SHIVAJI.
[biblio.


2nd ed., a painstaking and accurate compilation and guide to sources; but lacks knowledge of all original sources except Marathi. Valuable for the history of literature, religion and noble families.Genealogies a speciality.

I have not seen the 96-qalmi bakjnar, which appears to belong to the same class as No. 107 above.

B. Hindi.

114. Bhushan's Granthavali, ed. by Shyam Bihari Mishra and Shukdev Bihari Mishra (Nagri Pracharini Sabha, Benares, 1907.)

Fulsome adulation of Shiva, by means of an infinite variety of similes and parallels from Hindu scriptures and epics ! No history, no date. But shows us the atmosphere and the Hindu mind of the time.

115. Chhatra-prakash by Lai Kavi (Nagri Pracharini Sabha, Benares.) Canto xi deals with Chhatra Sal's visit to Shiva. English trans., in Pogson's History of the Boondelas, (Calcutta, 1826.)

C. Persian.

Most of the Persian sources have been described and discussed in my History of Aurangzib, Bibliographies I. and II. at the end of Vols. ii. and iii., and for convenience of reference I here give them the numbers which they bear in that work.

2. Padishahnamah, by Abdul Hamid Lahori.

4. Amal-i-Salih. by Kambu.

5. Alamgir-namah by Mirza Md. Kazim.
