered from -headaches (132). This last tale shows how Buddhism works on the coarser -and fiercer tribes who accept its teaching. The converts rise to be men -though a snake-head may peep out to show that not all of the old leaven -is dead. In other stories Buddha as the sacramental snake shows the -moral advance in Buddhism from fiend to guardian worship. The rest of -the tales illustrate the corresponding intellectual progress from force -worship to man, that is mind, worship. The water force sometimes kindly -and enriching sometimes fierce and wasting becomes a Bodhisattva always -kindly though his goodwill may have to give way to the rage of evil -powers. So Bráhmanism turns Náráyana the sea into -Śiva or Somnáth the sea ruler. In this as in other phases -religion passes from the worship of the forces of Nature to which in -his beginnings man has to bow to the worship of Man or conscious Mind -whose growth in skill and in knowledge has made him the Lord of the -forces. These higher ideals are to a great extent a veneer. The -Buddhist evangelist may dry the lake; he is careful to leave a pool for -the Nágarája. In times of trouble among the fierce -struggles of pioneers and settlers the spirit of Buddha withdraws and -leaves the empty shrine to the earlier and the more immortal spirit of -Force, the Nágarája who has lived on in the pool which -for the sake of peace Buddha refrained from drying. <a class="fnarrow" href="#n502.3src">↑</a></p> -<p class="footnote"><span class="label"><a class="noteref" id="n502.3.a" href="#n502.3.asrc" name="n502.3.a">71</a></span> Kashmir -has still a trace of Gandhára.

A thousand -Bráhmans were on duty every day in the temple, three hundred and -fifty singers and dancers performed before the image, and three hundred -barbers shaved the pilgrims who intended to pay their devotions at the -shrine.

When a man has a rightful -claim he draws a circle on the ground and asks his debtor to step into -the circle in the name of the king. The debtor never fails to step in -nor does he ever leave the circle without paying his debts.

His general account of the manners of the -Indians relates chiefly to those of northern India, of whom he had -personal knowledge. But he also gave a geographical description of -India, for Arrian informs us (Ind. VII) that he gave the total number -of Indian tribes as 118, and Pliny (VI. 17ff) does in fact enumerate -about 90, to whom may be added some seven or eight more mentioned by -Arrian. It is true that Pliny does not distinctly state that he takes -his geographical details from Megasthenês, and that he quotes -Seneca as having written a book on India. But Seneca also (Pliny, VI. -17) gave the number of the tribes as 118 in which he must have followed -Megasthenês. Further, Pliny says (<i>ibid</i><span class="corr" -id="xd25e45146" title="Not in source">.</span>) that accounts of the -military forces of each nation were given by writers such as -Megasthenês and Dionysius who stayed with Indian kings: and as he -does not mention Dionysius in his list of authorities for his Book VI., -it follows that it was from Megasthenês that he drew his accounts -of the forces of the Gangaridæ, Modogalinga, Andaræ, Prasi, -Megallæ, Asmagi, Oratæ, Suarataratæ, Automula, -Charmæ, and Pandæ (VI. 19), names which, as will be shown -below, betray a knowledge of all parts of India. It is a fair inference -that the remaining names mentioned by Pliny were taken by him from -Megasthenês, perhaps through the medium of Seneca’s work. -The corruption of Pliny’s text <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb533" href="#pb533" name="pb533">533</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Megasthenês.</i></span> and the fact that Megasthenês -learnt the tribal names in their Prakrit forms, make it extremely -difficult to identify many of the races referred to.</p> -<p>That part of Pliny’s account of India which may with some -certainty be traced back to Megasthenês begins with a statement -of the stages of the royal road from the Hypasis (Biás) to -Palibothra (Patna) (Nat. Hist. VI. 17). The next chapter gives an -account of the Ganges and its tributaries and mentions the -Gangaridæ of Kalinga with their capital Pertalis as the most -distant nation on its banks. In the 19th chapter, after an account of -the forces of the Gangaridæ, Pliny gives a list of thirteen -tribes, of which the only ones that can be said to be satisfactorily -identified are Modogalinga (the three Calingas: Caldwell Drav. Gr.), -Molindæ (compare Mount Mâlindya of Varâha Mihira Br. -S. XIV.), and Thalutæ (McCrindle reads Taluctæ and -identifies with the Tâmraliptakas of Tamluk on the lower Ganges). -He next mentions the Andaræ (Andhras of Telingana) with thirty -cities 100,000 foot 2000 horse and 1000 elephants. He then digresses to -speak of the Dardæ (Dards of the Upper Indus) as rich in gold and -the Setæ (of Mêwâr, Lassen) in silver, and next -introduces the Prasi (Prâcyas) of Palibothra (<span class="corr" -id="xd25e45165" title="Source: Pâtaliputra">Pâṭaliputra</span>) as the most -famous and powerful of all the tribes, having 600,000 foot 30,000 horse -and 8000 elephants. Inland from these he names the Monædes -(Muṇḍa of Singbhúm) and Suari (Śavaras of -Central India) among whom is Mount Maleus (Mahendra Male?). Then