Note 187 — The Thirteenth New Year’s Feast

Mau was a Himalayan fort. Blochmann, 345. The text has Mau u s͟hahrī, and so have the MSS. The Iqbāl-nāma has Maud u Mahrī, p. 124, and so has the Maʾās̤ir U., II. 178. Evidently from what follows there were two places, unless one was the fort and the other the city. See also Tūzuk, 304, l. 10, which has pargana Maud Mahrī. In the Āyīn, Jarrett, II. 319, we have Mau and Nabah, and the next name in the list is Mahror. Gladwin has Mowd, and possibly we should translate “Mowd, a city on which he relied.” ↑
