Some twenty-one miles to the north-east of Bulandshahr on the right bank of the Ganges is the small town of Muir which (according to local tradition) is the spot where after Parikshit the successor of Raja Yudhislithir on the throne of Hatinipur had met his death by snake-bite his son Janamejaya to avenge his father's death performed a sacrifice for the destruction of the whole serpent [...] This latter was the son of l3ijay Ram (brother of Dasartith who built the Fort at Jalesar) the son of Ntillar Siiih (the founder of the Sambbal Fort) the son of Gobind Siiih who was the son of Mukund Sen the son of Rijti Vikram Sen of Baran. [...] The six short pillars are of the mediaeval Hindu period and may be ascribed to one of the Dor Thjis about the year 1000 A. D. They had been buried under the steps of a small mosque on the highest part of the old town of Bulandshahr. [...] 275 the name of the village is given as Indrapftr6 ; and by a curious coincdence the very same Number of the Journal contained an article of mine on local etymology in which I bad demonstrated by an application of the rules of the Pralcrit Grammarian Vararuchi that a Sanskrit word such as Indrapirra must in the natural course of phonetic decay become Indor in the modern dialect. [...] On the opposite that is the western side of the district there is an almost continuous succession of deserted kheras along the bank of the Ja.munii from the village of Begamabad to the town of Dankor a distance of about 20 miles.
