Description  Of Nepal. Came down to the Sonepore race meet “in great state, with a bodyguard of three hundred men.” Was met at the river Gunduk by an A.-D.-C. [Aide de Camp], and conveyed to his camp in the Vice-regal carriage. His many wives had accompanied him—more than thirty in all, and each with her own retinue of women servants—to witness the sights and to bathe in the sacred Ganges. Sir Jung was “very affable, and conversed freely in Hindustani ... he was a little man with a sharp, restless, and cruel eye.”    
Indexer Notes  (1) Bahadoor, or Bahádur, refers to a hero or warrior, or is a title given to nobles under the Muhmmadan government or, by the nineteenth century, to distinguished officials. (2) This index entry was extracted from sketches of: Sir Jung Bahadoor and his company; a description of the Durbar [reception, levée or audience at court] held on the occasion of the Sonepore race meet, at which Sir Jung was introduced to Lord Mayo; the exhibition of the horse artillery from Dinapore; the ball; the parade of the Nepalese troops; and, the capture of a mad elephant [pp. 161-165].
