[1] These notes on the history of Chitor are taken, it need hardly be said,
from Tod's _Rajast'han_, he being _the_ authority on Rajputana. An
account of the above incident is given somewhat differently by Maurice
in his _Modern History of Hindostan_ (1803), who also relates that
Akbar used the same trick to enter Rhotas in Behar, after being long
baffled by the apparent impregnability of that fortress.
[2] The Jain Tower of Fame was also left standing, it dates from about
A.D. 900.

[5] The infant Oodi Singh being threatened with death by conspirators, his
Rajputni nurse hid him in a fruit-basket, and, covering it with leaves,
had it conveyed out of the fort, substituting her own child just as
Bimbir, the usurper, entered the room and asked for the prince. Her
pallid lips refused to utter sound, but she pointed to the cradle and
saw the swift steel plunged into the heart of her child.