after -some account of the Iomanes (Yamunâ) running between Methora -(Mathurâ) and Chrysobora (McCrindle reads Carisobora, Arrian Ind. -VIII. Kleisobora = Kṛishṇapura?) he turns to the Indus, of -some of whose nineteen tributaries he gives some account in chapter 20. -He then digresses to give an account of the coast of India, starting -from the mouth of the Ganges, whence to Point Calingon (Point -Godâvari) and the city of Dandaguda (Cunningham’s -Râja Mahendri, but more probably the Dhanakaṭaka or -Dhenukâkaṭa of the Western cave inscriptions) he reckons -625 miles. The distance thence to Tropina (Tirupanatara near Kochin -according to Burgess) is 1225 miles. Next at a distance of 750 miles is -the cape of Perimula, where is the most famous mart of India. Further -on in the same chapter is mentioned a city named Automula on the sea -shore among the Arabastræ (or Salabastræ and Oratæ, -McCrindle) a noble mart where five rivers together flow into the sea. -There can hardly be a doubt that the two places are the same, the two -names being taken from different authorities, and that the place meant -is Chemula or Cheul (Ptolemy’s Simulla) the five rivers being -those that flow into Bombay Harbour northward of Cheul. The distance -from Perimula to the Island of Patala in the Indus is 620 miles. Pliny -next enumerates as hill tribes between the Indus and Jamna, shut in a -ring of mountains and deserts for a space of 625 miles, the Cæsi -(the Kekiọi of Arr. Ind. IV. and Kêkayas of the -Purâṇas, about the head waters of the Sutlej), the -Cetriboni of the woods (… Vana?), the Megallæ -(Mêkalas) with 500 elephants and unknown numbers of horse and -foot, the Chrysei (Karûsha) Parasangæ (Pâraśava, -corrupted by the likeness of its first three syllables to the word -<span class="trans" title="parasanga"><span class="Greek" lang="grc">παρασαγγα</span></span>, -the Asmagi (Aśmaka of Varâha Mihira) with 30,000 foot 300 -elephants and 800 horse. These are shut in by the Indus and surrounded -by a circle of mountains and deserts for 625 miles. Next come the Dari -and Suræ and then deserts again for 187 miles. Whether these are -or are not correctly identified with the Dhars and Saurs of Sindh, they -must be placed somewhere to the north of the Ran. Below them come five -kingless tribes living in the hills along the sea-coast—the -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb534" href="#pb534" name="pb534">534</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Megasthenês.</i></span> Maltecoræ, Singhæ, -Marohæ, Rarungæ, and Moruni—none of whom are -satisfactorily identified, but who may be placed in Kachh. Next follow -the Nareæ, enclosed by Mount Capitalia (Âbu) the highest -mountain in India, on the other side of which are mines of gold and -silver. The identification of Capitalia with Âbu is probable -enough, but the name given to the mountain must be connected with the -Kapishṭhala of the <i>Purâṇas</i>, who have given -their name to one of the recensions of the Yajur Veda, though Kaithal, -their modern representative, lies far away from Âbu in the -Karnâl district of the Panjâb, and Arrian places his -<span class="trans" title="kambistholoi"><span class="Greek" lang="grc">καμβισθολοι</span></span> -(Ind. IV) about the head waters of the Hydraôtês -(Râvî). After Capitalia and the Nareæ come the -Oratæ with but ten elephants but numerous infantry. These must be -the Aparântakas of the inscriptions and -<i>purâṇas</i>, Megasthenês having learnt the name in -a <span class="corr" id="xd25e45205" title="Source: Prakṛit">Prâkṛit</span> form (Avarâta, -Orâta). The name of the next tribe, who have no elephants but -horse and foot only, is commonly read Suarataratæ (Nobbe) but the -preferable reading is Varetatæ (McCrindle) which when corrected -to Varelatæ represents Varalatta, the sixth of the seven Konkans -in the purâṇic lists (Wilson <abbr title="Asiatic Researches">As. Res.</abbr> XV. 47), which occupied the centre -of the Thána district and the country of the wild tribe of the -Varlîs. Next are the Odonbæores, whose name is connected -with the <i>udumbara</i> Ficus glomerata tree, and who are not the -Audumbari Sâlvas of <span class="corr" id="xd25e45214" title="Source: Pâniṇi">Pâṇini</span> (IV. i. 173) but -must be placed in Southern Thána. Next come the Arabastræ -Oratæ (so read for Arabastræ Thorace of Nobbe, and -Salabastræ Horatæ of McCrindle) or Arabastra division of -the Oratæ or Koṅkaṇîs. Arabastra may be -connected with the Ârava of Varâha-Mihira’s -South-Western Division (<abbr>Br. S.</abbr> XIV. 17) where they are -mentioned along with Barbara (the seventh or northernmost -Koṅkaṇ). This tribe had a fine city in a marsh infested by -crocodiles and also the great mart of Automula (Cheul) at the -confluence of five rivers, and the king had 1600 elephants 150,000 foot -and 5000 horse, and must therefore have held a large part of the Dakhan -as well as of the sea coast. Next to this kingdom is that of the -Charmæ, whose forces are small, and next to them the Pandæ -(Pâṇḍya of Travancor) with 300 cities 150,000 foot -and 500 elephants. Next follows a list of thirteen tribes, some of -which St. Martin has identified with modern <span class="corr" id="xd25e45221" title="Source: Rajput">Râjput</span> tribes about -the Indus, because the last name of the thirteen is Orostræ, -“who reach to the island of Patala,” and may be confidently -identified with the <span class="corr" id="xd25e45224" title="Source: Sâurâshṭra">Saurâshṭra</span> of -Kâthiâvâḍa. We must however assume that -Megasthenês after naming the tribes of the west coast enumerates -the inland tribes of the Dakhan until he arrives at the point from -which he started. But the only identification that seems plausible is -that of the Derangæ with the Telingas or Telugus. Next to the -Orostræ follows a list of tribes on the east of the Indus from -south to north—the Mathoæ (compare Mânthava, a -Bâhîka town Pân. IV. ii. 117), Bolingæ -(Bhâulingi, a Sâlva tribe Pân. IV. i. 173), -Gallitalutæ (perhaps a corruption of Tâilakhali, another -Sâlva tribe, <i>ib.