CALCUTTA: OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF GOVERNMENT PRINTING, INDIA. ~88S· • PREFACE.
DURING the cold season of 1882.83 I expIore.d a great part of Eastern Rajputana, including portions of the states of Alwar, Bharatpur, Karauli j Dholpur, and Gwalior and the adjoining British districts of Delhi, Gurgaon, and Mathura. In Alwar I visited the old capitals of TejAra, RAjgarh, and PAranagar, with the border forts of Indor, Sarhata, and Kotila,· all of which have been famous for centuries. in the history of the Mevs, or Meos of MewAt. A~ Hind~s the Meos. often successfully resisted the arms of the Muhammadan kings of Delhi until the time of FerozTughlak~ when ~hey became converts to Muhammadanism. But in spite of their change of religion the Moslem Meos were just as turbulent as their Hindu ancestors-and they remained virtually independent from the time of Timur's invasion until the conquest' of Northern India by BAbar: BahAdur Kh9-n NAhar, the founder of the KMnzAdah dynasty of MewAt, secured the favour of Timur by numerous presents, of which the co~queror chiefly prized a pair of white parrots, or cockatoos, which must have been at least 80 years old, as they are said to have been in the possession of Tughlak Shah. . The priqcipal remains of the Meo Rulers £!6nsist of mosques and tombs. At Kotila I found 'a fine old stone mosque, standing on an elevated site, which was formerly occupied by a famous Hindu Temple. It was begun by BahAdur NAhar himself in .A.lt. 795, and .finished by his· successor in A.H. 803, as recorded in the inscription over th~ entrance gateway of the enclosure. IV PREFACE.
The town of Sambhali, mentioned in this inscription, still exists under the name of SM.habAd, 4 miles' to the west of TejAra. ' At TejAra itself there is one of the largest Muhammadan tombs now standing in Northern India. The name of the owner of this fine mausoleum is not certainly known, but it is said to be the last resting-place of AlA-ud.din Ala,m Shah, the brother of Sikandar Lodi, who was for a long, time the Governor of TejAra during Sikci.ndar's reign. He afterwards disagreed with his nephew Ibrahim Lodi, and joined BAbar, on his invasion, in A.H. 932. He lived into HumAyun's reign; but it is not known when or where he died. . In the Bharatpur territory i visited the holy grove, or forest, of Kadamba-vana, now called KAman. The Hindu temples were demolished in the reign of Iltitmish, and a large mosque built on their site. The mosque is known as the Assi. Khambha, or "Eighty Pillars.", °Built into the wall inside I fouonei an early inscription of the old Surasena Rajas of Muthura. An inscription over the gateway of the Masjid assigns its erection to Iltitmish. From KAman I went to BayAIia, one of the famous strong holds of Upper India. There I obtained a large number of Muhammadan inscriptions, of which the most interesting are a series recording the rule of the Auhadi family for several gener ations. Here again I found old mosques' built of Hindu materials, whichhave now, under a Hindu government, revert· ed, to Hindu use. The two principal mosques date from the . reigns of Ala-ud-din Muhammad Khalji and his son Kutb-ud din MuMrak. The latter is now used as a cattle-yard, and is only known to the people as a Nohara, or " cattle-pen!' The great fort of TahangarhO in the Karauli territory has hitherto been unnoticed, although it was formerly one of the great forts of Upper India. It was besieged by Muhammad. bin-SAm in person" and would appear to have remained in the hands of the Muhammadans down to the time of Ibrahim Lodi and Islam Shah S-ur, of both of whom inscriptions still remain in the fort. It is now quite deserted, and is filled with thick jungle infested by tigers. In the early Muham madan histories the name is written Thangar ,. but the founda. PREFACE. v tion of the place'is ascribed to Tahan PAl, one of the early YAdava Rajas, and the name is so written at the present day. Whilst in this neighbourhood I visited the battle-field of KhAnwa, where BAbar defeated the great Hindu prince SangrAm, Rana of Mewar, and his ally Hasan KhAn, Ruler of MewAt. Here I sought for, and found, the Baoli well which BAbar built on the spot where he poured out all the wine in his camp, in fulfilment of a vow which he had long made, and regularly neglected, until the imminent danger of his po sition in front of an overwhelming force reminded him of his broken vows. In the Gwalior territory. the chief place visited was the great Jain Temple of Dubkund. The site is very inaccessible, as it lies in the very heart of the deep j~ngles, 76 miles to the south-west of Gwalior direct, and 44 miles to west north. west from Sipri. From Gwalior the actual distance by road is 98 miles. .. The temple is a square enclosure of 81 feet. ea.ch side. On each side there are ten rooms. The four comer rooms open outwards, but all the rest open inwards into a corridor supported on square pillars. The entrance is, on the east side, through one of the small rooms. Each of these thirty-five chapels (thirty-four opening inwards, and four comer rooms opening outwards) originally contained a statue, of which only broken pieces now remain j but there are many of the pedestals still in.situ witli richly carved canopies above.
