D. 1761. He had conquered the Panjab in 1748. He invaded
India five times.
4. In 1773.
5. Ludiana (misspelt 'Ludhiana' in _I.G._, 1908) is named from the
Lodi Afghans, who founded it in 1481. The town is now the
headquarters of the district of the same name under the Panjab
Government. Part of the district lapsed to the British Government in
1836, other parts lapsed during the years 1846 and 1847, and the rest
came from territory already British by rearrangement of jurisdiction.
Hyphasis is the Greek name for the Bias river.
6. The above history of the Kohinur may, I believe, be relied upon. I
received a narrative of it from Shah Zaman, the blind old king
himself, through General Smith, who commanded the troops at Ludiana;
forming a detail of the several revolutions too long and too full of
new names for insertion here. [W. H. S.] The above note is, in the
original edition, misplaced, and appended to two paragraphs of the
text, which have no connexion with the story of the diamond, and
really belong to Chapter 47, to which they have been removed in this
edition.
The author assumes the identity of the Kohinur with the great diamond
found in one of the Golconda mines, and presented by Amir Jumla to
Shah Jahan.
