• Read This king is well-known by the name of Waalr Khan, the title which he adopted on ascending the throne. Geucal, Cunningham erroneously took Ghaint narilan to mean King of Ghazut (100 his Reports, Vol. IX, p. 117), not being aware that Gbazn wm a personal name. Piriabta omitted this name, but Abal Paal hoe mentioned it (see Jarrett's Lin-s-Akbart, Vol. II, p. 226).
• The number of fria written for Bja. is usually 108, but bero a single Agare stands for the bigboot number, as 6 are written for a preceptor, 5 for a master, 4 for an enemy, 3 for friend, 3 for servant, and 1 for wile ora 30m.