</i>), Dimuri, Megari, Ardabæ, -Mesæ (Matsya of Jaipur?), Abi, Suri, (v. 1. Abhis Uri), -Silæ, and then deserts for 250 miles. Next come three more tribes -and then again deserts, then four or five (according to the reading) -more tribes, and the Asini whose capital is Bucephala (Jalâlpur) -(Cunningham <abbr title="Ancient Geography">Anc. Geog.</abbr> 177). -Megasthenês then gives two mountain tribes and ten beyond the -Indus including the Orsi (Uraśâ) Taxilæ -(Takshaśilâ) and Peucolitæ (people of -Pushkâlavatî). Of the work of Dêïmachos, who -went on an embassy to Allitrochadês (Bindusâra) son of -Candragupta, nothing is known except that it was in two books and was -reckoned the most untrustworthy of all accounts of India (Strabo, II. -i. 9). <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb535" href="#pb535" name="pb535">535</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Ptolemy II.</i></span> <span class="marginnote"><i>Ptolemy -II.</i></span><b>Ptolemy II.

With these envoys came a -certain Zarmanokhêgas (Śramaṇâcârya, -Lassen) from Bargosê (Broach, the earliest mention of the name) -who afterwards burnt himself at Athens, “according to the -ancestral custom of the Indians.” The fact that the embassy came -from Broach and passed through Antioch shows that they took the route -by the Persian Gulf, which long remained one of the chief lines of -trade (<abbr>Per.</abbr> <abbr title="chapter">chap.</abbr> 36). If the -embassy was not a purely commercial speculation on the part of -merchants of Broach, it is hard to see how king Pôros, who had -600 under-kings, can be other than the Indo-Skythian Kozolakadaphes, -who held Pôros’ old kingdom as well as much other territory -in North-West India. This if correct would show that as early as the -beginning of our era the Indo-Skythian power reached as far south as -Broach. The fact that the embassy took the Persian Gulf route and that -their object was to open commercial relations with the Roman empire -seems to show that at this period there was no direct trade between -Broach and the Egyptian ports of the Red Sea. Strabo however mentions -that in his time Arabian and Indian wares were carried on camels from -Myos Hormos (near Râs Abu Somer) on the Red Sea to Koptos on the -Nile (XVII. i. 45 and XVI. iv. 24) and dilates upon the increase of the -Indian trade since the days of the Ptolemies when not so many as twenty -ships dared pass through the Red Sea “to peer out of the -Straits,” whereas in his time whole fleets of as many as 120 -vessels voyaged to India and the headlands of Ethiopia from Myos Hormos -(II. v. 12 and XV. i. 13).

Ptolemy begins his description -of India with the first chapter of his seventh book, which deals with -India within the Ganges. He gives first the names of rivers, countries, -towns, and capes along the whole coast of India from the westernmost -mouth of the Indus to the easternmost mouth of the Ganges.

Only it may be noted that Sinthôn -preserves the Indian name of the river (Sindhu) and that the -easternmost mouth (Lônibare) probably represents both the present -Korî or Launî and the Lûnî river of -Mârwâr, a fact which goes some way to explain why Ptolemy -had no idea of the existence of Kachh, though he knows the Ran as the -gulf of Kanthi. Hence he misplaces Surastrênê -(Surâshṭra or Kâthiâvâḍa) in the -Indus delta instead of south of the Ran. Ptolemy enumerates a group of -five towns in the north-western part of Indo-Skythia (Kohat, Bannu, and -Dera Ismail Khân) of which Cunningham (<abbr title="Ancient Geography">Anc. Geog.</abbr> pages 84ff) has identified -Banagara with Bannu, and Andrapana with Daraban, while the sites of -Artoarta, Sabana, and Kodrana are unknown. Ptolemy next gives a list of -twelve towns along the western bank of the Indus to the sea. Of these -Embolima has been identified by Cunningham (<abbr title="Ancient Geography">Anc. Geog.</abbr> page 52) with Amb sixty miles -above Attok, and Pasipêda is identified by St. Martin with the -Besmaid of the Arab geographers and placed near Mithankot at the -junction of the Chenab with the Indus. Sousikana, which comes next in -the list to Pasipêḍa, is generally thought to be a -corruption of Mousikanos, and is placed by the latest authority -(General Haig, <i>The Indus Delta Country</i>, page 130) in -<span class="corr" id="xd25e45502" title="Source: Bahawalpur">Bahâwalpur</span>, though Cunningham -(<abbr title="Ancient Geography">Anc. Geog.</abbr> page 257) puts it at -Alor, which is somewhat more in accordance with Ptolemy’s -distances.

