[20]. [Jhāl, Salvadora persica.]
[21]. A second inscription recorded a similar end of Sewa, the Baori, who fell in another inroad of the Mers, in S. 1831.
[22]. I must deprecate criticism in respect to many of my geographical details. I find I have omitted this branch; but my health totally incapacitated me from reconstructing my map, which has been composed by the engraver from my disjointed materials. It is well known to all practical surveyors and geographers that none can do this properly but their author, who knows the precise value of each portion. [It is the main stream of the Lūni river.]
[23]. [At least three other temples of Brahma are known: at Khed Brahma in Mahikāntha (BG, v. 437 f.); Cebrolu and Māla in S. India (Oppert, Original Inhabitants of Bharatavarsa, 288 ff.). The Author mentions one at Chitor (Vol. I. p. [322]).]
[24]. [“The name probably suggested the myth [that he was a goatherd, Ajapāla = ‘goatherd’], and it is more reasonable to suppose that the appellation was given to him when, at the close of his life, he became a hermit, and ended his days at the gorge in the hills about ten miles from Ajmer, which is still venerated as the shrine of Ajaipāl. It has been shown, however, by more recent research that Aja or Ajāya flourished about A.D. 1000, and that the foundation of Ajmer must be attributed to this period” (Watson, Gazetteer, i. A. 9).]
[25]. Classically, Visaladeva. [Cunningham remarks that the date of Manik Rāē is fixed by a memorial verse in Sambat 741 or 747, but of what era is uncertain. Tod adopts the Vikrama era, and fixes his date twenty years before the invasion of Muhammad bin Kāsim, A.D. 712. He seems to have reigned in the beginning of the ninth century (ASR, ii. 253). Visaladeva lived in the middle of the twelfth century (Smith, EHI, 386). Tej Singh is mentioned in inscriptions A.D. 1260-67 (Erskine ii. B. 10).]
