3is called the ** Great Grandfather;" and from him is de-

4rived the name of the Daoodputras (to which tribe the

5reigning family of Bahawalpur belongs). Bahadar Khan,

6son of Bhakar Khan, the son of Heibat Khan, the son of

7Saleh Khan, the son of Daood Khan, becoming straitened

8in his circumstances, was obliged to leave his native place,

9and proceeded to the town named Mada, in the vicinity

10of which he settled. Nothing further is mentioned of

11him. His grandson, Mohammed IL, the son of Bhakar

12Khan, had three sons, namely, Arib, Firoz, and Esah.

13The well-known tribes of Arbanee, Firozanee, and

14Eshanee, take their origin from these three brothers.

15The elder, being given up to religious pursuits, left the

16management of his father's estate in the hands of Firoz.

17Hereafter, the latter seems to have quitted his paternal

18village, and to have proceeded to a place called Taraee,

19the chief village of the Cheena tribe.

20Firoz Khan had five sons, the descendants of whom

21are traced out in the following table: —
