Jalál Khán was killed in 1620 (15th year) in Bangash, and his son Akbar Qulí, who then served at Kángṛah, was made a commander of 1000, and sent to Bangash (Tuzuk, pp. 307, 308).

Jahángír, after the suppression of Khusrau's revolt passed on his way to Kábul through the Gakk'har district (Tuzuk, pp. 47, 48). He left the Bahat (1st Muharram, 1016) and came to Fort Rohtás, the cost of which he states to have been 161,000,000 dáms, ‘which is equal to 4,025,000 rupees in Hindústání money, or 120,000 Persian tumáns, or 1 irb, 2,175,000 silver Hálís of Turání money.’ After a march of 4¾ kos, he came to Ṭílah, ṭílah in the Gakk'har dialect meaning ‘a hill.’ He then came to Dih Bhakrálah, bhakrá meáning ‘forest.’ The way from Ṭílah to Bhakrá passes along the bed of the Káhan river, the banks of which are full kanír flowers. He then came to Hatiá, which was built by a Gakk'har of the name of Hát??hí (mentioned in Mr. Delmerick's History of the Gakk'hars, Journal, Asiatic Society, Bengal, 1871). The district from Márgalah to Hatiá is called Poṭ'hwár; and from Rohtás to Hatiá dwell the Bhúgiáls, a tribe related to the Gakk'hars. From Hatiá, he marched 4¾ kos and reached Pakkah, so called because it has a pucca sarái. Four and a half kos further on, he came to Kuṛaṛ, which means in the Gakk'har dialect ‘rugged.’ He then went to Ráwalpinḍí, which is said to have been built by a Hindú of the name Ráwal, pinḍí meaning ‘a village,’ and gives a few curious particulars regarding the river and the pool of the place. From Ráwalpinḍí he went to Kharbuzah, where a dome may be seen which has the shape of a melon (kharbuzah). The Gakk'hars used formerly to collect tolls there. He then came to the Kálápání, and to the Márgalah pass, már meaning ‘killing,’ and galah ‘a carawan.’ “Here ends the country of the Gakk'hars. They are a brutish race, always at feud with each other. I asked them to live in peace; but they will not.”*

The Pádisháhnámah (II., 240, 264, 266, 722, 733, 740) mentions several Gak­k'har chiefs—

1. Akbar Qulí Sulṭán, a commander of 1500, 1500 horse, died in the 18th year of Sháhjahán's reign. His son Murád Qulí Sulṭán, was under Sháhjahán a com­mander of 1500, 1000 horse (Pádisháhn. II., 410, 485, 512, 523, 565, 595, 655, 730).

2. Jabbár Qulí, (brother of Jalál Khán),* 1000, 800 horse.

3. Khizr Sulṭán, (son of Nazar Khán),* 800, 500 horse, died in the 12th year Shahj.'s reign.

The Pádisháhnámah (I., p. 432) mentions Gakk'hars' mules as famous.

The Maásir í 'A´lamgírí (p. 155) also mentions Murád Qulí and his son Allah Qulí. Allah Qulí's daughter was married to Prince Muhammad Akbar, fourth son of Aurangzíb, on the 3rd Rajab, 1087.

248. Ra´m Chand, son of Madhukar [Bundelah].

He is also called Rám Sáh, and was mentioned on p. 356. He was introduced at court by Çádiq Khán (No. 43), when Akbar was in Kashmír (1000). In the first year of Jahángír's reign, we find him in rebellion, evidently because his right of suc­cession was rendered doubtful by the predilection of the emperor for Bir. Singh Deo, Rám Chand's younger brother. In the end of the first year, he was attacked by 'Abdul­lah Khán, who moved from Kálpí, his jágír, to Uṉḍchah. On the 27th Zí Qa'dah 1015, Rám Chand was brought fettered to court; but Jahángír had his fetters taken off, gave him a dress of honor, and handed him over to Rájah Bású of Dhamerí. ‘He never thought that he would be treated so kindly’ (Tuzuk, p. 42). But Uṉḍchah was handed over to Bir Singh Deo as reward for the murder of Abulfazl.