Barbarei is mentioned -again in the Periplus (chapter 38) under the name of Barbarikon. -Ptolemy gives the names of nine towns on the left bank of the Indus -from the confluence to the sea, but very few of them can be -satisfactorily identified. Panasa can only be Osanpur (St. Martin) on -Fluellen’s principles. Boudaia must represent the Budhîya -of the Arabs, though it is on the wrong side of the river (see Haig, -<i>op. cit.</i> page 57ff). Naagramma may with Yule be placed at -Naushahro. Kamigara cannot be Aror (McCrindle), if that place -represents Sousikana. Binagara is commonly thought to be a corrupt -reading of Minnagara (compare Periplus chapter 38). Haig (<i>op. -cit.</i> page 32 note 47) refers to the Tuhfatu’l Kirâm as -mentioning a Minnagar in pargana Shâhdâdpur (north-east of -Haidarâbâd). Parabali, Sydros, and Epitausa have not been -identified, but must be looked for either in Haidarâbâd or -in Thar and Pârkar. Xoana may with Yule be identified with Siwana -in the bend of the Lûnî and gives another indication that -Ptolemy confounded the Lûnî with the eastern mouth of the -Indus.</p> -<p>On the coast of Surastrênê -(Kâthiâvâḍa) Ptolemy mentions, first, the -island of Barakê (Dvârakâ Bêt): then the city -Bardaxêma which must be Porbandar (Yule), in front of the Barada -hills: then the village of Surastra, which perhaps represents -Verâval, though it is placed too far north. Surastra cannot well -be Junâgad (Lassen) which is not on the coast and in -Ptolemy’s time was not a village, but a city, though it is -certainly strange that Ptolemy does not anywhere mention it. Further -south Ptolemy places the mart of Monoglôsson (Mangrol). The -eastern <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb539" href="#pb539" name="pb539">539</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Klaudios Ptolemaios.</i></span> boundary of the coast of -Indo-Skythia seems to have been the mouth of the Môphis -(Mahî). Ptolemy’s account of Indo-Skythia may be completed -by mentioning the list of places, which he puts to the east of the -Indus (<i>i. e.</i> the Lûnî) and at some distance from -it.</p> -<p>These are: Xodrakê, which has not been identified, but which -must be placed somewhere in Mewâr, perhaps at the old city of -Pûr, seventy-two miles north-east of Udaipur, or possibly at the -old city of Ahar, two miles from Udaipur itself (Tod’s -Râjasthân, I. 677–78).</p> -<p>Sarbana, which is marked in Ptolemy’s map at the head-waters -of the Mahî in the Apokopa mountains (Aravallis), must be -identified with Sarwan about ten miles north-west of Ratlâm. -There is also a place called Sarwanio close to Nimach, which Ptolemy -may have confused with Sarwan.</p> -<p>Auxoamis, which St. Martin identifies with Sûmî, and -Yule with Ajmir, but neither place suits the distance and direction -from Sarwan. If Ptolemy, as above suggested, confused Sarwan and -Sarwanio, Auxoamis may be Ahar near Udaipur, Pûr being then -Xodrakê: otherwise Auxoamis may be Ídar. The question can -only be settled by more exact knowledge of the age of Ahar and of -Ídar. Orbadarou may provisionally with Yule be placed at -Âbu.</p> -<p>Asinda must be looked for near Sidhpur, though it cannot with St. -Martin be identified with that place. Perhaps Vadnagar (formerly -Ânandapura and a very old town) may be its modern -representative.</p> -<p>Theophila may be Devaliya (Yule) or Thân (Burgess) in -north-east Kâthiâvâḍa.</p> -<p>Astakapra is admitted to be Hastakavapra or Hâthab near -Bhâvnagar (Bühler).</p> -<p><i>Larikê</i> is described by Ptolemy next after Indo-Skythia -on his way down the West Coast. The northern limit of its coast was the -mouth of the river Môphis (Mahî). Its name is the -Lâṭa of <i>purâṇas</i> and inscriptions. -Ptolemy mentions as on its coast the village of Pakidarê, which -may be a misreading for Kâpidarê and represent -Kâvî (Kâpikâ of inscriptions) a holy place just -south of the Mahî. Next comes Cape Maleô, which Ptolemy -both in his text and in his map includes in Larikê, though there -is no prominent headland in a suitable position on the east side of the -Gulf of Cambay. As he puts it 2¼ degrees west of Broach, it may -probably be identified with <span class="corr" id="xd25e45561" title="Source: Gôpnâth">Gopnâth</span> Point in -Kâthiâvâḍa on the other side of the gulf (the -Pâpikê of the Periplus), his name for it surviving in the -neighbouring shoals known as the Malai banks. It is in agreement with -this that Ptolemy puts the mouth of the river Namados (Narmadâ) -to the north of Cape Maleô. South of the river is Kamanê -which may be identified with the Kamanijja or Karmaṇêya of -inscriptions, that is with Kamlej on the Taptî above Surat. It -has been supposed to be the Kammôni of the Periplus (chapter 43), -which was the village opposite to the reef called -Hêrônê on the right (east) of the gulf of Barygaza: -but it is perhaps best to separate the two and to identify -Kammôni with Kim, north of Olpâd. The next town mentioned -is Nousaripa, which should probably be read Nousarika, being the -Navasârikâ of inscriptions and the modern -Nausârî. The most southerly town of Larikê is -Poulipoula, which has been identified with Phulpâdâ or old -Surat, but is too far south. Bilimora is perhaps the most likely -position for it, though the names do not correspond (unless Pouli is -the Dravidian <i>Puli</i> or <i>poli</i> = a tiger, afterwards replaced -by <i>Bili</i> = a cat). Ptolemy begins his list of the inland cities -of Larikê with Agrinagara, which may with Yule be identified with -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb540" href="#pb540" name="pb540">540</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Klaudios Ptolemaios.