Note 62 — PART I.—DESCRIPTION.
Reading edition
Briggs’ Farishtah, IV. 247–249. Malcolm’s (Central India, I. 38) writes the Rájput’s name Maderay. The Mirăt-i-Sikandari (Persian Text, 149–155), gives the form Medáni Rai, the Lord of the Battlefield, a title which the author says (page 149) Mehmúd conferred on the Rájput in acknowledgment of his prowess. ↑
