Note 1 — Chapter XVI · UDAIPUR

These notes on the history of Chitor are taken, it need hardly be said, from Tod’s Rajast’han, he being the authority on Rajputana. An account of the above incident is given somewhat differently by Maurice in his Modern History of Hindostan (1803), who also relates that Akbar used the same trick to enter Rhotas in Behar, after being long baffled by the apparent impregnability of that fortress.
