Notes
^ Back to text1. The genealogies of the Saiyids of Bilgrām form the subject of an Urdu work, Rauḍat al-kirām s̲h̲ajarah i Sādāt i Bilgrām (236 pp.), by S. Waṣī al-Ḥasan (Gōrak’hpūr 1920).
^ Back to text2. Cf. no. 1454 (1) footnote supra.
^ Back to text3. In the bibliography to the unsigned article on Bilgrām in the Ency. Isl. this word is [correctly ?] spelt Firs̲h̲awrī. frs̲h̲wr (vocalization ?) is an old form of the name Peshawar (cf. ʿIṣāmī Futūḥ al-salāṭīn p. 401, l. 7863 (also li. 7866, 7870), Ṭabaqāt i Akbarī i p. 373), but this may have nothing to do with G̲h̲ulām-Ḥasan’s nisbah.
