FOOT NOTES.
1. Devagiri is now called Daulatabad. It has a population of about 1500 men now. It was founded in A. D. 1187. Once it was the capital of Yadavas. It was named Daulatabad in A. D. 1339. This city is 10 miles north-west of Aurangabad in the Nizam State. In A. D. 1294 Aurangzeb had broken the impregnable fort of this city. The ruler is called Nizamshah, but his full name was Buran Nizamshah. He ruled from A. D. 1503 to 1533. Hirvijaysuri had gone to Devagiri in this ruler's time.

After that he died. Therefore there is a mistake either in the governor's name or in the date.

6. According to Ahmad Yadgar, Akbar, by the order of Beramkhan, cut off Hemu's head with an impure weapon, but