The entrance to each chapel is also most elaborately carved I after the fashion of the entrance to the sanctum of a Brahman ica} temple. There are four figure!? on each jamb, and three large seated 'figures on each lintel, one in the middle, and one at each end, with small standing figures between them. On one of the pillars. there is a short inscription which gives the date of 1152 Samvat, and on the pedestal of one of the broken figures there is a nearly obliterated inscription with the date of Samvat 1151. The temple, however, was built a few years earlier, as one of the pillars of the corridor or inside bears a long inscription of 59 lines, giving the date of the erection in Samvat 1145, or A.D. 1088. It opens with the Jaina invocation- Aum! Namo VitarAgAya. . VI PREFACE.
/I Glory to VitarAga," which is one of the titles of the Jaina Saints. As the inscription mentions the Kackkapaghdta tilaka, or ornament of the KachwAha race, the country must then have belonged to the KacchwAha Raja 'of Gwalior. At PAroli .and ParAvali, situated in the hills to the' north of the fortress of Gwalior, at 9 to 16 miles, there is a very great assemblage of small stone temples of the later Gupta style. The most curious building is a large cov..ered well, called Ckaua-kUa, or the "Roofed well." It has' a small temple of the Gupta style attached to it. It possesses an in scription dated in Samvat 1528, or A.D. 1471; during the reign of the Tomara Raja Sri Kirtti Singha Deva, who reigned from A.D. 1454 to 1479. But the well must be many cen turies older than his time, as the style of the temple is 'un doubtedly that .of the Gupta period, while the pillars show that a complete re-arrangement must have been made at some period long subsequent to the original erection. . In the district ·of Mathura I discovered ~everal old in scriptions of the Indo-Scythian period, one of which is dated in the year 62, or A.D. 150 according to my reckoning. A still older record was set up during the reign of the son of the Satrap Rajubula, who most probably ruled about ·.the beginning of the Christian era. But the most valuable dis covery made at Mathura was a colossal statue, 7 feet high, .cut in tlle round, with an inscription in Maurya characters, like those on the Asoka Pillars. This statue was found at the village of Parkham; which is now one of the railway stations between :Mathura and Agra. At MaMban,.on the opposite bank of the Jumna a little below Mathura, I got a long inscription of 29 lines dated in Samvat 1207, or A.D. I I 50, wi~h the name of Maharaja Ajaya Pala Deva, one of the YAduvansi Rajas, who reigned from A.D. 1135 to 1160. I found also that a considerable part of an old Hindu Temple was still standing intact in the ¥asjid of Eighty Pillars. Even the roof of this portion has remained undisturbed. ,At Kota, 5 miles ~o the north of Mathura, I found a large Rumber of pillars of a Buddhist railing. They were all of the usual type, with a male or female figure on one face, and PRRIiACE. vu some lotus medallions on the opposite face. They were all of small size, being only 2 feet 81 inches in height, with a breadth of 7 inches, and a thickness of 3 inches. Here I found a small independent group of two female figures, with a tree on the back of the sculpture. At Chaumukha, there is a curious old Buddhist capital, with four females standing between four lions. Hence the name of the village, as Chau-mukha is only a corruption of Chatur-mukha, or "four faces.'; I could not find any other remains. Mr. Growse has described this sculpture as the base of a pillar. But, so far as my observation has gone, the Buddhist monoliths are invaria,bly without bases. In the Gurgaon District I visited Firozpur-Jhirka, Kotila, I odor, Palah, Sohna, Bhonsi, and Gurgaon. Kotila I have • already noticed as one of the border places of Alwar. Fi rozpur-Jhirka is remarkable for its fine springs of water in a cleft of the range of hills, through which a good road has now been maae leading to Tej1ra. These springs were visited by the Emperor Babar. The hills and surrounding country have now been cleared of jungle, and the lands are well cultivated. But in former days, when the whole place was covered with jungle, the turbulent .KhAnzadah Chiefs of Meldt in\-ana.bly retreated to Jhirka (or the "springs "), where they felt themselves to be safe from pursuit. The place was renamed as Firozpur-Jhirka by the brother of Baha dur Naber during the reign of Firoz Tughlak, when the two brothers, as I conclude, received grants of TejAra and Jhirka on becoming Musalmans. In the Delhi District I visited several buildings that had hitherto escaped observation, as well as many others that re quired careful measurements. Amongst the latter I may mention the Tomb of Sultan Ghari at MahipAlpur, tbe Tomb of Firoz Shah Tughlak near Begampur, and the Tomb of MubArak Sayid at Mubarakpur Kotila. Amongst the former are the curious Baithak and Tomb of Kabir-uddin Auliya, near Begumpur, and the Chor-Minar, or "Thieves;.Tower," near the same place. This Tower is circular, with rows of holes on the outside for the reception of the heads of thieves. At Kbairpur I measured the Jami Masjid of Sikandar. VllI PREFACE.
