Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, v. 3 of 3 / or the Central and Western Rajput States of India

Opening of the book

Transcriber’s Note:
The text is annotated with numerous footnotes,
which were numbered sequentially on each page.
On occasion, a footnote itself is annotated by a
note. In the previous two volumes, these were
referenced using symbols (e.g. *, †), which have
been converted to an alphabetic sequence (e.g.,
A, B). In this volume, however, the ‘subnotes’
appear in one instance as numerals. For the sake
of consistency, the convention used in the
previous volumes has been adopted.
Since there are over 900 notes in this volume,
they have been gathered at each chapter’s end,
and resequenced for each chapter. Links are
provided to navigate from the reference to the
note, and back.
The notes are a combination of those of the
author, and of the editor of this edition. The
text of the latter are enclosed in square
brackets. The bold-faced phrases that begin each
topic were also added by the editor, and
spelling of Hindi or Sanskrit words may vary
between those phrases and the author’s text.
The
pagination
of
the
original
edition,
published in the 1820's, is preserved for ease
of reference by including those page numbers in
the text, also enclosed in square brackets.
Crooke’s plan for the renovation of the Tod’s
original text, including a discussion of the
transliteration of words other than English, is
given in detail in the Preface.
Several tables spanned multiple pages, with
sums totaled before the page break as “Carried
forward”, and repeated on the following page.
These have been removed, given the nature of the
current text.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer,
have been corrected. Given the history of the
text,
it
was
thought
best
to
leave
all
orthography as printed.
Please see the transcriber’s note at the end
of this text for details regarding the handling