</i></span> Âgar, thirty-five miles -north-east of Ujjain, and the Âkara of inscriptions. The next -town is Siripalla, which has not been identified, but should be looked -for about thirty miles to the south-east of Agar, not far from -Shâhjahânpur. The modern name would probably be Shirol. -Bammogoura must be identified, not with Pawangad (Yule), but with Hiuen -Tsiang’s “city of the Brâhmans” (Beal, -Si-yu-ki, II. 262), 200 <i>li</i> (about 33 miles) to the north-west of -the capital of Mâlava in his time. The distance and direction -bring us nearly to Jaora. Sazantion and Zerogerei have not been -satisfactorily identified but may provisionally be placed at -Ratlâm and Badnawar respectively, or Zêrogerei may be -Dhâr as Yule suggested. Ozênê the capital of -Tiastanês is Ujjain the capital of the Kshatrapa Cashṭana -who reigned c. 130 <span class="sc">a.d.</span> His kingdom included -Western Mâlwâ, West <span class="corr" id="xd25e45594" -title="Source: Khandesh">Khándesh</span>, and the whole of -<span class="corr" id="xd25e45597" title="Source: Gujárat">Gujarát</span> south of the Mahî. -His grandson Rudradâman (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150) -tells us in his Girnâr inscription (I. A. VII. 259) that his own -kingdom included also Mârwâr Sindh and the lower -Panjâb. Next to Ujjain Ptolemy mentions Minnagara, which must -have been somewhere near Mânpur. Then we come to Tiatoura or -Chândor (Yule) on the ridge which separates <span class="corr" -id="xd25e45604" title="Source: Khandesh">Khándesh</span> from -the valley of the Godâvari, and finally on that river itself -Nasika the modern Nâsik. It is very doubtful whether Nâsik -at any time formed part of the dominions of Cashṭana, since we -know from the inscriptions in the Nâsik caves that the Kshatrapas -were driven out of that part of the country by Gautamîputra -Śâtakarṇi, the father of Ptolemy’s contemporary -Pulumâyi. Ptolemy probably found Nâsik mentioned in one of -his lists as on a road leading from Ujjain southwards and he concluded -that they belonged to the same kingdom.</p> -<p><i>Ariakê</i> of the Sadinoi included the coast of the Konkan -as far south as Baltipatna (near Mahâd) and the Deccan between -the Godâvari and the Kṛishṇa. The name occurs in -Varâha Mihira’s Bṛihat Saṁhitâ XIV. in -the form Âryaka. The tribal name Sadinoi is less easy to explain. -The suggested connection with the word <i>Sâdhana</i> as meaning -an agent (Lassen) and its application to the Kshatrapas of <span class="corr" id="xd25e45614" title="Source: Gujarat">Gujarát</span>, -are not tenable. The only authority for this meaning of -<i>Sâdhana</i> is Wilson’s Sanskrit Dictionary, and at this -time it is certain that Ariakê belonged, not to the Kshatrapas of -<span class="corr" id="xd25e45620" title="Source: Gujarat">Gujarát</span>, but to the -Śâtakarṇis of Paithan on the Godâvari. -Bhândârkar’s identification of the Sadinoi with -Varâha Mihira’s Śântikas seems also somewhat -unsatisfactory. Ptolemy’s name may possibly be a corruption of -Śâtakarṇi or Śâtavâhana. The coast -towns of this region were Soupara (Supârâ near Bassein), -south of which Ptolemy places the river Goaris (Vaitaraṇî), -Dounga (perhaps Dugáḍ ten miles north of Bhiwndi) south of -which is the Bênda river (Bhiwndî Creek), Simylla, a mart -and a cape, the Automula and Perimula of Pliny and the modern Cheul -(Chemula); Milizêgyris an island, the same as the -Melizêigara of the Periplus and (probably) as the Sigerus of -Pliny and the modern Janjîra; Hippokoura, either Ghodegâon -or Kuḍâ (Yule) in Kolâbâ district; Baltipatna, -probably the Palaipatmai of the Periplus and the same as Pâl near -Mahâd.</p> -<p>The inland dominions of the Sadinoi were much more extensive than -their coast line. Ptolemy gives two lists of cities, one of those lying -to the west (<i>i. e.</i> north) of the Bênda, whose course in -the Deccan represents the Bhîmâ river, and the other of -those between the Bênda and the Pseudostomos (here the -Mâlprabhâ and Kṛishṇa or possibly the -Tungabhadra with its tributaries). The most easterly towns in the first -list, Malippala and Sarisabis, are not satisfactorily identified, but -must be looked for in the Nizâm’s country to the south-east -of <span class="corr" id="xd25e45628" title="Source: Haidârâbâd">Haidarâbâd</span><span class="corr" -id="xd25e45630" title="Source: ,">.</span> Next comes Tagara mentioned -in the Periplus (chapter 51) as ten days east from Paithan, and -<span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb541" href="#pb541" name="pb541">541</a>]</span> <span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Klaudios Ptolemaios.