Tujarkhan may be identified with Malik-ut-Tujjar who was a governor of Daulatabad at the time of Ala-ud-Din Ahmed Bahmani who establishes his authority in Konkan in 1437 A. D. This Malik-utTujjar was a leader of the foreigners in the Court.1 If all these identifications prove to be correct. 'Gurjarādhisa-Maba
tle 92) may be identified with either Muhammad II (1442-51) or Mahmud I, Begada (1458-1511).
There is a reference to 'Manira' or 'Manira-Vira' (Title 16) who was harassed by Kālasena in the neighbourhood of many caverns surrounded by Sthāna.' If this Sthāna can be identified with the fort of Thalner in Khānadesh, and Manira can be transliterated as Miran, we can identify the Manira-Vira with either Miran Adilkhan (1437- 1441 A.D.) or Miran Muharik (1441-1457).*
The title number 36 refers to one Baggularāja. The name Baggula is equivalent to Bāgula.

According to Mr. C. D. Dalal, the learned editor of the work, Baglan seems to mean the country of Bagulas. In the fifteenth century it was subordinate to the Sultans of Gujarat. Every chief of Bāglan is called Babarji. Mr. Dalal thinks that the word may be from Bhairava. In the geneology of the Bāgulas the name of the last king is Bhairav sena."
The title number 37 refers to one Bedura-Bhüpāla. This Bedura can be identified with Belur in the Belur taluka of Hassan District, Mysore. Belur or Velāpura was connected with the Hoyasalas.5.
The complete subjugation of the Hoyaşala kingdom and the annexation of it to the empire of Delhi were not effected in the reign of Muhammad Tughlak till A.D. 1327. Vira Ballāla III was liberated and he continued for a short time longer the semblance of a reign at the original capital of Belur and afterwards he retired to Tondanur-the modern Toņņur near Seringapatan.
