Jagmall deposed in favour of Rāna Partāp Singh.


[1]. The seraglio, or female palace.

[2]. Bari, Nai, are names for the barbers, who are the cuisiniers of the Rajputs. [The special duty of the Bāri is making leaf-platters from which Hindus eat: he is also a domestic servant, but does not, like the Nāi, work as a barber.]

[3]. [Dr. Tessitori states that the true form of the name is Dahīpra or Dahīpura, and they seem to be the same as the Depla of Gujarāt, where they are said to have been originally Lohānas (BG, ix. Part i. 122).]

[4]. The laity of the Jain persuasion are so called [srāvak, meaning ‘a disciple’].

[5]. Bara ‘great,’ būrha ‘aged’; the ‘wise elder’ of Rajasthan, where old age and dignity are synonymous.

[6]. [On the privilege of eating with the Rāna see p. [213] above.]

[7]. [There seems no basis for this tradition. The Bhonslas sprang from a Marātha headman of Deora in Sātāra (IGI, xviii. 306).]

[8]. Suhaila.