</i></span> therefore about the latitude of -Kulbarga, with which it is identified by Yule. The distance and -direction make its identification with Deogir (Wilford and others), -Junnar (Bhagwanlâl), or Kolhâpur (Fleet) impossible. The -best suggestion hitherto made is that it is Dârur or Dhârur -(Bhândârkar), but Dârur in the Bhîr district is -too far north, so Dhârur fifty miles west of -Haidarâbâd must be taken as the most likely site. Next to -Tagara Ptolemy mentions Baithana, which is the Paithana of the Periplus -and the modern Paithan on the Godâvari. It is called by our -author the capital of Siroptolemaios, who is the -Śrî-Pulumâyi of the Nâsik cave inscriptions. -Next to Baithana comes Deopali, which may safely be identified with the -modern Deoli in the suburbs of Ahmadnagar. Gamaliba, the next stage, -must be placed somewhere on the line between Ahmednagar and Junnar, -which latter ancient town is to be identified with Ptolemy’s -Omênogara, although this name is not easy to explain.</p> -<p>The second list of towns in Ariakê begins with Nagarouris -(Nagarapurî) which probably represents Poona which even then must -have been a place of importance, being at the head of the great road -down the Bhorghat. Tabasô (compare Varâha Mihira’s -Tâpasâśrâmâḥ and Ptolemy’s own -Tabasoi) may be the holy city of Pandharpur. Indê has retained -its ancient name (Indî in the north of the <span class="corr" id="xd25e45649" title="Source: Bijapur">Bîjâpur</span> -district). Next follows Tiripangalida (Tîkota in the -Kurundwâd State ?) and then Hippokoura, the capital of -Baleokuros. Dr. Bhândârkar has identified this king with -the Vilivâyakûra of coins found in the Kolhápur -state. His capital may possibly be Hippargi in the Sindgi taluka of the -Bîjâpur district. Soubouttou, the next town on -Ptolemy’s list, is not identifiable, but the name which follows, -Sirimalaga, must be Sirnâl in the Bîjâpur taluka of -the same district.</p> -<p>Kalligeris may be identified not with Kaṇhagiri (McCrindle) -but with Galgali at the crossing of the Kṛishṇa, and -Modogoulla is not Mûdgal (McCrindle) but Mudhol on the -Ghâtprabhâ. Petirgala should probably read Penengala, and -would then represent the old town of Panangala or Hongal in the -Dhârvâḍ district.

Chiplun is the only town of great -antiquity in this part of the Koṅkaṇ, and if it is not -Vaijayantî Ptolemy has passed over it altogether. The similarity -of the names has suggested the identification of Byzantion with -Jaygaḍ (Bhândârkar) or Vijayadrug (Vincent), but both -these places are comparatively modern.

Müller argues for a date between -<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 80 and <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 89, because the Periplus knows no more than Pliny -of India beyond the Ganges, whereas Ptolemy’s knowledge is much -greater: because the Periplus calls Ceylon Palaisimoundou, which is to -Ptolemy (VII. iv. 1) an old name: because the Nabathæan kingdom, -which was destroyed <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 105, was still in -existence at the time of the Periplus: because the Periplus account of -Hippalos shows it to be later than Pliny: and because the Periplus -mentions king Zôskalês, who must be the Za Hakalê of -the Abyssinian lists who reigned <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 77–89. It may be replied that the Periplus -is not a geography of Eastern Asia, but a guide book for traders with -certain ports only: that Ptolemy must have found in his lists three -names for Ceylon, Taprobanê, Palaisimoundou, and Salikê, -and that he has wrongly separated Palai from Simoundou, taking it to -mean “formerly” and therefore entered Simoundou as the old -and Salikê as the modern name,<a class="noteref" id="n543.asrc" -href="#n543.a" name="n543.asrc">2</a> whereas all three names were in -use together: that the Nabathæan king Malikhas was simply the -Sheikh of the tribe (Reinaud), and points to no definite date: that the -Periplus’ account of Hippalos is certainly later than Pliny: and -that the Zôskalês of the Periplus is the Za Sâgal or -Za Asgal of the Abyssinian lists, who reigned <span class="sc">a.d.</span> 246–47 (Reinaud).</p> -<p>It follows that Reinaud’s date for the Periplus (<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 250) is the only one consistent with the facts -and especially with the Indian facts. As will appear below, the growth -of the Hippalos legend since Pliny’s time, the rival Parthians in -Sindh, the mention of Mambaros and the supplanting of Ozênê -by Minnagara as his capital since Ptolemy’s time, the -independence of Baktria, and the notices of Saraganês and -Sandanês, are all points strongly in favour of Reinaud’s -date.</p> -<p>In the time of the Periplus the ships carrying on the Indian trade -started from Myos Hormos (near Ras Abu Somer) or Berenikê (in -Foul Bay) and sailed down the Red Sea to Mouza (Musa twenty-five miles -north of Mokhâ), and thence to the watering place Okêlis -(Ghalla) at the Straits. They then followed the Arabian coast as far as -Kanê (Hisn Ghurâb in Hadramaut) passing on the way -Eudaimôn Arabia (Aden) once a great mart for Indian traders, but -lately destroyed by king Elisar (Müller’s conjecture for -<span class="sc"><span class="trans" title="KAISAR"><span class="Greek" -lang="grc">ΚΑΙΣΑΡ</span></span></span> -of the <abbr title="Manuscript">MS.