In the 4th year of his reign (1018), Jahángír married Rám Chand's daughter at the request of her father (vide Tuzuk, p. 77; and No. 225, note).

He appears to have died in 1021, and was succeeded by his son Bhárat Singh. Tuzuk, p. 112.

Muhammadan Historians give the following tree of the Uṉḍchah Bundelahs—

Rájah Partáb, founds Uṉḍchah in 1531, A. D.  
1. Bhárat Chand, (died childless). 2. Madhukar Singh, (dies 1000).    
1. Rám Chand, (dies 1021). 2. Hoḍal Ráo, (killed, p. 356). 3. Bir Singh Deo, the murderer of Abulfazl (dies 1036).
A son.      
  1. Jhujhár Singh. 2. Paháṛ Singh. 3. Chandr Man.
Bhárat.     4. Bení Dás.
  Bikramájít. Subhán Singh. 5. Bhagwán Dás.
Debí Singh.      
    Prit'hí Singh.  
    Saṉwal Singh.  

The Maásir contains biographical notes of nearly all of them. Vide also Thornton's Gazetteer, under Oorcha.

Bení Dás and Bhagwán Dás were killed by a Rájpút in the 13th year of Sháh­jahán's reign. They held commands of 500, 200 horse, and 1000, 600 horse, respectively.

Chandr Man was in the 20th year of Sh. a commander of 1500, 800 horse.

Vide Pádisháhnámah I., 172 (where another Bundelah of the name of Suhk Dev is mentioned), 205, 241, 368, 372, 425; II., 731, 734.

The Maásir i 'A´lamgírí mentions several Bundelahs, as Satr Sál, Jáswant Singh, Indarman (died 1088) and the rebellious sons of Champat (l. c., pp. 161, 163, 169, 273, 424). Vide also under No. 249.

Bir Singh Deo, the murderer of Abulfazl, in often called in bad MSS. Nar Singh Deo. Thus also in the printed editions of the Tuzuk, the 1st volume of Pádisháh­námah, the 'A´lamgírnámah, &c., and in Elphinstone's History. The temples which he built in Mat'hurá at a cost of 33 lacs of Rupees, were destroyed by Aurangzíb in 1080. (Maásir i 'A´lamgírí, p. 95).*

249. Ra´jah Mukatman, the Bhadauriah.

Bhadáwar is the name of a district S. E. of A´grah; its chief town is Hatkánt'h (vide p. 323, note 4). The inhabitants are called Bhadauriahs. They were known as daring robbers, and though so near the capital, they managed to maintain their independence till Akbar had their chief trampled to death by an elephant, when they submitted.

The next chief, Mukaṭman, entered the imperial service, and rose to a mançab of 1000. In 992, he served in Gujrát (Akbarnámah III., 423, 438).

Under Jahángír, we find a chief of the name of Rájah Bikramájít, who served under 'Abdullah against the Ráná, and later in the Dak'hin. He died in the 11th year of Jahángír and was succeeded by his son Bhoj. Sayyid Ahmad's edition of the Tuzuk (p. 108) mentions a Bhadauriah chief Mangat, who in the 7th year served in Bangash; but the name is doubtful.

Under Sháhjahán, the head of the Bhadauriah clan was Rájah Kishn Singh. He served in the first year under Mahábat Khán against Jhujhár Singh, and in the 3rd year, against Khán Jahán Lodí and the Nizám ul Mulk, who had afforded Khán Jahán protection. In the 6th year, he distinguished himself in the siege of Daulat­ábád. Three years later, in the 9th year, he served under Khán Zamán against Sáhú Bhonslah. He died in the 17th year (1053).

In the Pádisháhnámah (I., b., 309) he is mentioned as a commander of 1000, 600 horse.
