Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2

This name appears to be a corruption. The sound, however, bears a suspicious resemblance to “Dabshalim (a name most proper for such a Prince, to wit, meaning in their tongue a mighty King),” who appears in chapt. i. of the “Fables of Pilpay” (Bidpai = Bidyapati = Lord of Lore?) “Dabshalímat” = the Dabshalíms, was the dynastic title of the Kings of Somanáth (Somnauth) in Western India.