</abbr>) From Kanê the routes -to India diverge, some ships sailing to the Indus and on to Barygaza, -and others direct to the ports of Limyrikê (Malabár -Coast). There was also another route to Limyrikê, starting from -Arômata (Cape Guardafui). In all three voyages the ships made use -of the monsoon, starting from Egypt in July. The monsoon was called -Hippalos, according to the Periplus (chapter 57), after the navigator -who first discovered the direct course across the sea, and it has been -inferred from Pliny’s words (VI. 23) that this pilot lived in the -middle of the first century <span class="sc">a.d.</span> But -Pliny’s own account shows that, as we should expect, the progress -from a coasting to a direct voyage was a gradual one, with several -intermediate stages, in all of which the monsoon was more or less made -use of. There was therefore no reason for naming the wind from the -pilot who merely made the last step. Further though Pliny knows -Hippalus as the local name of the monsoon wind in the eastern seas, he -says nothing of its having been the name of the inventor of the direct -course. The inference seems to be that Hippalos the pilot is the child -of a seaman’s yarn arising out of the local name of <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb544" href="#pb544" name="pb544">544</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Periplus.</i></span> the monsoon wind, and that his presence in the -Periplus and not in Pliny shows that the former writer is much later -than the latter.</p> -<p>The merchant bound for Skythia (Sindh) before he reaches land, which -lies low to the northward, meets the white water from the river Sinthos -(Indus) and water snakes (chapter 38). The river has seven mouths, -small and marshy all but the middle one, on which is the port of -Barbarikon (Shâhbandar, Haig, page 31) whence the -merchants’ wares are carried up by river to the capital Minnagar -(near Shâhdâdpur, Haig, page 32), which is ruled by -Parthians who constantly expel one another (chapter 39). These -contending Parthians must have been the remnant of the Karên -Pahlavs who joined with the Kushâns to attack Ardeshir -Pâpakân (<abbr title="Journal Asiatique">Journ. As.</abbr> -[1866] VII. 134). The imports are clothing, flowered cottons, topazes, -coral, storax, frankincense, glass vessels, silver plate, specie, and -wine: and the exports costus (spice), bdellium (gum), yellow dye, -spikenard, emeralds, sapphires, furs from Tibet, cottons, silk thread, -and indigo. The list of imports shows that the people of Skythia were a -civilised race and by no means wild nomads.</p> -<p>The Periplus next (chapter 40) gives an accurate account of the Ran -(Eirinon) which in those days was probably below sea level (Haig, page -22, Burnes’ Travels into Bokhara, III. 309ff), and was already -divided into the Great and the Little. Both were marshy shallows even -out of sight of land and therefore dangerous to navigators. The Ran was -then as now bounded to south and west by seven islands, and the -headland Barakê (Dvârakâ) a place of special danger -of whose neighbourhood ships were warned by meeting with great black -water-snakes.</p> -<p>The next chapter (41) describes the gulf of Barygaza (gulf of -Cambay) and the adjoining land, but the passage has been much mangled -by the copyist of our only <abbr title="Manuscript">MS.</abbr> and more -still by the guesses of editors. According to the simplest correction -(<span class="trans" title="hērostēs’ Ariakēschōra"><span class="Greek" -lang="grc">ἥροςτης’ -Αριακησχωρα</span></span>) -our author says that next after Barakê (Dvârakâ) -follows the gulf of Barygaza and the country towards Ariakê, -being the beginning of the kingdom of Mambaros and of all India. -Mambaros may possibly be a corruption of Makhatrapos or some similar -Greek form of Mahâkshatrapa, the title of the so-called -“Sâh Kings” who ruled here at this period -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 250). According to the reading of -the <abbr title="Manuscript">MS.</abbr> the author goes on to say that -“the inland part of this country bordering on the Ibêria -(read Sabiria = Sauvîra) district of Skythia is called … -(the name, perhaps Maru, has dropped out of the text), and the -sea-coast Syrastrênê (Surâshṭra).” The -country abounded then as now in cattle, corn, rice, cotton and coarse -cotton cloth, and the people were tall and dark. The capital of the -country was Minnagara whence much cotton was brought down to Barygaza. -This Minnagara is perhaps the city of that name placed by Ptolemy near -Mânpur in the Vindhyas, but it has with more probability been -identified with Junâgad (Bhagvânlâl) which was once -called Manipura (Kath. Gaz. 487). Our author states that in this part -of the country were to be found old temples, ruined camps and large -wells, relics (he says) of Alexander’s march, but more probably -the work of Menandros and Apollodotos. This statement certainly points -to <span class="corr" id="xd25e45852" title="Source: Kâthiâvâda">Kâthiâvâḍa</span> -rather than to Mânpur. The voyage along this coast from -Barbarikon to the headland of Pâpikê (Gopnâth) near -Astakapra (Hâthab) and opposite to Barygaza (Broach) was one of -3000 stadia = 300 miles, which is roughly correct. The next chapter -(42) describes the northern part of the gulf of Cambay as 300 stadia -wide and running northward to the river Maïs (Mahî). Ships -bound for Barygaza steer first northward past the island <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb545" href="#pb545" name="pb545">545</a>]</span> -<span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Periplus.</i></span> Baiônes (Peram) and then eastward towards -the mouth of the Namnadios (Narmadâ) the river of Broach. The -navigation (chapter 43) is difficult by reason of rocks and shoals such -as Hêrônê (perhaps named from some wreck) opposite -the village of Kammôni (Kim) on the eastern shore and by reason -of the current on the western near <span class="corr" id="xd25e45870" -title="Source: Pâpiké">Pâpikê</span> (perhaps -a sailor’s name meaning Unlucky). Hence the government sends out -fishermen in long boats called Trappaga or Kotumba (Kotia) to meet the -ships (chapter 44) and pilot them into Barygaza, 300 stadia up the -river, by towing and taking advantage of the tides. In this connection -our author gives a graphic description of the Bore in the Narbadâ -(chapter 45) and of the dangers to which strange ships are exposed -thereby (chapter 46).</p> -<p>Inland from Barygaza (that is, from the whole kingdom, which, as we -have seen, bordered on Sauvîra or Multân) lay (chapter 47) -the Aratrioi (Araṭṭas of the Mahâbhârata and -Purâṇas, who lived in the Panjâb), the -Arakhôsioi (people of eastern Afghanistan), Gandaraioi -(Gandhâra of N.-W. Panjâb), Proklais (near Peshâwar), -and beyond them the Baktrianoi (of Balkh) a most warlike race, governed -by their own independent sovereigns. These last are probably the -Kushâns who, when the Parthian empire fell to pieces in the -second quarter of the third century, joined the Karên Pahlavs in -attacking Ardeshir. It was from these parts, says our author, that -Alexander marched into India as far as the Ganges—an interesting -glimpse of the growth of the Alexander legend since the days of Arrian -(<span class="sc">a.d.</span> 150). Our author found old -<i>drakhmai</i> of Menandros and Apollodotos still current in -Barygaza.</p> -<p>Eastward in the same kingdom (chapter 48) is the city of -Ozênê; which was formerly the capital, whence onyxes, -porcelain, muslins, and cottons are brought to Barygaza. From the -country beyond Proklais came costus, bdellium, and spikenard of three -kinds, the Kattybourine, the Patropapigic, and the Kabalitic (this last -from Kábul).</p> -<p>We learn incidentally that besides the regular Egyptian trade -Barygaza had commercial relations with Mouza in Arabia (chapter 21) -with the East African coast (chapter 14) and with Apologos (Obollah) at -the head of the Persian Gulf and with Omana on its eastern shore -(chapter 36). The imports of Barygaza were wine, bronze, tin and lead, -coral and gold stone (topaz ?), cloth of all sorts, variegated -sashes (like the horrible Berlin wool comforters of modern days), -storax, sweet clover, white glass, gum sandarac, stibium for the eyes, -and gold and silver coin, and unguents. Besides, there were imported -for the king costly silver plate, musical instruments (musical boxes -are still favoured by Indian royalty), handsome girls for the harem -(these are the famous Yavanî handmaids of the Indian drama), -high-class wine, apparel and choice unguents, a list which shows that -these monarchs lived in considerable luxury. The exports of Barygaza -were spikenard, costus, bdellium, ivory, onyxes, porcelain, box-thorn, -cottons, silk, silk thread, long pepper (chillies), and other wares -from the coast ports.</p> -<p>From Barygaza our author rightly says (chapter 50) that the coast -trends southward and the country is called Dakhinabadês -(Dakshiṇâpatha): much of the inland country is waste and -infested by wild beasts, while populous tribes inhabit other regions as -far as the Ganges. The chief towns in Dakhinabadês (chapter 51) -are Paithana (Paithan) twenty days journey south of Barygaza and Tagara -(Dhârur) a very large city ten days east of Paithana. From -Paithana come onyxes, and from Tagara cottons muslins and other local -wares from the (east) coast. <span class="pagenum">[<a id="pb546" href="#pb546" name="pb546">546</a>]</span></p> -<p><span class="fwMargin"><br> -Appendix VI.<br> -<span class="sc">Early Greeks and Romans.</span><br> -<i>Periplus.</i></span> The smaller ports south of Barygaza are -Akabarou (perhaps the Khabirun of Mahomedan writers and the modern -Kâvêrî the river of Nâusâri) Souppara -(Supârâ near Bassein) and Kalliena, which was made a mart -by the elder Saraganês, but much injured when Sandanês -became its master, for from his time Greek vessels visiting the port -are sent under guard to Barygaza.
